I have been looking at upgrading from my 1.3 mega pixel Fuji digital camera. Settled on the new Canon PowerShot S45.
Most of the reviews have been excellent. It's a 4 megapixel camera with the internals of the PowerShot G3, while a step up from the S40. 3x optical zoom. 11x combined. Can take 3 min movie clips with sound. Specs are here:
PowerShot S45

Ordered from:
Ritz Camera
Includes a special package of software and fee prints etc supposedly worth $300.
If you live in a state that has sales tax, they deduct it from price. In Maryland it came down to $523 before tax.
Use MSN wallet to get 20% credit back (up to $100) to bring actual cost down to $449.

Reseller rating:
4.17
Has mixed to bad ratings, but only 20 reviews so I took a chance. Stores are nice, hopefully they come thru.

I called and PMed to edigitalcity.com and they brought the total price down to 510.65

That comes out to 410.65 after MSN

EDIT : Both me and a friend did the PM, it took each of us 2 tries since the first person didn't do the match.

The camera shipped the next day and came in 3 business days with the free shipping option.

I also did the same as Bang4DaBuc, great deal on a real good camera! I'm also going to get the PNY CF deal at BB today to add to the camera. This deal has been posted on FW to read what others have been getting with this.

How do you get the PM and use MSN wallet to checkout?

Do you purchase, then call and ask for a PM?

If so, should you specifically ask that they not void the orginal order, just amend it?


TIA

First order the camera at regular price with the MSN wallet tab at the bottom, wait until the emails get back to you, the one from Ritz and then the one from MSN. When you have both, then call Ritz and price match. I had to call twice to get someone to match the price, they will just credit your card the difference.
