Price changes? I looked at this camera this morning, and Amazon was selling it for $399. After doing research and thinking about it, I went to put it in my cart. Now it's up to $442? Even though the MSRP is $399? Unless this comes down, I'll be looking elsewhere to buy. Hope nobody got sucked into buying at the inflated price. Price changes?

Is $399 the best price for the S95 or will it go lower in the next few weeks?

Hold out for a while. It was listed at $367 on here not that long ago. This is Amazon price gouging.

Shortages due to the Japanese earthquake are causing huge issues. I'm in Phoenix, AZ and one of the oldest and best Camera shops in the valley is closing up shop because they can't get enough stock in to sell to make their payroll.Demand is high, supply is low, prices go up. Econ 101...

Is there any estimate on how long it'll take for the prices to drop back down to normal?

Where are Panasonics made? I don't see the same price jump with them. I am considering the LX5

I was going to buy this one too, but if the price stays over $400, I'll get the Olympus XZ-1. The main benefit of the S95 for me is price!

Bought mine Thursday night on Amazon for $399 (ships directly from Amazon.com) - arrives tomorrow... Locally (Los Angeles) I found it for $399 in store, but would have to pay tax...

Same thing with me. I put it in my cart earlier today at $399 from Amazon.com. Now my cart is saying that Amazon doesn't carry this, and if i still want it, it will be fulfilled by another vendor for $429. It feels like some shady maneuvering going on here.

I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out. I had decided to wait a few more days but went to look at it again one more time on the website just after midnight pacific time and noticed the price had just jumped from 1999 to 2464. Luckily the other merchants that sell through amazon had not raised their prices yet and i was still able to get it for 1999. Woke up the next morning and almost cancelled my order thinking amazon lowered the price again due to the misleading email that i received about 6 in the morning. Good thing i stayed up late that night. I was contemplating picking up this tv for a few days. I was looking at it the night before the coupon came out.

At B&H;: When you add it to your cart it's 299.99. I just checked - it's still valid, so not a weekend thing.I'm still waiting to see whether Amazon will sell it for a little less.

Amazon doesn't price match. Put it in your cart and check it daily. the price will go down to $55 or so.

I can't tell you why exactly, but it seems that it has something to do with the fact that its being phased out. For example, I don't think Amazon carries it anymore. In Sept. 2007, just when the G9 was coming out, Amazon was selling the G7 for about $479. But its original list price (650?)was much higher than the original list price of the G9 (499). As T. Rose said, you'll see that some marketplace sellers are offering it for around $460 (if you buy from them, you just need to be certain that they are "authorized canon dealers" for warranty purposes), but I think some "featured sellers" throw out a ridiculous price trying to appeal psychologically to the idea that the item is being phased out, now rare, and thus worth more. By the way, if you're in the market, I would still go for the G9 even if you find a G7 for cheaper price. I did a lot of comparative review reading and ended up getting the G9 and I have been very pleased with it. Check out the 1st review on the G9 page (by RonAnnArbor) for an informative comparison of the two.

Oh, it just dawned on me, the price of the 11-16 here on Amazon is inflated. Go to Amazon seller directly at http://www.adorama.com/TN1116EOS.html ($599), I ordered mine there, even though it showed out of stock, it still shipped within a week. I can't say you'll have same results, but, if you aren't in a big hurry that is the way to go.

Matt, the price creep is really annoying! I was about to buy this thing last week for $2199, but wanted to wait till I got home because I had $75 worth of Amazon credits that I wanted to apply. By the time I got home, the price has risen by $85!!! So unfuriating! Then it dropped another $15. I felt like I was watching the stock market! Feeling like a sucker, I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased the TV for $2269. I'm glad I didn't wait until today because the price increased another $50! I don't know why they do this, but it makes me very uncomfortable as a customer. Will the price drop again by tonight? I feel like I'm a rat in a market-testing experiment. I wonder whether all of Amazon's customers see the same price or do some customers get higher prices depending on how often they express interest in a product by re-visiting the same page? I remember a few years ago Amazon gave slightly different pricing info to people who had an item saved to their wish lists.

Not sure what Amazon's price was before with freebies, but I gather its price (compared with others on the Amazon site) reflects that the freebies aren't really free. On the 24th Sony Style store was selling it in store for 2200 with free financing options. Not sure about today.

Same thing happened to me this week. On Tuesday I put it in my cart at $349.00. On Wednesday I went to purchase and the price was $399.00. I didn't know what to do so I decided to wait. On Thursday I checked and the price was $349.00 again, so I jumped on it. I would suggest waiting, however I have no idea why the price fluctuates so much. Good luck!

It's the same here now. What happens occasionally, depending on when you look, is Amazon is out of stock and some of the third party sites in the Amazon marketplace will sell above MSRP, sometimes far above.

There's NO WAY a Sony HDR-XR200V could be sold for $135. If that's what it said, then it was an operator mistake, pure and simple, and I would've cancelled the order as well. Mistakes do happen (both Walmart and Staples released typos on online ads this past Christmas, and informed their customers, who were ordering the incredibly-priced electronics, that refunds would be given, and the items could not be purchased at those prices. Sorry if you don't agree... but nobody's perfect. You won't get a $600 discount on this camera... sorry. (BTW - I just bought this camera at B&H for around $598... it's currently $649.. STILL cheaper than Amazon. go there instead..)

I found the price change upsetting, too. But since the item was already in my cart I learned that it was because the stock was depleted and the provider didn't have anymore at the lower price. - My first impulse was to blame Amazon but they proved me wrong. It apparently is not their fault.

I notice that Amazon has two vendors selling the Mark IV for $6600. I am a big Amazon Fan however I believe they do themselves a disservice by listing Scalpers (neither of which I've ever heard of) selling the product at $1600. above suggested retail. Three months from now they'll be selling for $200.00 below suggested retail. In any event I am patiently waiting for my number to come up. Sure would like to hear from others on the "Wait" list and those with recent arrivals.

I was gonna buy one of these today and they raised the price by $350?! WT_?!Yesterday I noticed that it was being shipped from TigerDirect and today it's from Amazon. Are they gonna switch the price again?

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.

hi katie,the price has already droped in some places.u have to decide if the pictures u will miss waiting for a price drop is worth it.as i person that sold cameras for 18 years,the lowest price will be in feb.2010.watch everyones ads.also look for floor models and cameras that have been returned.for spouse or economic reasons.they would have regular warranty from nikon.if not do not buy.
