dmmiller Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Just noticed that Staples will have a Cust. appreciation sale tomorrow onlyand the SLR cameras are included. Silver XTI is $724.98 (after rebate), not too sure if more will be off when sale starts."ALL SLR cameras on sale, Up to $150 off" http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/071118/merch015888/index3.html
scarface Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Well i think i found the best deal on the Canon SX100IS. At circuit city it is on sale for 257.99. I just found a coupon for 40 off 200. So if they accept the coupon "crosses fingers" that will bring it down to 217.99. Cheapest i found it by far on sites. Hope it works. :) I know the coupon says no reproduction/photocopies on it but most said that including the one i used at macys. Hopefully i get some kid who just scans it, or i'll just say i got it in an email. Don't know if they will say ok if i say i got it off ebay. Has anyone bought coupons off ebay before?
Kingrandom Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Can anybody figure out what is included in $657 price for the Canon Rebel 10.1 DSLR package/kit listed on Amazon. There is really no "What's included" area...I am seeing at Best Buy $699 for just the camera. Are there other online folks offering similar packages?

theresamax Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 What do you think of the staples Canon Rebel XT for 499, is that a good deal? I'm getting ready to buy it, but I don't know if that is a good deal?
debnmark Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 No, the Kodak is definitely not in the same quality class as the Canon.While maybe not in the same class, I would still think it's a good purchase... especially for someone just looking for a basic, easy to use camera.
theresamax Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 What to do? Should I get this Rebel xt for 499 or wait to see if Amazon or Buy has something better on BF? Anyone in the same delimma or have any suggestions?

theresamax Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Where did you get the rebate? I need one of those! I really want a XTI but can't afford it at that price, so I'm looking at the XT, but if I had a rebate.......

dmmiller Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Rebate for Rebel XTI (staples.https://www.stapleseasyrebates.com/promocenter/staples/promotion.html?sku=661409
dmmiller Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Staples said they WILL price match for that kit, so if for some reason it says on the rebate form same day purchase for camera and kit, they will over-ride it, and give it anyways.. just have to call. :) Hope that makes sense. So basically, you get the XTI and the kit for $607.48 (unless your tax is different(
kren Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 if this is your first digital SLR, the XT is fine. Don't obsess about finding a "better" one; I have the XT and I'm completely happy with it! (Got it 2 years ago for $999, so the price drop makes me bummed). I had old Canon equipment and my lenses work with the XT and that really helps. I'm not sure old Nikon lenses work with the new Nikons. The MP difference between the xt and the xti are not significant unless you're blowing up to poster size. And the bigger LCD screen is truly not an issue.
theresamax Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Thank you so much for that info, I had the XTi in my cart and did not feel comfortable spending that kind of money so I opted for the XT instead. The extra money is not worth my feeling nervous and guilty, and I think for taking family type pictures this camera will be sufficient!

mychza Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Hi, I'm looking for a camera that is not too huge, with a large zoom (10x +) and at least 7mp. Right now I'm looking at the canon sx100is, canon s5is, and the panasonic lumix dmc-tz3. I don't want to do a ton of adjusting, but i need to be able to shoot far and at times in low light.
theresamax Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 dnmiller, customer service told me that in order to get the free starter kit the camera would have to be purchased on the 23 or24, the same for the rebate the camera and printer would have to be purchased together, so you might want to check into that.

dmmiller Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks Theresmas.. I just got off the phone with CS too. She told me that they would PM it anyways. Guess i"ll have to fight that one, if they change they're minds. (or return it) thanks again. :)

dmmiller Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 What we needed to do, and It might be too late now, but get a chart of all the dig. cameras on sale BF - CM and everywhere in between and compare.. Starting with the lowest price on up to the highest.
huvason Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Looking for a camera that will take indoor/no flash picts of sporting events..... I'm hoing to spend $400-500 - anything in that price range? I'm pretty sure the Canon XTi will do that from what i've been reading here, but i'm hoping to get a GOOD camera a bit cheaper. THANKS :)
Bestdeal Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Maybe the best deal on a 7mp is at (of all places) Walgreens: Polaroid 7MP Digital Camera w/ Free Energizer Lithium Batteries for $69.99. Great reviews on Amazon. blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/Walgreens Walgreens is always a sleeper on Black Friday. No one in the store (they are waiting in line at BestBuy) and some great deals. Update:Just saw one on this site at Buy.com for $91.97 that looks pretty advanced by Polariod. Free shipping and no tax? buy.com/prod/Polaroid-7-0-MP-Digital-Camera-3-LCD-display-w-3x-Optical-Zoom-Image/q/loc/111/206505755.html
