Why do you keep raising and lowering the price of the T1000?

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?

Yes the price should be lower. I believe the price is staying up because it was recently top rating at Consumer Reports.

The XT-2 is already being sold. However as usual there is a conspiracy to keep you specifically excluded from the potential buyer pool.

dang-I ALMOST grabbed this before Christmas when it was $1599.--then it started going up right after Christmas and then started going down again-of course I thought it would keep going down and now it is rising again--and quickly too. I don't understand it, esp. when the newer Samsungs have been out for awhile, but I guess I'm on the waiting list again!Marty

It seems illogical I know, but I have seen this in camera pricing here many times before: when a new model comes out, the older model often INCREASES in price even if the new model is improved. My guess is that there's some policy of increasing price when existing stock run low, which will naturally occur when an old model is discontinued. Doesn't make a lot of sense in a case like this but I can't think of any other reason for it. As for which you should buy, the newer S8200 has a wider zoom ratio than the S8100 (25-300mm equiv. instead of 30-300mm), which may or may not be good news. The wider angle at the short end is certainly useful, but stretching the zoom ratio of a particular lens design sometimes results in some deterioration of performance. Not having the S8200 I don't know if that's true in this case. I have the S8100 and it is super sharp over the entire zoom range -- I think a bit sharper than my S9100, which has a 25-450mm (equiv.) lens. Also, the S8200 has a 16-megapixel sensor as opposed to the 12-megapixel sensor of the S8100 and S9100. That will be seen as an "improvement" by people who attach great importance to megapixel count; personally I do not see it that way and am really annoyed by this silly megapixel race, which I thought was over with. (Nikon and Canon have both LOWERED the megapixel count of some of their high-end compact cameras, with resulting improvement in picture quality.) I dislike the trend to pixel cramming in sensors really too small to make proper use of such megapixel count. In DSLRs it's different -- their much larger sensors can really use all those pixels -- but these tiny-sensor cameras cannot. It's mostly if not entirely marketing -- camera makers know most consumers will think the more megapixels the better the sharpness, so this supposed "improvement" will sell more cameras. So personally I prefer the older S8100, but again, that is not based on any personal experience with the newer model.

Probably because whoever you bought it from was tired of losing money and going out of business. A lot of "sellers" on Amazon think that a cheaper price will bring them more business and eventually go broke.

I have no idea--it must be a different seller? I am not sure how this works, so can't tell you--I have always just gone with the lower price--sorry I am no help!

The 6000 isn't made anymore. The elevated price is due to the fact that there is a limited supply. The most notable difference is that the 6000 has dedicated function keys (see the top row), while the T9T-00001 requires you to hold the Fn key to "activate" the function keys. That's a deal breaker for some as explained in the reviews below.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

Yes, the 52w3000 was at $2499 just a few weeks ago. Suddenly the price jumped to $2608, now I am waiting for the price to drop again...

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part.I guess January has become gouge month or something.

I have no idea since I didn't purchase that model. Generally paying substantially more for the new model of anything is not justified when only incremental changes have been made. It all comes down to research and a value decision.

I have been following this item and pricing too. I was wondering what caused the price to just double. It must be an error.

The price has jumped up. When I got mine they ere $40 for the two. May be that when I listed the 80 uses for it they decided they were not getting enough for it. LOL

It went back down to 325 about a week ago, then to 384 a couple days ago and now sitting under 400. These use to sell for under 200 several YEARS ago. Technology prices usually falls over time. This seems to be an exception.

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.
