I thought "street price" is by definition the price retailers are actually selling at, vs. what the manu MSRP says? In other words, the figure could never come from the manu?

Somebody who is not a sponsor has listed for $13,300 already. That's my definition of street price.

Many times what is called street price is actually MAP or minimum advertised price. The manufacturer will set this number and enforce it to all authorized resellers.

Dear Friends,

In the United States, due to a 2008 Supreme Court ruling, manufacturers can actual set Minimum Selling Prices.

Prior to this ruling manufactures could set Minimum Advertised Prices.

For many Sony cameras, there is a "Program Price", which is the minimum sale price for the product.

So, we have List or MSRP, MAP, and Minimum Sale Price.

Many Sony dealers sell at the Minimum Sale Price, so this quickly becomes the "Street Price".

Ok. Fair enough. But the camera is going to be selling for a lot closer to 13K, thankfully!

It's actually the difference between this camera being a contender or not, really. At 16K for me, it's too close to an Epic. At 13K, it's a definite possibility.

I don't know if this has been talked about elsewhere or not, but there will only be 10-12 dealers in the USA who will be authorized resellers for the F3. Just because a dealer currently sells the EX1R/3 doesn't mean they will be carrying the F3. It's not hard to guess who most of those resellers will be.

I saw for the B&H prices (who is a sponsor) for $13,300 so I'm guessing thats the real deal. Very nice price point.

Aha. When B&H first put up a couple days ago, it was at 16.

Apologies to Dan. When I first read his first post, all I saw was the 16K, didn't see he had 13.3 in there. So I was like "street!?"
