The S80 comes with a useless 32MB SD card, and of course 1 rechargeable battery + usb cable.

I bought S80 from beachcamera a month back. Those who have to pay Tax at Dell or might have missed this deal can look there (or buydig) .. the price should be around 400 + you can get 50-80 combo rebate for a canon printer.

I fell in love with the camera just by reading the reviews and features. The 28mm zoom feature is great which lets you get so much more in your picture. No more crouching into corners to avoid missing people in indoor pics. Once I got it .. I'm happy but not super excited. Some things do not match the high price tag of the camera eg. the low resolution grainy LCD. Also, atleast the 4x6 prints are not too much better compared to my old 2.1MP sony. That might be probably I've yet to read the manual and learn how to take professional snaps .. or might just be the camera!

If you don't have access to Costco, or know that you will keep and use this camera.. I highly recommend Beach Camera/Buy Dig. The silver body kit is only $756 now with tax only in NJ.($5 more for the black body)

This is the best deal out there right now, and the most straight forward. I'm sure if it was posted as a "Hot Deal" it would only get red because it doesnt involve buying coupons off of eBay, CashBack, DPA/financing discounts, digital coupons, rebates, price mistakes...etc. AND for most people, except the unlucky residents of NJ, it doesnt involve tax. When you add an average 8 percent tax to any Dell, Staples, OD, etc deals under $700, then they aren't so hot compared to this.

I bought mine from them last fall and it arrived next day, even tho I only paid for the $5 Fed Ex Home shipping option (I am in NYC). All the Dell deals were killed with tax for me.

I think the Spring Canon rebates start April 15 tho, so you could try your luck then.

You might want to check out Circuit City this week as well. You can pick up the kit for ~$728 with a 10% coupon. Or if you want the body only you can pick it up for around ~$647.

Yeah.. where ?

Oh dahm!!!!! You HAD to go and show me this????? I spent weeks trying to decide on what new camera to get and was soooo set on the brand new Casio-Z600. Now I see this and it's decision time all over again! (Though I am still eaning toward the Z600 with larger screen and 550 shot battery life!)

Hmm...the SD630 has a 3.0 inch screen!! Sweet! Now...why wound Canon put out two cameras...new....but almost identical??? Both 6 megapixels....one has 4X zoom vs 3X...but other than that and screen size....whats the difference?

Somebody heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp me!

I'm decide betting getting the Canon SD450 (5 megapixle $220 at Dell), Casio Exilim S500 (5 megapixle $205 at Dell) and Casio Exilim S600 (6 megapixle $284 at Buy.com).

I'm going to tour China this summer, and I need a ultra portable camera for the trip for typical point and shoot use (nothing fancy). Could someone please give me some advice for which one to choose?

My priority in term of importance is:

(1) Portability (size)
(2) picture quality
(3) Price
(4) battery life
(5) reliability/build quality

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"We're sorry, the coupon code you have entered has already expired or has reached the maximum redemption limit."

when NOT going through FatCash, the coupon works..

WTF?

Looks like Dell "may" be considering the FW FatCash as a separate non-stackable discount !!

That would stink.

Hi,

I think SD700 uses SD550 chassis but 1/2.5" sensor rather than 1/1.8"
