I know some else pointed it out, but the sending rebates by registered mail is excessive in both cost and use of the service. They may as well require it be sent to a numbered company with 50 digits to its name and say that the instructions were not followed when they're a typo. Or better yet, have a period somewhere in the address and if anyone forgets to write it, they can claim that the instructions weren't followed so, no rebate...I was gonna order the SD & Ram but forget it.

Better yet, imagine if they hired a team of RFD'ers to devise a rebate system with the mission to pay out as little as possible. Oh that would be funny...

Hello,

Am searching for a good (actualy "hot" ) digital camera as a first time buyer and am considering this one that TD has on sale:

Minolta Dimage X1 / 8 Megapixel / 3x Optical Zoom / 2.5 LCD / Slim Digital Camera: $389.97

Any feedback? I didn't find that much info on the camera or brand and wondering if anyone has any feedback they can share. (Otherwise, am considering going with a Canon since seem to be lauded everywhere).

Thanks!

Seems like a half decent camera but there are probably some slightly better choices for the price...

TD == no deals

[wwtsang]

what real deals were there from the employee pricing sale, didn't see anything i was interested in

yea... MIR suck, plus their registered mail rule doesn't make it better, i think it's a strategy to stop ppl from submitting 10 dollar rebates when they realise they need to pay 7 bucks to mail it.... i sent my last TD MIR using regular mail for my KVM, got a reply from the company (trendnet) that i hadn't sent in my barcode, luckily i photocopied it, the rep was nice and approved my check after i told her the barcode, but spent an extra 30 minutes on the phone and maybe 60 days to get my money

[cheaperplease]

Over $200 for free shipping? Ouch.

[wisc]

yes excellent savings from TD,

j/k

looks like they got tired of giving good deals.

looks like they got tired of giving good deals.

did they ever?

[djspazz]

I get all types of emails from places like NCIX, CanComputer, Anitec, FS, BB, Staples... I take a look at all of them, because there may be a good deal. I delete the TD ones w/o even opening them. Truly spam... Don't they realize that people aren't that dumb.

worst "boxing day deals" ever...14inch LCD for 180$??? i can get a 17inch for 200$...TD is no go for me.
