Canon Powershot A570

[fjp999]

Looking for the best deal on the Canon Powershot A570.

 

I found it at 86th Street Photo (http://www.86photovideo.com/products.asp?product_id=17847&from_search=17847) for $139.

 

I also want to buy a set of rechargeable batteries and have been reading about the Sanyo Eneloop and Uniroos Hybrio.

 

Any info on these (reviews) or best place to buy.

 

Lastly looking for a good cordless phone with answer machine. No idea what to look for.

Want to spend under $50 if possible.

 

thanks,

frank

Amazon.com has it for $158.99 with free shipping.

Plus you get a 2gb memory card for free.

[i didn't notice free shipping at 86th Street Photo.]

 

Plus if amazon.com lowers their price on this they will give you a price adjustment for the difference if it is within 30 days of your purchase.

I also use these Sony Rechargeable batteries in my Canon S2 with no problems.

I have been researching this camera all week. I saw it at amazon.com for $153 free ship w/2G card and coupon for 12 month photo calendar. They are having a $50 rebate on select printers w/this camera.

 

I ended up buying the A560 (oops, didn't realize you asked about 570 until I typed all this; I'm leaving it in case it helps someone else).

I bought Canon A560 last night on amazon for $128.xx (free shipping) and it came with a rechargeable batteries set. I had seen it earlier this week for $127 w/nothing.

 

Ritzcamera.com has a deal on this camera; (it comes with a 4x6 printer and a coupon for $15) for $150; I think the sale ends 11/17/07. I couldn't find enough information about refills for the printer; it is for my mom, so decided to skip the printer.

 

other places to look might be JR.com or butterflyphoto.com They had the A560 for $126.50

 

I got lots of good reviews and information here: http://www.imaging-resource.com/

Yes. I decided to go with Amazon as it looks like 86th has a pretty bad rep - rip off scammers. I also picked up a VTech phone and that freebie 2GB card.

 

Fishboysmom, how does the amazon price difference thing work? Do I have to keep an eye on it and if it goes lower what do I do???

 

thanks all,

frank

 

p.s. The price went down to $154.74 overnite!

Yes just keep an eye on it. Then just email them and they should give you a price adjustment.

rule of thumb, don't buy electronics from online retailers in New York City.

Fishboysmom, thanks for the notice as today it went down a couple bucks. I emailed them so lets see if they change the price since it hasnt even shipped yet.

 

hpowers, yeah, that seems to be the case, especially ones that have multiple names. The strange thing is that BBB doesnt have any problems with this one???? Oops, Just checked again with BBB and there seem to be a number of 86th... some with street addys and some only internet. The one I was gonna order from has NO info... but if you do a complaint google search 86th comes up.
