I looked at the ad and I'm wondering if it's 20% off camera & printer (as in you must buy both). Not really clear the way they show it there in my opinion (IMO).

I'd expect these to become more common as the A95 and A85 were just released. Even so this is pretty good, about $50 off the normal price.

This deal is BS. I called all of the stores near me (in Baltimore) and none of them had any in stock. The website said that they had some in stock, but when I called to order one on the phone and try to price match to a store, the CSR said that they were sold out everywhere (which is BS because I tried other zipcodes).

i have noticed with od that on the really good deals they seem to be oos for the entire week. starting to wonder if they're doing the old bait and switch deal.

fyi, it is pretty clear that you have to buy the camera AND a PHOTO printer. not a great deal if you don't want/need the printer. this would really be a pretty amazing price, i paid $300 for mine in the spring and that was a huge deal then, even with the newer cams coming out this is still a quality cam and i don't think they'll have to or be able to afford to get the price this low.

I don't think you have to buy a printer to get this deal, otherwise Office Depot wouldn't have two separate coupon codes, one for the camera and one for the printer. If both were required to get the 20% off then more than likely it would have been just one coupon code.



Saw the post below. My misinterpretation I guess, assuming the poster below meant Office Depot and not OM.

I called OMAX, you must buy both a camera and a printer to get the 20% off.

i bought the camera today at office depot for 198.99, they had no idea about this "tech event special" so I brought the ad to their attention and they honored the price.

I jumped on this for $160 out the door. It was a floor model and the guy couldn't find the box, so he gave it to me for CHEAP! thanks for the post!
