I bought this camera back in December for my wife. At the time, it was retailing for $549 and I managed to get it for $479. My wife has praised this camera for its simplicity and features. It's definitely not made for a professional by any means but for the casual photographer, it takes great pictures without much effort. At $419, this is definitely a good bargain for anyone looking for this camera specifically.

All arguments about the 700 vs. the 800 aside, this is the best price I have seen, and there is PM opportunity too if you don't want Blacks 60 day price guarantee. FS has this camera for $499 at the moment.

I know you can't really compare, but just to put prices in perspective, I bought this camera in the US from Dell Online for ~400 CAD after shipping and taxes back in october (amerifriend++)...
But this is still definitely a good price for a B&M retail shop in Canada. Looks like they're getting ready to clear out stock for the new Canon P&S digicams..._______________

Decent price.
2 local Black's stores have closed in the past few months though. Not very encouraging.
They did have great deals on frames though, and a monopod which I picked up. Reply With Quote

Some actually prefer the SD700IS over the SD800IS because the 700 has the older Digic II processor, whereas the 800 has the newer Digic III processor. This is because the Digic III does more post-processing, making the image slightly blurrier.
