This kind of price increase happens a lot on Amazon from 3rd-party sellers. In this case, I think the notoriety of this model, due to the Jodi Arias murder case, is the reason the seller thinks he can get this price. This is the exact model owned by the murder victim Travis Alexander, and photos taken with it figure very importantly into the trial, which is taking place right now.

How do you do, Mr. Ryan. I call it Suzuki, the staff of a bell. Thank you for your consideration. Since this mail is using the translator, it has made a mistake in it, and although it may be an acatalepsy, please allow it. Although I am carrying out simultaneous sale of this camera also in the store in Tokyo, it is still in stock. It is a late model of XP series of FUJIFILM. In order of XP60 -&gt;XP150 -&gt;XP200, it is the most expensive and performance is also the most wonderful. Is it an answer of the question? Moreover, please do not hesitate to ask a question.

This is basically backordered everywhere. Check out all the buying options, there are still some for sale at $799, but get them quickly since they're in super high demand! I was able to get one from Camera Land here on Amazon for $799 just the other day, and I'm now waiting for it in the mail.

An old model of this computer costs $599. I don't think this specific model was ever &lt; $600.

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...!

This camera is good. However, this is a used camera so the package was sent to me without the string co keep the lens cover. The price for this old model is not reasonable because I see some deal in the market after I bought was lower price.

Not everyone is interested in trying to use their point and shoot camera as a camcorder, and 2.5 vs 2.8 gimme a break. And I don't know if you've been paying attention to the economy but not everyone has the luxury of paying 600-700 dollars on a camera. Less capable eh? I guess that's one of the reason alot people who own rebels and some of the other slr's use s5 is and g9 as a backup. The camera is only as good as its user.

Because the seller is price gouging. My advice: don't buy it. No one pays MORE for old technology.

The reason the price jumped is that Amazon doesn't have the camera in stock (hardly anyone does -- Panasonic seems to have badly underestimated demand), and the only third-party Amazon sellers who have it are charging these ridiculous gouging prices because they think there are people willing to pay that much to get it NOW as opposed to whenever Panasonic can manufacture enough to satisfy the demand. If I were to put in an order with Amazon today (buying from Amazon at $899), I doubt I'd receive it before January at this point. There's no way I would pay $1500 for a GF1, but the official $899 price seems fair for what it is (with a lens included).

I don't know. In the interest of full disclosure, I buy expensive cameras and lenses only at my local camera store that is still thriving after 40 years for good reason. No question about what one is buying ever comes up.

When i add the camcorder the price is 251$, is it a new product or used one.

Google the sellers name and reviews. I have found that all the sellers I checked that were below the average street price of about $2700 were bait and switch shops. If you didn't buy their overpriced accessories they would tell you that the camera was out of stock.
