If you think those prices are scary, look here: shop4digital
They had a Canon G1 for $744 (now $788)!! I ordered one ... found out it was out of stock. Canceled without a problem. Thing with these e-tailers is .... you have to be more persistent than them ... or else you'll get shafted.
The reason why they offer prices like these is they try to get you with accessories, which are way overpriced and second-rate. Never buy the accessories!!
Rebuilder: I ordered a dig. camera from MPSuperstore, too. What'd you get? I got a G1. I called them today to confirm. They processed it and I got a free upgrade to Next Day Air because I need it by Wednesday (in time for Thanksgiving pics).
damn, i want a G1 Or the Olympus 2100 UZ.. 10 optical... oh man.... but can't stick in my pocket (well, the G1 is difficult, but better than that olympus).....
damn cheap.. wonder if they have resellerratings... that olympus c3030z is like 120 cheaper than what I paid for and the canon s100 is lowest price I found..
G1 came to $758 (for 2nd day air, but got the next day upgrade). The G1 is a better buy IMHO.
-It has the flash hotshoe, so you can attach a canon flash to get more power behind the flash.
-It has a fold-out LCD screen (similar to those camcorders that have the LCD).
-Doesn't look as funny as the 990 (I don't like the two part construction of the 990).
-Can take microdrives (up to several gigs of storage).
-Comes with a remote control
Deckard (Bladerunner), if you're gonna spend around $400, then sure the 950 is a good deal. But if you're gonna spend ~$800, then the G1 is my choice. I was comparing with the 990 in my previous post. Plus, the G1 just came out ... so that's why it's not the top-rated camera ... yet.
