Guest Frieked Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Well, since the amazon digicam price mistakes got canceled I'm back to looking for a new digital camera to replace my old one that broke. I'm looking for Brand name, non-refurb, 3MP minimum, 3X minimum optical zoom, preferably using SD for memory since I already have a couple of those cards. Dell has some nice coupon codes but I feel I can do better than that. Any help is appreciated. Oh, and I'm looking to spend < $150 What's the best you think I can get?
mrn8 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Go to Dell Home, and search for A510. Add the Canon A510 to your cart, and use the Dell E&A $20 off $150 or more coupon. This gets the camera down to $149.10. It is absolutely the best camera you can get in that price range.
RossMAN Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I agree with Nate, the Canon PowerShot A510 is a great digicam. Here is a review with specs and sample pictures:http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/a510.html

mrn8 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Save an additional 10% if you pay with Dell DPA using coupon code 4J$PH2DZ8SZ12F. Honestly, if you want a camera that will last a long time, go with the Canon. Both my dad and grandpa went with Kodaks in the past year, and they loved them. They don't age well, though, and they are already starting to have quality issues with their images.
jamesave Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Canon A520 is around $166 @ dell with the coupons.
Guest Frieked Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll probably go with the A510 unless something better and/or cheaper comes along during this still ongoing woot-off!
Guest Frieked Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Ok, now I gotta revise my question... via mypoints I'm getting $75 worth of gift cards for circuit shitty...so that'll increase the amount I'm willing to spend. Would your suggestions change any on cameras from $150-$225ish? Note: cameras must be sold by circuit city.
mrn8 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Why not buy the A510 from Dell, and use the CC gift cards for a case, extra memory, and rechargeable batteries? I just say that, because CC is overpriced, usually, on digital cameras. However, these are all good pick, just look up the reviews on them and see which have features that you like the best. Canon A510, Canon A520 (was in your price range a couple of weeks ago, I'm sure it will get there again), Sony DSC-S60, Nikon Coolpix 4600.
RossMAN Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 mrn8 has a great idea. The Dell A510 or A520 is a GREAT deal through Dell.com Use your CC $75 to buy extra memory and accessories.
Mike Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 I agree with whats been said so far. In that price range, Id get the A510. This week, CC has the Sandisk Ultra II 512mb on sale for $40 after rebate. I would also pick up some rechargeable batteries for the Canon @ CC since you don't want to have to keep buying batteries.
mrn8 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Monster Charger and Batteries at Circuit City Circuit City currently is running a really good deal on a charger with 4AA batteries. $14.99 for the set is hard to beat.

I've got the case and rechargable batteries already from my last camera, the nice radio shack ones that charge in 15 minutes (and I never thought I could love a battery, these are great) I could use some more memory though, my largest sd card is only 128 mb which fills up rather quickly at highest quality setting. I've got a few weeks before the gift cards arrive, I think I'll use that time to see what kind of deals come up on those cameras elsewhere.
