(EXPIRED) Bargain alert: Sigma DP1 today only for $400

Update: The deal of the day has now expired, and the camera has returned to the price of $550+ at the well-known sellers at Amazon.

We interrupt our scheduled programming with this time-sensitive bargain alert! Thanks to our readers for the emails! Today only, Thursday, Amazon itself is offering the Sigma DP1 for $400 with free shipping as the gold box deal of the day. The price is good until 3am Friday (eastern time) unless the allocated supplies run out before then. This is sold and shipped by Amazon.com itself, not by any of the many 3rd party sellers that participate in their marketplace.

This is a good chance to "try" Foveon without having to invest in the Sigma-mount lens system. For more on this camera, be sure to check its list of reviews.
