A recent post from Greg indicates that he is still getting emails from people asking to buy the Lofi-Fisheye camera - they obviously misunderstood the way the camera is being produced - in a batch of 1,000 cameras for which the parts order is no doubt already in... so there will be no more.
Incidentally, many cameras (and other modern electronics items) are also produced in batches - the manufacturer predicts how many they are going to sell, orders the parts, and has the batch made, then tries to sell them. If they sell well, there's a redesign exercise to see if the parts are still available or alternatives can be sourced cheaper, and a new batch - probably of a slightly improved model - is made.
If you missed out you might still have the opportunity to buy one of Greg's cameras or a lookalike...
I'm guessing that a number of people who bought two cameras in the final phase of camera availability actually only wanted one, and might be selling off the spare on eBay or wherever... so, shortly after the camera is released you could see some going for more than the £65 depending on demand. As always, take care that the seller really has a camera and isn't trying to get your money for nothing...
And then, cynic that I am, I suspect that the Taiwanese buyer of 50 cameras is actually planning to reverse engineer the device and then start to manufacture a lookalike - so 3 to 6 months after the release I'm expecting to see a very similar camera and it will probably be made in larger numbers, marketed worldwide and available cheaper - there's a risk it won't be as good - and a slight chance it could be better...
But, will they have missed the boat - is the time for this camera now and will Lofi-Fisheye shots be fashionable for just a short time, or will it be popular for longer? Who can tell...
