Warm: Canon A70 + 64 MB CF for $250 + tax at OfficeMax

[tnguyen3in1]

Someone mentioned this in a different thread but since that thread was about the Staples deal, I figured I post it here. OfficeMax has it for $299.98 with a free Lexar 64MB flash card. Go to OfficeMax, click on the $50 off $250 link. Than paste this link in the same window:

*********************
** Edit
** Go here instead
** Order by number order by item # and
** enter BUND5077 with a quantity of however many you want. Thanks Zimtek
*********************

For some reason I couldn't search on A70 but I got this link from one of them price search engines. It appears that this deal will last as long as the coupon is good (6/13), they lowered the price from $349.98 to $299.98, although I'm not sure they're throwing in the flash card.

I got in on this but it's back ordered so we'll see.

DEALS DEAD....Hope everybody got one, that wanted one.

goto officemax order by item # and enter BUND5077 with a quantity of however many you want.......don't forget to use one of those fat $50 off coupons.

Great buy on a great camera.....

Ross, you some sort of psychic or something? man, I knew it'd come down to that price too, but just not nearly this soon!!!

Item # 20045390 , Style # T24260073
Cost $0.69

Thank you tnguyen3in1!

I had ordered the Canon A70 through Dell a couple of weeks ago for a net of about $270+ and it was backordered till 5/2, but today they sent me an e-mail further delaying it till 5/13.

Thanks to your post, I have now ordered it through OfficeMax for $250 (okay, so OM charged me tax, but they bundled in a 64 MB CompactFlash card, and that makes up for it).

I'm spending and saving my way to the poor house.

Edit: OfficeMax has just notified me that ETA for delivery is 5/6. Bye bye, Dell...hello, OfficeMax!

 

[hollowman]

do you guys prefer A70 over S200? Other than A70 being 3.1mp, what's the advantage over s200? or S230 in that matter?

 

[gwlam12]

hm..anyone think i should sell my a60 for this thing? i dont print photos larger than 4x6 and i dont really need that extra vga mode. how many secs can u get in vga mode? i forget. 30?

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

in movie mode? 180 seconds.

 

[gwlam12]

180 seconds is only for 160x120 and 320x240. the vga mode that the a70 has doesnt last for 3 minutes

haha me too, I did the same thing, initially mine was sceduled for 5/9 so looks like it would've been pushed out even more.

 

[gwlam12]

just checked it out at steve's digicam reviews. 30 seconds . hm. so anyone think i should upgrade my a60 just for 30 seconds of vga mode and the extra mp? (Even though i dont print larger than 4x6)

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

dang, you're correct, 30 seconds on the 640x480.

 

[tnguyen3in1]

I think the big thing, other than resolution is the optical zoom; 3x on A70 vs 2x on the S2xx

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

I do need a camera bag for it however. anyone have any suggestions?

 

[gwlam12]

if i were u, i'd get the a70. batteries are AA, so its so much cheaper and easier to replace.

I wouldn't unless you really need those extra features. But it all boils down to what's more important the $50 or the extra features. I figured since I'm spending $200, another $50 isn't that much more

I picked up a Samsonite at Best Buy a couple years ago for my father that wasn't too bad.
