Deal of the Day #4 - 10/21/08

Hello Again,

Wow, I guess all I need to do is say that there has not been much lately, and it rains deals. Amazon is selling my favorite combination camera and camcorder in one unit for a sick low price of $368.32, with free shipping. This is a camera that usually sells for close to $500, has a 10x zoom, shoots 720p High Definition video, and has image stabilization. It is the best all in one unit on the market, and this is the lowest price I have ever seen for this unit.

You can find it here.

You can find reviews here, here, here, and here. The first review, CNets, is not great. I have seen 16x20 stills from this camera, and they look awesome. I do not know what CNet did, but I do not agree with their review, aside from the comfort issues. Play with one before you buy one, or use a small tripod to hold the camera. This is more comfortable anyway. The only thing I can think of is that Canon released a firmware update since this review, but I do not know how CNet got such bad results.

One other great thing about this camera is the loyal following it has. Here is one web site that is dedicated to this camera and this camera alone.

I have been working on a huge video round-up, but it is not yet complete. This post is a small sample of that posting. Stay tuned for more details.

Later,

John
