A1 Price Drop
For those who are interested in buying an A1, BhPhoto has dropped the price to 3699.95
|
Most of the online retailers recently drop their prices. Not just the Canon XH-A1, but also the Sony FX-7 and Sony V1U.
|
Sheesh- $300 drop within weeks!
|
That is good for people who are waiting but sucks for those who just bought it. I picked mine up for a little less through a contractor in a bulk order so there is still a little more room for those thing to drop yet :)
|
I paid $3799.95 for my Canon XH-A1 and actually thought the price was very good. Who knew the prices would drop so quickly.
|
why the pricedrop? is there a new model coming out?
|
There is no new model coming out. The Canon XH-A1 & XH-G1 was released just a couple of weeks ago.
|
There's *always* a new model coming out. What you buy off the shelf now was CAD in the machine two years ago.
|
well...
on the Sony FX7/V1u forum there seems to be quite a few people trying to decide between the V1u and the A1. Maybe Canon wants to help tip the scale now that the first V1s are about to ship.
|
I think it's just typical marketing where the early adopters and seekers pay the highest prices and soon thereafter when supplies are at normal levels- the manufacturers level out the prices after determining market value.
Nikon did this to much dismay with a digital SLR called the Nikon D2H, which were selling for $4999 only to drop down to $2999 only 5 weeks later, leaving many Nikon buyers very upset at the loss in value (resale as well.) Welcome to the electronic age! |

What's most amazing to me is that with US currency loosing its value thanks to ... [beep... censored...], the prices of imported goods still drop... We all should be happy, even those who bought XH A1 for initial price. Me one of them and me be happy :)
If gas prices followed electronics market, X-large SUVs would inherit the Earth until the end of it all... |
Ordered my XH-A1 from B&H on Sunday.
UPS delivered it on Tuesday. Read this thread Tuesday evening. Emailed B&H on Wednesday. Received an email reply Thursday: "No problem - we will refund you the $300". I like B&H. |
