I’m sorry to disappoint but when I got there, the cam was staring at me sitting comfortably at $2,000. Plenty of other indie movie blogs linked to that so probably that’s what caused the sudden disappearance.

No, it existed. Apple was just trying to get rid of its FX1′s, they only had 15 left though – and they got 200 orders placed. so only a few lucky ones (at least should have) got it. This was the big deal for us last Friday on slickdeals.net.

I placed my order and using my government discount, the total was $1916 + tax. But, it was cancelled the next day.

Looks like I’m stuck with my HC1. But I got a good deal on that. I got for $1100 open box at Best Buy almost two weeks ago. I’m thinking that will be sufficient for my stand up and the simple short film I want to do over the summer.

Um, that’s the new little consumercam for $2K, not the FX1.

Additionally, with a bit more digging.

Here is Googled chached page from March 26 showing a much higher price:

Same here. As usual, if it sounds too good to be true – it probably isn’t true. I’d order one now if Apple had the FX1 available for only $2,000.

I went to the Apple Store, and no luck. I even Googled it and came up with an Apple store link, also no joy. Any ideas?
