price of canon pixma mp990: Why does the price keep changing so much?

Amazon had the entire line of Canon printers 50% off on Black Friday... for one day only. :-(

Amazon tends to raise their price autmatically (?) if there is more interests for the item. e.g. more clicks and page views increases the price. I think the price drop for a bit due the rumor that waterpoof version of this lense is going to be out soon. This is not a water-proof lense but a great one indeed.

The price differences also occur when you try to buy used or refurbished cameras. Different sellers have different colors available and don't charge the same price. That is annoying because often I find a camera that is Prime but not "like new" or vice versa in the color I want. I wish this camera was available in the pretty purple you can get for the 340 because that would be perfect.

it is 99.90. I think you may be looking at different prices from different sellers. Thanks

That's what really annoys me about Canon. Marketing this way makes them look really cheap. It's like buying a $500 pair of Brooks Bros. shoes and then selling (for $50 extra) a set of real long lasting ones instead of the spider web variety that comes with the shoes. Ok. Include the big battery with the camera when you first buy it. Charge $75 bucks extra. Fine. But this seems like the same kind of pyramid marketing they use for injet printer ink. The printer itself is pretty cheaply put together junk. But the goldmine (for them) is their life blood. The ink. Same with the gas in your car. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

It usually happens to amazon when a new model of a camera is to be released. In this case, the new Canon Gx1 flagship camera is the new 'breed' of the G series. Either that it the G12 production has completely stopped, meaning that's it. Hence price hike.

Only because there is more demand for Canon mount. Price is the same otherwise; my canon mount was 799.

I replaced the head on my MP560 as I have a cheap source of ink cartridges plus I have two of the printers to inter change parts.On Amazon I can get 20 color and sm black cartridges for $10. and large black for 9 of them for the same amount; $10.

I believe the issue is that Amazon sold out of them (this seems to be a very popular camera), and the third party sellers are charging a higher price due to the demand. It's not anything Amazon's done, $999 isn't their price.

It is now $299.95 !!!! It is the perfect time to get this camera, I got one already, and am loving every moment of using it. Panasonic LUMIX DMCG2K 12.1MP Digital Camera (Body Only)

Vendors (in this case, Canon) sets and adjusts the prices due to supply & demand among a variety of other factors. Fluctuations are normal. Use a price tracker or keep checking back until you find it at a price you want. Amazon does not raise prices based off of your personal views/clicks on a product.I wouldn't count on the price swinging down im the near future (holiday season premium maybe?)

Its to funny that you'd say that about compatible replacement cartridges. I have a small Canon i560 printer and used compatible cartridges in it - since then, no matter that I've since replaced them with Canon cartridges - it prints 2 brownish lines at the end of the page. Pretty aggravating - have tried everything to fix this - looks like the only fix there is is to buy a new printer - would you buy the Pro 9000 again if you had it to do over.

I have a good copy of the Canon 330 and wrote a good review of it - and I still like it. - BUT - I bought it on sale on Amazon. Gradually the price has crepted up to almost double what I paid. At the current price point, I might try the Canon 340, the Casio ZR700, or the Panasonic ZS25 or ZS20. I think this camera is now on premium pricing. I would not pay more than $200 or, preferably $175 for it - especially with its continuing battery issues. You can do better.

I'm guessing the reason for the price increase is due to this item being discontinued by the manufacturer. I have 2 printers. The Blacks share the same refill system; however, the color take separate so I need 3 different kits. I use to pay $14.00 each for these, and not from this supplier. It's sad that these kits are hard to come by as they were the most efficient, and easiest to use of all the kits I have ever used.

The fact that the 900 is cheaper on Amazon and elsewhere should tell you something. I've heard that the 900 was created to satisfy Canon marketing people who insisted on having a 10mp SD out there.

Lesson learned: Wait 6 months for all the market tizzy to die down! Look! Photoworld isn't even charging the $1000 premium any longer! I guess we'll be playing this game again when the 5d mark ii version comes out! :) Thanx for posting your replies Scott! They were extremely helpful!!!!!! We all must do our due diligence & call these scammers out!!!!!! Just think...EBAY is worse! Buyer Beware!

Thanks for the tip. I have a different model Canon - same issue with the low ink pop up. I don't use if for fax, but I would frequently put a load of paper in the feeder to copy and leave the room expecting them to be done when I return. Nine times out of ten, I return to a " ink is low, do you want to continue?" message. Duh. I want to continue til that sucker is dry at $15 a pop. And with 5 ink cartridges, one is always low. I like my printer, but being reminded with virtually every page printed that one of my cartridges was low was getting very old. I changed the Printer Status and Voila, I don't get the silly pop up! Yeah! I am using an MP830, by the way. Thanks for the tip. I have a different model Canon - same issue with the low ink pop up.
