I just went to the Amazon website and they show the G11 price as $479.99
I also checked BHphotovideo and it shows the same price.
The price on the G11 has been fluctuating since it was announced.
I have seen it as low as $449.99 in the past.
Apparently there is a high demand for the G11 right now, so the merchants are keeping the price higher.
CNET listed the price for the Canon G11 from Amazon.com Marketplace as $459.95. When I click on that line item, I was told that to get the price I had to put the item in my Cart. I did so. The price came up as $479.99 from Crutchfield. Why the switch in price??
