Cameras & Camcorders

I just noticed that Canon T1i dSLR camera was added for pre-order today. The price for body only (by description) is set $1300! The MSRP is $799 for body only, $899 for body+base lens. Does Best Buy really expect anyone to buy it for $500 / 62% more than MSRP?

I trust thats a misprint. BH has it for $800 body and $900 kit.

Well, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I just purchased it from Adorama ($799 body only). A pity that Best Buy overpriced it like this.

SOME company failed to learn from the mistakes of a major rival that recently went out of business...

I own a Pentax K20D.  MSRP on release was $1299.  Street price was $100 less everywhere, except the now-out-of-business rival who wanted $1900.  After 4-6 months they finally put it "on sale" for MSRP, advertising that "you save" $600 - when in reality their price was now $200 above anyone else.

Wow, the price for pre-order is now $799 (MSRP). Thank you, Best Buy.

Hi RikoOnWeb,
 
After your initial post I forwarded your inquiry onto BestBuy.com to have them look into this, and thanks to you making us aware of this price misprint BestBuy.com changed the price to pre-order this camera to the correct amount.
