Nikon L100 superzoom ships for $198

If you are looking for a AA-based superzoom that is a little bit different than the typical superzoom, one camera to consider is the Nikon L100 which has now dropped to $198 with free shipping sold and shipped by Amazon.com. The superzoom market is extremely competitive, which means prices are dropping and dropping!

Fuji F70 w/4gb SD, camera case, mini tripod ships for $230

If you like accessory-extras, and also like the Fuji F70EXR, then for $230 with free shipping you can get a Fuji F70 bundle from Adorama which includes the standard camera kit, along with a 4gb EasyStore SD card, a Lowepro Ridge 10 camera case, and a two-section mini tripod.

When you compare this bundle to the camera-only kit at Amazon, it's like getting two of the three accessories for free.

The big question is whether you want them or need them. Pack-rats already know the answer :)

Samsung instant rebates: HZ15w for $210, TL225 (dual-screen) for $290

We have some interesting Samsung deals at Buy.com, but please note, these are intermediate level deals so if you want to make the most of them, please pay close attention.

Buy.com is having instant rebate discounts on a number of Samsung products. The instant rebates are good until November 21st, 2009.

In order to see the low price, you must add the item to your shopping cart and go to the Checkout page (you don't have to place an order). A Buy.com account is required in order to reach the Checkout page.

And there is a twist in this promotion: You can only have one instant-rebate discount per order, however, Buy.com encourages you/us to place as many orders as you like.

And one more thing for those of you who may not be intimately familiar with Buy.com: Just like Amazon, they have a marketplace with third-party sellers offering products as well. The promotions mentioned here only apply if the item is sold and shipped by Buy.com itself, not by the third-party sellers. So be sure to double-check that.

And also, when you reach the Checkout page, if you prefer free shipping, be sure to check the "Budget Shipping" option. The default setting is "Standard shipping". And depending on where you live, there may be sales tax and environmental fees on LCD monitors.

After you add it to the shopping cart and proceed to the Checkout page, you will notice a $60 OFF discount appear and the price will drop to $290. Select "budget shipping" if you want free shipping.

Samsung HZ15w for $210
You can have the Samsung HZ15w for $210! This is Samsung compact fun-zoom and it has a $40 instant rebate. The price you see on the webpage is $250. After you add it to the cart and proceed to Checkout, you will see a $40 off discount appear in the Checkout page, and bring the price down to $210.

+ Samsung CL65 $340 after $60 instant rebate
