Best price I've found for this travel zoom. Bundle includes PowerShot SX230 HS Body, 4GB SD Card, Camera Case, Cleaning Kit, Battery Pack NB-5L, Battery Charger CB-2LX, Wrist Strap WS-DC11, AV Cable AVC-DC400ST, USB Interface Cable IFC-400PCU, and Digital Camera Solution CD-ROM. It's not stated what class the SD card is, most likely a 4 or 6. Offer valid to 12/8.

Available in 3 colors, black, red, and blue.

You maybe able to get an addition 5% cashback from ShopDiscover or 4% from Mr. Rebates, but the $8. coupon may negate these.

This camera is very nice (have one myself). A few comments to consider. The sony (hx9v) has better video quality (the canon has better image quality (esp in low light)). The canon has a bit of CA and they do not correct for it (panasonic cameras tend to correct for CA). Anyways I'm fairly happy with the camera - esp at the price point and 190 is a very good price (I paid $300 when it first came out because I was leaving for a trip 3 days later and couldn't wait).

Naturally next year cameras will be better (sensors are improving) - so don't buy unless you actually need a new camera now 🙂
 
If you don't want the bundle, Staples has this camera on sale this week for $199.99 free shipping + tax. http://www.staples.com/Canon-PowerShot-SX230-HS-Digital-Camera-Black/product_927301

Get a $25. off $100., $30. off $150., or a 20% off printable in-store 1 item coupon from ejunkie http://www.e-junkie.com/staples-coupons or fleabay. I prefer e-junkie.

Again, you maybe able to get an addition 5% cashback from ShopDiscover or 2% from Mr. Rebates or ebates, but the coupon may negate these.

Edit: Since I already have a 16GB SD card I went with the Staples 20% off in-store coupon option.
Total: $199.99 - $40. (20% off coupon) + $11.20 tax + $1.49 for e-junkie coupon = $172.68 + gas. Luckily I live ~10 miles from Staples.
