I'm sorry why are people paying nearly $600 more for the difference of only **4gb added between this "pro 3k" model and the original aluminum black?

they have different monitor, one has 3k definition (basically a retina monitor), and one has standard hd

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

I currently have the A3 for my 40" 1080i Samsung LCD. I also picked up a new A35 from Best Buy for $150. Now I have a back up/player, If I decide to upgrade to a 1080p TV. Go online to bestbuy.com, see if the stores in your area have any available. If they do, then run! At this price they're going very fast.Remember the five free movie rebate is still going, you have until 2/28.

The $50 thing was a special limited time offer. $120 is the actual price of the upgrade. Snooze you lose!

Yeah what happened? This was $279 just a few days ago and frequently was available for as low as $240. So what gives? Looking to get this, but not at over $400! And be warned, with USB 3.0 quickly becoming the standard, any HD camcorders with USB 2.0 built in will be passe very soon.

Probably because SanDisk produced less of them, meaning a higher per-unit cost. That cost is, in turn, passed onto the consumer. It's unfortunate.

It is only a few hundred more than the D3 introductory price. The frame buffer upgrade alone justifies the price increase. Not to mention the increase in ISO performance. They took a great camera and slapped in some great enhancements. This isn't marketed toward people who have a D3, it is for those who do not.

The only difference between the two devices is the 32GB built-in memory. While that might sound like a nice feature, 32GB for $200 extra is ridiculously expensive. Also, 32GB is not that much if you are recording @ full quality.

The pro uses proven technology like in previous models (830). The evo is a new kind of memory that might be good but I think is worth waiting to see.

Also,it is required that the two memory slots be populated for DUAL CHANNEL MODE! At current pricing, maxing out to 16GB ( 2x8GB modules) will cost approx $100.00, which is not a bad idea, since this unit does have shared video memory. Look on the KINGSTON Memory site. It will suggest the correct modules, then look them up on Amazon for best pricing.

Try jr.com, they also sell the Black version for $399.99 although they are also out of stock....I placed an order with them a few days ago, hopefully they won't cancel.The current price of $649.99 is just ridiculous. Geez I hate merchants who take advantage of a situation like this.

And now 2 years later, that Fuji abandoned the "faster chip" for the megapixel race... this sucker is getting more expensive. I got it for 220 with rebate in Oct. 06, now offered at $800?

If you mean the old model is more expensive, I believe 1.) it is harder to find for sale 2.) There are a lot of notes indicating the older model may have come from a time when the quality of the units were actually better. 3.) I am going to purchase an older model because I do not need high resolution, I want quality, and I am connecting to XP.

Mine never was and I've owned both the 6k and the 8k. I think that it's overrated in terms of the space it can handle, but the ergonomics are spot on.

Dude, it's too expensive to order smaller quantities of 2 & 4 gig cards then have separate storage and more labor keeping them separate and pulling them correctly for the right order. mine came with a four gig so its just a way of offering you the option of paying $5 more if you'd like to. doesn't the other one you're talking about come with some sort of reusable condom in case you take your personal body camera to a golden showers party so it won't get wet?

In my opinion it is not significant of an upgrade to change. The only real differences are an increase of 5 megapixels and an slightly increased shot rate. Not enough to ditch the older model. Neal

Supply and demand. Many of the 'Big Box' outlets and online stores are running low on inventory or are sold out of the black model. Even Samsung .com (direct) has reduced it's price incentives, extended protection warranty promotion and memory give-away (quality). It goes to reason that if there's less demand for the white one and they can get more $$$ for the black model, why wouldn't they (want to) line their pockets (and sell a few white ones to boot)? I ordered one there last week with a $50 price reduction, 2 year extended service policy and a 32gb, class 10 EVO card for $399 with available free shipping. Now the $50's gone, no ESP and a cheaper card. Costco currently has the best deal going with $50 off, 16gb card and a case (NOTE: While supplies last) till 6/14/14.
