I've decided on a Powershot S400.

[Ferocious]

After some studying I decided on this camera. My wife will be using it at least as much as I will.

Any final warnings or very similar alternatives before I buy it tomorrow?

 

[geno]

As a Canon fanboy - I say good choice sir!

 

[toekramp]

tis an awesome camera

 

[m2kewl]

i am drooling over this for xmas!

/wipes drool from sears display camera

 

[shuan24]

Good choice indeed! :beer:

 

[TubStain]

Good choice. I have an S230 and compactness rules!

If you are an avid photographer looking to experiment with more features though, I'd look elsewhere. If you want a compact, light, quality camera with decent fatures to boot, you made the right choice.

s45 or s50. Canon Underwater case ROCKS! (Although there probably is one for the s400)

Awesome choice!

My only advice is, DO NOT PAY RETAIL!

I plan on paying $449 at Circuit City tomorrow. Is that a reasonable price considering that I prefer to shop brick -n- mortar?

 

[GTaudiophile]

BuyDig sells the S400 for $369.

(Compared to Best Buy which sells it for $449.99.)

Edit: BuyDig has a 4.5/5 star review with 4314 reviews from pricegrabber.com.

i have the s230 and I LOVE IT>

 

[LS20]

i bought my beloved canon s30 from buydig.com...totally trustworthy. its a legitimate dealer too because i got the cam warrantied w/ the buydig receipt (my fault, i dropped the cam)

 

[GTaudiophile]

While we're on the subject of digicams, I thought I'd mention a newegg deal: Nikon CoolPix 5700 (5.0mpx/8x Optical Zoom) for $639.

 

[selene]

I own the original s100 (loved it), s110, and when they flood with s200/s230 / s400. I figure it was too fast for me to upgrade. I'll be getting my for x-mas and it'll be one sweet upgrade I love these canons..

I was thinking of the sd100 ? the secure digital model but i think ill stick with the CF ones..

I think new egg price is 397. I never bought from buy dig but i never hard bad things about them

the box never comes shrink wrap so you'll never know whats missing

 

[Ferocious]

hmmm at buydig are the extras worth the extra money.

$429 for executive?

?

I would advise against buying accessories at BuyDig or any other site like it. Go to newegg for things like CompactFlash

BuyDig sells that 128MB card for $59. Newegg sells it for $27 (SimpleTech).

(Best Buy sells their 128MB SanDisk CF card for $59.99 as well.)

sounds g00d, i love canons, and i have the lowly but great a60 <33

 

[isasir]

Is there any reason why it seems like ppl. here don't really buy from BuyDig? I've constantly seen their prices to be pretty low, yet I don't recall ever seeing them mentioned in Hotdeals, unless it was to pricematch. Their user rating is high as well.

Have you held the camera in your hand?
I looked at the S series, but I didn't like the way they felt in my hand. I definitely preferred the feeling of the A series cameras. But I don't really care about being able to put it in my pocket, so that may be a deciding factor for you.

The accesories don't really seem like a good deal.
I'm guessing the reason places like BuyDig and Beach Camera have the lowest prices is that they make most of their money on the accessories. They seem to push those kits pretty hard.
