That seems to be "street price." List price is $449. Check out this link:

There's a couple of places with a $350-range price. Shipping is twenty bucks for UPS ground. If the price you found was local, you might want to consider paying the extra just so you have a desk to go pound on if anything goes wrong.

check this camera out..[Minolta - Dimage Z1 Digital Camera ] it's the same price and according to a ritz associate..it has the best white balance of any digital they sell. I played with one Saturday..I worked for Ritz years ago..I would pay the extra to buy from them and also check out their ESP..it is well worth the price....I had a customer that ran over his brand new 500 dollar camera with his pick up truck...he was so upset,,I told him to calm down and bring the pieces in ..along with his copy of the esp...because he paid for this extra protection, he walked out of the store with a brand new camera..unless they've changed the policy it covers damage of any kind,,except for nuclear war, fire, and brackish water....they might have added acts of terrorism now.....if you wnat some extra advice on the ESP,,PM me...
