Refurbished Nikon S9900 compact-zoom for $230
The Nikon Coolpix S9900 is offered manufacturer refurbished with a 90 day Nikon USA warranty for $230 with free shipping at Groupon Goods. Before I give you the spoiler, take a closer look at that listing. Spoiler in the next paragraph, stop reading if you don’t want to be spoiled 🙂
The spoiler is… the picture is of a Sony superzoom camera, but everything in the listing is about the Nikon S9900 which may perhaps explain why they only sold one, even though it’s a good price, when you consider the new condition is $300 at Amazon and Best Buy upon eBay et al. The Groupon listing for the new condition Coolpix S9900 has the correct picture.

eBay has a featured compact cameras under $400 sale that includes 81 different options from various sellers and in various conditions (new or refurbished). The Canon G16 and Samsung NX Mini are probably the only ones with RAW, the rest are superzooms, waterproofs, point and shoots and accessories.

Kodak PixPro AZ251 superzoom for $109
The post-Rochester Kodak PixPro AZ251 Astral-Projection superzoom (25x optical) is currently on sale in three different colors for $110 at the Staples website. To see the sale price, you have to select one of the three colors. The price before you select a color is $135.19. Staples really need a new website infrastructure system but I’m going off on a tangent now. This appears to be price-matched by Amazon.com in one of the three colors. The reviews at Amazon are all over the place, so do research the camera if you are not already familiar with it.
