I bought the C910 for $49.98 + tax at Sam's Club today. Of course, as usual for Sam's, when it's gone from a store, it's gone for good. The 9000 at Sam's was a little higher priced than today's Amazon price for the 9000.

For those of you tracking this thread for price, Amazon is selling it at $49.78 with free shipping. I just bought one today.

hey Lisa. I just pre-ordered this camera, as the specs are too awesome to resist, and Amazon's return policy is stellar, so no worries. Then I found an actual user review of the camera, believe it or not, which says to me that it should be out soon. Here's the link, and drool to your heart's content: http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/showcase/review/finepix-hs20exr/hands-on-a-fuji-hs20Notice no purple fringing anywhere to be found, at least as far as I could tell, which is a VERY impressive feat for a camera with this kind of zoom. Also, the High Dynamic Range option seems stellar, as well as the Pro Focus Mode. Check out the review. It made me feel very good about my early purchase. Now I can't wait to get the camera! hey Lisa. I just pre-ordered this camera, as the specs are too awesome to resist, and Amazon's return policy is stellar, so no worries.

We bought one today 1/23/2011 at Fry's Electronics in Oxnard, CAI've had no experience with netbooks so can't compare. However it is equipped sufficiently to fill our needs. We mostly wanted a decent webcam for Skype video calls. It has a 1.3Mp which looks great. The keys are flat so it will take some time to get used to it. The mouse pad works well and even though the mouse buttons are one big button it isn't bad, besides we bought a wireless mouse so we don't care about the pad too much. The screen is very bright, and the volume could be better. It seems like a nice computer. The top is a fingerprint magnet; I wonder why PC manufacturers insist on a shiny surface?

The price now is still set fairly high but keep in mind that amazon does like to set prices low for a day or two and then raise them on the fly. Once these sell out which they will the price will probably go up once this happens, it wont be the MSRP price but I beleive it will be a tad bit higher than what it is now. I just bought mine for $2849 I beleive it will be superior to the 55C7000 which had some back lighting issues (which everyone already knows about) so I would encourage those on the fence to go ahead and grab one, because this price is "reasonable" for this kinda Tv.

Thank you Stephen,I just tried to buy the SX210is from amazon but was told they won't ship it to Brunei where I am at the moment - wierd, they sent me a dive computer a few months back.Does any one know a camera whole saler with similar prices that ship overseas?Anyway, I think I will buy the SX210is somehow anyway, I think it sounds like a great little camera to take on holidays and snap family pics/movies.For diving I am thinking I might use and old canon A520 that I have - I'll just have to chase up the housing for it, until I get decent at it then I'll sink more money into a good dive camera.

It's not going to drop in price at all within 2-6 months. Look at other similar cameras, the NEX-7 for example, it hasn't dropped in price. The E-P3 also took a while to drop $100 on Amazon, and has not dropped in price at most local retail stores. In fact, many people are willing to pay more than the retail value for the OM-D right now, especially the silver model.

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

FYI - I talked to Customer Service and found that Amazon received a shipment in mid-December. It's hard to say which type that would have been, as I haven't seen anything from Logitech that says exactly when they cut over to BCD 9 units. Amazon ships units from multiple locations, and each of them do not necessarily ship older units first (ie, they are not FIFO), so there's no way to predict which type of unit one would get if an order were placed today. Also, Amazon cannot open boxes to check the BCD for us, apparently due to agreements they have with their suppliers. So unfortunately it seems the only way to improve the probability of receiving a newer unit (from Amazon) is the passage of time - a month or two was suggested, but there are no guarantees. I assume (but have not confirmed) that Logitech's on-line store would be shipping BCD 9's now - if you don't mind paying list price, of course.

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.

I received mine over the weekend from Amazon, but have done similar research as you did for over a week. I've noticed the same thing as you do on the price increase. IMO I chaulk it up to supply and demand. I shopped around and found the prices to be generally very close amongst online stores, and no more $435's available except at one reputable NY store selling it at $439 just the other day, and is back-ordered. The thing is that with Amazon there aren't even other vendors selling this camera at any price, so it's completely up to Amazon to charge what it thinks is appropriate. Even the used prices (which are mostly by Amazon in this case) have risen by a large margin. However, the camera is fantastic! So it's still a value proposition in my case. Since I sold my M43 gear, this $500 price tag is downright low. Look at it another way, there are no M43 or DSLRs (bodies only) that shoot at 5.5 FPS with autofocus or 12 without that come in at less than a grand. The lens range and aperture are in the same situation, there is nothing in the inter-changeable lens world that come close without costing multiples of this FZ150. Seriously, an Olympus 28-200'ish mm equivalent M43 lens runs at $450; a Nikon 18-200 VR for APS-C sensor is at approx $900; a Nikon 28-300 VR for full frame is about $1k (while non of these open to f 2.8). True, those cameras have larger sensors and the lenses are quality stuff and can do different things (we're not totally comparing apples to apples here), but if this camera is right for you for what you do as it does in my case for what I intend it to do, which is for travel (light) and take photos of my son at baseball games, the price is a steal. Frankly this camera out guns my DSLR by a large margin and does 1080P video with fast accurate auto focus at 60p :) I cannot do manual video focus of sports - at any price! On the other hand, other options may be to wait and see, or buy used. I checked out eBay, no luck there (but Amazon pricing staff already know that).

I even signed up for the Amazon store card so that I could get the not finance charge for 18 months. If I do get the set from Frys.com or Abes then I going to have to deal with the hassle of closing out the Amazon card too.I have bought a few cameras from Abes of maine. They did fine by me in the past. I'll have to check it out.Its funny they keep raising the price of the 46 and lowering the price of the 52inch. The 52 inch only by a $1 at a time though.Maybe they want to sell more 52s?

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help. I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago.

Be careful Kenneth. I think Logitech is going under. I have been trying to order new cameras and parts for a long time. I can't get them.

Well, I missed the boat on Amazon's initial price of $2849. I'm looking to be just under $3K for the TV, Blu-Ray, and Starter Kit, if possible. US Appliance is now offering a $400 coupon. The total is now $3078, after the $400 coupon and the $30 Blu-Ray coupon. I called to verify. The guy I spoke to seemed very nice and assured me that they are reputable, however, I have read some pretty mediocre reviews about them, so I've decided to wait it out a bit more, until Amazon drops their prices again.

I just checked on Amazon again. They are listing it for $1139 once you have put it in the "cart" and are at check-out. They are currently out of stock, but you can pre-order at this price. I purchased a Samsung PN50B650 couple of months ago and could not be happier with it. I paid $979.98 from V a n n s . c o m, but they no longer have it at that price. I want to buy another one for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary present; I sure hope the price comes down again by then.

Amazon moves prices often. Just a luck of the draw thing. It sucks that amazon got rid of its 30 day pricematch guarantee. Your only chance is that the camera is out of stock for a couple of weeks. Amazon will give you the price difference if the item hasnt shipped, so I would order it and then you would have about 4 weeks for it to drop again(just have to check daily) and let amazon know.
