I own this camera and love it. Would like to buy one for my granddaughter. Why are there no new ones for sale on Amazon. Any suggestions.

Now that I upgraded to GH4 I don't think I will be needing this camera. You are welcome to have it if you like.

I do not think they make this model any more. I also love this camera but looks like the FZ200 is also a great model and the price price has dropped almost three hundred dollars. I am thinking of buying it, it is suppose to be so much better in low lite.

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.

you can't find this camera anywhere. My mom bought it from amazon before thanksgiving and they said they'd ship in december. At the last minute they cancelleed our order. Nice, huh? They should have let us know they couldn't get it in a MONTH ago when I was still able to find it in the stores. Now my kids aren't going to get it at all.

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

I have this camera ( one of the best I had) and used this and Sony memory stick pro duo. Can't buy them in stores anymore so buy them online. I keep the pics on them and store them rather than load on computer and erase. I have put them in computer and then can't find them!

Bite the bullet and just get it if you can find one for sale right now. I pre-ordered mine on Feb 8, and still no ship date from Amazon. :-( From experience, the price of a particular camera model will remain the same until the next new model becomes available.

It's definitely a great camera and I too would replace it with the same. (I'm actually on my 3rd one - the last two purchased very used)Does anyone have a suggestions for the natural progression to the line?

I've been reading that the mom&pop; camera shops have them in stock. This is BS that Amazon is claiming that these lenses have not been released yet.

I'm talking about the Gh2 also. I've had mine since Christmas. Amazon has had them off & on for a while now. It's a great camera. Wish I could figure out how to use everything on it. I guess in time:-)

I've been wondering the same thing. I want to buy this camera as a Valentines gift, but there's no releawe date!

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...!

Actually, I bought the wrong type of film when I purchased the camera for my 8-year old niece. It appears that what's available has expired, but I'm going to purchase one anyone if I'm unsuccessful finding it at a local camera shop.

Sorry. I wish that I did. I love this camera, unfortunately when I went to purchase another I found out that Cisco discontinued Flip Cameras. There probably ain't no place to get parts anymore.

I really want this camera- the manual controls using the touchscreen look great. Has anyone ordered from Amazon and gotten it already? It says it'll ship in "1-2 months," but if it's already out... ?

Not sure what you mean. The one that I bought on Amazon was basically new (the packaging had been opened, but the camera itself wasn't used). You would need to contact the seller DIRECTLY to find out if the camera is new, used, refurbished, open box, etc.

Canon discontinued this camera? I thought it came out last year and was the top camera to buy in its category? I am personally very dissapointed in the quality of the video and regret buying this camera.
