Edit 3/11: Amazon is sold out of the A60. You can get the camera for $160 through Adorama on Amazon's site, but you do not get a memory card with it. They did drop the price on the A70 to $230.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but Amazon's got some decent deals on the Canon Powershot A60 and A70 digicams.

The A60 is $170 and the A70 is $230. These aren't bad prices to begin with, but wait, there's more! :p Both of the cameras also come with a free 64 MB compact flash card (or a discount on a larger card) plus you get free standard shipping.

We've seen hotter deals in the past for these two, but this isn't bad.

If anyone doesn't know what these cameras are, they're from Canon's entry-level A-Series. The A60 is 2MP and the A70 is 3MP, but they're otherwise pretty much identical.
They get very good reviews because they have excellent photo quality for this class. They're also easy to use yet they offer some features and manual controls that many competitors do not.

not bad

A60 deal is better.


Also, the 64mb will get you much further with 2mp than 3mp.

Why not the A-70 from target with 33% rain check!

I have the A70 and I like it. I am amazed with how this camera has retained its value. I got it at OM last July for $250 with a 128CF. Ususally these items go down in price quickly. Very good camera.

Yo elminster, how did you get the A70 for $212 at CC? It shows $260 at their website.
Any help is much appreciated. Buddy of mine wants to get this camera.

Is the 30 off 350 coupon a generic one, or a begged for one?

A friend is debating the A70 vs the S50 (I own an S50) and I wanted to send him specifics to help him decide.
