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!

I only remember the 1 Chip Cmos HD Sony cam being 2K and that was after rebate

Paul

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

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.

$1999 is a common price for the FX1 at the 'bait and switch' scam shops.

are u reading the post at all guys?

lol


it was at SonyStyle.com

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.

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:

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...
