I noticed Staples $50 Gift Card offer. So I checked with Amazaon.com for its price and it shows $299.95.
I called Staples.com and asked for price match with Amazon.com. Here is how it goes...

$349.99 <- Staples.com price
$299.95 <- After price match with Amazon.com
$274.95 <- After $25 off $75 e-junkie coupon
$17.00 <- Tax
--------------------------------------------
$292.13 <- Total before GC rebate
$50 <- Staples $50 Gift card
--------------------------------------------
$242.00 <- Total after rebate

If you are lucky, you will get the exact price match. Else they will add 2 days shipping which would bring the price to $299.95 + $6 (shipping).
Good luck!!!!!

Since when does $taples PM Amzon? I thought they only did B&M stores.

Staples stores do PM only with B&M stores. But Staples.com phone executives, price match Amazon.com (directly ship & sold by Amazon).

Staples.com Price Match info page says they will match "anywhere". I suspect this does prob have certain restrictions.

Here is a Link to info on the $50 Staples GC offer.

If you are interested in using the video feature of this camera, look somewhere else. The optical zoom does not work while filming.

Still a good camera, particularly at that price point. It's zooming vid competitor is the Lumix zS3, although the zS3 lacks manual shot, and I believe, this Canon has RAW. Both have HDMI and both do 720p, although Pana has newer avchd lite codec. Also the Pana has Exposure Bracketing whereas the Canon does not.

I have the Lumix, but would have seriously considered this had I seen it.

Not true!

I have this camera and you can do optical zoom in video mode. I read the same incorrect comment from many sites and I just want to clarify the wrong info.

Great camera!

no, you can't. you can optical zoom, then record, but you can't change it while recording.

so, you place the order and then call to do price match? will the phone rep do the price match if I use the e-junkie coupon?
