View Full Version : Sony HDR-FX1 price at $1999 USD??? Brent Marks November 7th, 2006, 01:06 AM Sony HDR-FX1 price at $1999 USD??? Hey everyone... A while back... SonyStyle.com had the HDR-FX1 for $1999. Is there anyone out there offering a good deal like this? THANKS! Paul Cypert November 7th, 2006, 05:14 AM I only remember the 1 Chip Cmos HD Sony cam being 2K and that was after rebate Paul Brent Marks November 7th, 2006, 05:31 AM I know... its wild... they had the full US Model of the hdr-fc1 for $1999 I should have bought 2 at that price thanks Mathieu Ghekiere November 7th, 2006, 12:51 PM Are you sure it's a legit shop? Most ask little money for the camera and then overprice the accesoires which normally come standard with the camera... Beware for that! Do a search on resellerratings before you buy. Dan Robinson November 7th, 2006, 01:45 PM $1999 is a common price for the FX1 at the 'bait and switch' scam shops.

Graham November 7th, 2006, 07:31 PM Brent, I heard about a mistake on Sony's website that had it listed for $1999 earlier this year... a few people actually tried to purchase it, but of course it was an obvious error and Sony had to call the people and tell them the price was wrong. I don't believe it was intentional, but just a simple mistake. Nobody in their right mind (that's legit) would sell you a camera that sells for $3200 for that price. You gotta be realistic! When I first got into video and bought my first prosumer cam, the VX2100, I got it from a "bait-and-switch" place for $1399 when B&H was selling it for $2300. Of course, the next day I had to cancel the order because a jerk from that online store called and told me that it was a bare-bones camera (without a LCD screen!) and that to get the full package I would have to pay an extra $1100 or some crap. So, after I cancelled the order, I got my first camera from B&H and have been a loyal customer since. Boyd Ostroff November 8th, 2006, 07:18 AM it was at SonyStyle.com Are you absolutely sure about this? I suspect you're thinking of the Apple Store and not SonyStyle. They advertisted the FX1 for that price, and evidently some people actually got them. But it was obviously a mistake which was quickly corrected: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=66318 http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=64050 John M. Graham November 8th, 2006, 12:16 PM I stand corrected, I got the two stores confused. You're right. But, I don't believe Sony will sell you an FX1 for $1999, especially when their vendors are selling them for $3200... |
