Why is this $200 camera being sold for $1300.00??

It looks like they put an upgrade, the 50D, that is the higher price. The prices for the 20D are very inexpensive, under $500, and not much to choose from. I doubt you can get a brand new one any more.

It depends if you're buying it as a new retail camera (the current $1300 listing), or a used one that also might not have all the items included with a new purchase (instruction book, charger, etc; such as the current $109 listing). Or, you know, work. But most sellers should tell you the status of the item and what is included.

I am wondering the same thing. This camera has been for sale on amazon since the beginning of the month and there were 3 reviews as of last Thursday.

I completely agree with D.P., but one major point to consider when buying from the E-Bay is that a lot of those cameras with "nice price" are coming from grey market, which means they do not have a 1 year US Warranty, and some parts may differ from the US models(i.e. battery charger with cord vs directly plug to the wall US version)etc... Anyway if you decide to purchase from the E-Bay make sure to ask the seller if this is a US or a grey market version.Good Luck.

This is basically backordered everywhere. Check out all the buying options, there are still some for sale at $799, but get them quickly since they're in super high demand! I was able to get one from Camera Land here on Amazon for $799 just the other day, and I'm now waiting for it in the mail.

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...!

If it is selling for the price listed as $485.00, then that is reasonable. I didn't pay over $5OO.00 for mine new, and it came with case and a few accessories. I love my camera and have been extremely happy but it takes some patience learning all the settings. Good luck!

Hello, thanks for your questions. I can confirm that this camera is in new condition. The Product Page will state if the camera is available in used or refurbished condition. According to the information on the Product Page, the shipping cost is $19.95. Shipping will not be free unless otherwise stated on the Product Page. I hope this helps!

Yes it is, its an amazing deal considering the camera body alone is $1200 through canon!

I bought the camera for my wife. Everything we received was new. She absolutely loves the camera. As to why it's cheaper I'm not sure. One thing we've always done is to shop around different sources until we identify the best deal before we make our purchase.

I have the HS10 and am wondering the same thing. The 200EXR is down to $399. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have heard however that they don't make this camera anymore, is that true?

When i add the camcorder the price is 251$, is it a new product or used one.

It's come down about $50 in the last couple of months. However, I would not expect it to come down more. It might it, might not. But cameras usually do not fluctuate in price very much. $497 including card and bag is a good deal.

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.

I am not sure but sometimes demand raises the price on items ... I paid around $130 for mine on amazon but a local camera company store was $250-$300. I guess I bought it when the price was right.

I just purchased Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) using the warehouse deals. This camera is usually over $300 new, but it was listed in the warehouse deals in "like-new condition, may come repackaged" for $131.99. I jumped on it, and received the camera yesterday. All original accessories and everything was included, it even came in the original box. The camera was in perfect condition, in fact, it looks brand new. This is my first experience with the warehouse deals and it was an excellent one!

check out dpreview.com in the Nikon forum. Seems like all cameras thru #3114394 have the defect. I think this represents ~2.5 months' worth of sales, *plus* whatever is in the inventory pipeline.

I called the vendor. They gave me a warranty. It's through a third party. I love my camera and the bundle. I was checking about the "grey' market.
