Amazon hoping there's some truth to the "There's a sucker born every minute".

Good news! Since it's in stock and sold and shipped by Amazon, BestBuy and others will meet the price. Anyone who wants one of these obviously special lenses can buy from several suppliers.

Price to value?

I had a good laugh. Hopefully, it is just a typo.

Obviously an error, but I thought the usual suspects in this forum would appreciate it.

That's tempting, but I think I'll pass, just this once.

Maybe if they can sell a few at that price they can keep DPReview on line for another month.

Yep, a typo.

They left out its the new Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 "L" IS USM version; comes with a Lens Hood and Lens Case.

It's the RF successor to the Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L is USM Lens.

Amazon's just trying to recoup all the money they lost on DPR.

Re: Price to value?

I've seen this kind of thing on other vendors'  sites as well. I guess they don't want to say "Out of stock", so they stick in a ridiculous price as a placeholder.

If the price is ever ridiculous in the other direction, then the vendor's got trouble.
