The Fujifilm S3 price drop

Looks like something is happening with Fujifilm as there has been a rapid drop in price of the Fujifilm S3 Pro worldwide. Numerous stores have already dropping the prices. For example, www.expresscameras.com has the S3 Pro for $USD999; www.parkcameras.com has it for £699, £600 off the recommended retail price. Even in Germany, you can pick up the S3 Pro for €947, that’s around £633.

There could be many reasons for this:

This means one of several things:

(1) The Fujifilm S3 Pro is not selling well and they need to reduce excess stock.

(2) The Fujifilm S3 Pro is selling but they are reacting to increased competition from the Nikon D200 and the Canon 30D

(3) The Fuifilm S4 Pro may be announced soon.

I Hope it's the last option. Let’s wait and see.
