I saw that Amin, but it seems to be only the silver one that's that cheap. This has led to speculation that Nikon really is killing this camera rather than getting ready to release an upgrade. I don't want to buy a backup if there's a chance a new one is coming - I'd like to see what the upgrade has to offer and then either eventually buy one of those or THEN buy a backup of the first one cheap. I guess I'll wait and see if anything is announced by next Spring. If not, I'm sure I'll still be able to find a backup Coolpix A for even less on ebay or something. But at $399, it's tough to resist just grabbing one now.
It's really a sweet little camera... If I didn't already have one, I'd probably buy one now. OTOH, if I didn't already have one it would probably be because I didn't have any desire for one, so I might not buy it at this price either. In any case, I don't have any regrets of having bought it at full price nearly two years ago now. I figure I've paid about $35-30 per month rental for the many months I've been able to shoot with it, and that seems reasonable to me for a camera I've gotten this much use out of.
