In addition to everything that has been mentioned already (be sure to check beyond the first page for more deals), we have some new deals on the radar!
A way to check snapshots of previous prices
One good place to check for snap-shots of price history is our top selling camera charts. While it wasn't intended as a price database, it has been tracking snapshots of prices since March 2008.
Who's praising us now?
Hot off the heals of a coveted "highly recommended" by dpreview at their mega-compact-roundup, the Panasonic LZ8 is flying off the shelves at Amazon. The best price is $100 plus $7 shipping through J&R World.
The other camera that got the coveted "highly recommended" is the Sony W120 which goes for about $130. Unlike the LZ8 which takes SD/SDHC and AA-batteries, the W120 takes MemorySticks and LiIon batteries.
Canon SD770 IS and Digital Rebel XS
The compact Canon SD770is is down to $160 at Amazon with free shipping. And you also get a free 4gb Kingston SDHC memory card, which goes for $10 on its own. Its pre-Black-Friday price was $185, so it dropped $25. This is available in either silver or silver+black. This is one of the fast sellers at Amazon's Black Friday sale.
She's pretty and red, and costs only $95. This is the red Samsung L200 offered at that price by Beach Camera on Amazon. Free shipping. It's your typical 10mp, 3x optical zoom, LiIon, SD/SDHC compact camera.
Cameta Cameras on Amazon is offering an alternative bundle to the typical XS (1000D) 2-lens kit. For $640 plus $19 shipping you can get:
- Digital Rebel XS (1000D) with 18-55 EF-S IS lens
- Tamron 70-300mm Di LD macro lens
- Spare LP-E5 battery
- 8gb Transcend memory card
- Precision Design 1000 Deluxe SLR Pro case
- a few more trinkets
Same price, but still a bargain
Its price hasn't moved, but what else can you ask for $110? We are talking about the Canon A590 IS for $110 at Amazon. This was one of the cameras included in the mega-compact-roundup-review at dpreview.
