[Does anyone else have to drive far to get to the closest retail store??]

Since I'll be at mom and dad's for T'giving.....next town over for Wally World then closest real stores at least a half hour. BB & CC etc. an HOUR plus! My bro always goes for BF at ungodly hours; my husband and I may hit a few places in the afternoon.

 

I'm looking for a DSLR and a satellite radio rx'r....anyone hear of any deals yet??

[>>> Official Black Friday DIGITAL CAMERA Discussion Thread <<<]

Canon Powershot S5 is no longer on the Walmart website..... Anywhere else with a decent price?

 

 

You can get "SLR like" cameras, which have alot of the same capabilities as the higher priced digital SLRs, for the point & shoot price.

 

The Canon Powershot S5 IS has alot of power for a point and shoot, and is half the price ($400-$450 ish) of the Canon Rebels. At the same time, there are extra lenses and flashes that can be purchased to up the quality and power. The S5 is 8mp, 12x optical zoom, with image stabilization and face detection features, as well as in-camera-photo editing options.

 

If you're still deterred by the $450 price tag, look into the Powershot S3 IS. It's a slightly older model, 6mp, 12x optical zoom but still high power and SLR like, with the option for lenses. Megapixel isn't everything, after all. 6mp will print 11"x16" images without a problem. You can order one of these from walmart's website right now for $302.54 with free site-to-store shipping.

 

Flickr has a feature now that allows you to explore photos based on what type of camera took them. I find this is a fantastic way to see both amateur and professional quality photographs that have been taken with the camera I'm curious about.
