Re: Better price WB850f

I wasn't speaking to you directly, implying that you would buy, or even buy at that price.

In the case of the 750 and 700, they only appeared in Germany as hugely marked down cameras, starting in the 129 euro range for the 750 and 109 for the 700. They were always in the metal clearance bins at the end of aisles at the big box stores when they were finally physically released. So that's significantly more than the number you made up in savings.

You guys are nuts if you're willing to pay full price for it.

I was only answering the o.p.'s question although I'm interested as I need a replacement for my old Olympus superzoom.

For anything relatively expensive like the NX20, there's no way I'd pay the initial asking price which is always the rrp (or msrp). I'm happy to wait a few months for the street price to be established and save a few hundred dollars. However, for an item in the $300 price range, it is not worth waiting around for months to save maybe $50 or $100. By then, there'll be a new model out. If you keep waiting, you never buy anything.
