Does anyone know why all of a sudden the price on this camcorder jumped up by $ 200.00?

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.

I have a question about this also...Is this a one-time use camcorder or can it be re-used?I am thinking the latter, just by virrtue of the selling price...Many thanks in advance!

That happened to me also, except the price doubled...from $59 to $108! Sounds like "bait and switch" to me. Good reason to go back to the old system.

Amazon just raised the price about $80. Must be because it's out of stock. I don't think I'll buy it now.

I'm sorry, but I don't know why the price changed. I would have to check with tech support.

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.

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

No, The product like this gets improved every second. With $450 on your hand, you might find the better one. I am the one who wrote the review saying that this camcorder is the best (as of Oct, 2007). :) Now the AVCHD format gets the higher transfer rate (24Mbps) than before (15Mbps or so) and it really affects to the picture quality.

$1400 over list is profiteering from the current back-order situation. Given there is already a healthy markup on wholesale this camera is excessively priced - better wait for the $4999 list price that will be available soon, no doubt.

I'm not sure about price. Probably availability. These seem to be growing in availability. There is a flash. Top right of the camera.

The reason the price jumped is that Amazon doesn't have the camera in stock (hardly anyone does -- Panasonic seems to have badly underestimated demand), and the only third-party Amazon sellers who have it are charging these ridiculous gouging prices because they think there are people willing to pay that much to get it NOW as opposed to whenever Panasonic can manufacture enough to satisfy the demand. If I were to put in an order with Amazon today (buying from Amazon at $899), I doubt I'd receive it before January at this point. There's no way I would pay $1500 for a GF1, but the official $899 price seems fair for what it is (with a lens included).

Contour closed their HQ and stopped production in August. The future of the company is up in the air right now as Clarke Capital Partners just bought it and the plans to begin selling the cameras again is up in the air. My thought is that Amazon is trying to reduce their inventory. I would buy now, as if they re-open it will raise the price of this amazing Sports POV camera back to the retail $350.

I saw it online this morning at beachcamera & buydig for 1224.95, then later this afternoon its up to 1294.95. Seems like the price changes by the hour unfortunately.

Yeah, no idea why the price shot up to unreasonable. I'm guessing they stopped making them and Amazon's auto-price thingy went into overdrive when the stock went low. They used to be like 17$. And for 17$, it is a damn good mouse. I've bought two prior to the insane price jump.

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