Just as the title says, the now discontinued Canon G2 for only $499... weird because the front page says $599. This has been for a long time the king of the 4megapixel cameras. I just ordered mine... The store seems reputable.

Plus I haven't seen any recent posts on G2 deals... hope you guys enjoy this hot deal.
 
Great deal, though as GOSHARKS posted, they seem iffy at best. There seem to be a lot of iffy camera outfits out there... Then again, I suppose if you get the camera free and clear and have a valid warranty (that is the true question), then who really cares. 🙂

I picked mine up in August for $509 + shipping from another N.Y. vendor. They were quick to ship ... but, that's all I will say. However, they did put on a sales "push" for me to buy some of the additional accessories. When I received the accessories (case, charger & spare battery for $190 more) - I realized they provided me with the wrong charger and battery. So, the "accessories" went back and I received a credit of $190 about 6 weeks later.

So far, this has been a very, very good camera. Since August, I've only charged the battery twice (including the initial charge) and I have taken in excess of 200 pictures with it. My feeling is that I would not buy an second battery and faster charger unless you really need it, or are going on a long vacation. The shots that have been taken with this camera are "top notch." The only other digital camera that I can compare the Canon G2 to is two of the Kodak models. I repeated many of the same shots with both cameras - and the Canon dusted the Kodak. 😉

For most people, this camera is *overkill*. Most of my pictures, I've cropped down to 1/4 of their potential size for either Web work or printing as 4" x 6" prints. For the casual user, the "RossMAN Special" - the Canon A40 would be more than sufficient. However, when the day comes when I want to get some 8" x 10" pictures printed, the Canon G2 will reveal its true identity. 😉

Here's some of my G2 shots that were reduced to 800 x 600 resolution and saved as .JPG files with a "lesser" quality: My Canon G2 Shots - All settings were left in "automatic" mode and I was fighting the sun in the pictures - but, I had to get the shots taken at that moment.
 
wje: Are you sure you want to reveal the info on your window sticker?
(Just thought I should tell you, though I doubt anyone could do much with the info).

Yes, I want the information revealed. The car will no longer be mine tomorrow. Plus, it's not the sticker* that matters - it's the paperwork that I signed at the dealership that reflects the true price of the car. However, thanks for pointing it out. 🙂 - The sticker picture was scanned with my Canon scanner, not taken with my Canon G2 camera. I also have the Canon i550 printer (great printer, BTW.) I guess you could call me a Canon whore. 😀

* - The VIN number was already posted at the automobile classified sites - so people could run CarFax reports on my vehicle. I guess that's the only thing that would really concern me because the rest of the material on the sticker would be common knowledge and available from Ford.

I suppose that's how they managed the low price - by not caring! 🙁
Anyways, I wouldn't order from the place but if you can, use it as a price-match place since it's got USA warranty/no grey market writtien all over it. 😉
