Is this a good camera deal (canon A520 from dell, 167 shipped)

[EagleEye]

Read a review on it, and it sounded like an execellent camera for the price. With a 25% off coupon, and 20$ E&A coupon, it comes out to 166.75 with free shipping.

 

Also, could someone point me out to a cheap sd card, probably 512 mb (that's what this camera takes, right?). I know dell has a 25% off digital media coupon right now, but I don't know what the best is right now. Thanks for your help!

The 520 is an excellent camera...and for $166 its a steal.

yeah, seemed like a good price, cheapest anywhere else was over 200 + s/h.

 

In a review I read, it said it takes SD/MMC cards. Is that just normal sd cards? And are there only good deals on them right now?

[Mike]

Yep, it just takes normal SD cards. You can get the highspeed ones to lessen the delay, but regular ones are just fine.

Um, for deals...right now you can get the 1GB sandisk SD card for $42 after rebate with free shipping. This will hold just over 500 photos at highest res on the 520.

 

edit: Thats from buy.com btw

Thanks for all the help! I think I will order the camera now, and then the sd card seperately later tonight. Thanks again.

Yes that is a great digicam and an incredible price, order now before the coupon expires :)

 

Special thanks to CheapArse for being helpful as usual.

Just ordered, and if anyone else wants this camera, the coupons were:

Damn you, now I want this camera.

 

So cheap.

If you don't need the 1gb, you can pick up the Kingston 512mb for $25 after rebate from dell home. You're also going to want to find a good deal on some rechargeable batteries. I would recommend these:

They are very hard to beat for $13. You might even want to pick up 2 at that price if you can find 2 at your local CC.

I was comparing my Canon A40 vs A520.

 

The one thing I really like about the A520 is it requires only 2 AA batteries instead of 4.

 

$167 is such a great deal.

[Mike]

Yea but 25% off is dead now, so I hope you ordered Ross.

Any more codes as I need one really really bad!! Thanks!
