Canon S2 IS for $284.20 shipped + Mypoints!

[drgnfly30]

I just purchased the Canon S2 IS (Yes after much debate I decided to get this one & not wait for the S3)... from Dell

$399.00
-20% off Coupon (7?LVR1LS2064G)
-$35 off Coupon (QFTPZQNBRH9TD)
-Free Shipping
$284.20

Don't forget to go through Mypoints... today it listed 3pts for every dollar spent (852 pts) - I think the norm is 2pts...

Good luck!

And I thought when I bought it for $320 was a good deal. Way to go! :dancer:

Thanks!

From your research can you tell me what is new about the S3 IS?

ETA: Are the codes still good to use? I think there's a 6 between the L and V which will work yet the $35 off code doesn't work? Help?!?!? :teeth: Thanks!

The main thing is ISO800 capability, cleaner hgh-ISO noise (supposedly, at least from the demo I've seen, S3 ISO800 is cleaner than S2 ISO400)

The secondary (but important to me), the colour is in gun metal rather than silver.

However, at $284 shipped? Just buy it!

I've been trying to get the S2 for the last few days since seeing the 20% off and $35 codes floating around. It looks like the $35 codes are unique and can only be used once. Thanks to a kind DIS member from the budget board I just got a $35 code PM'd to me a few minutes ago. :banana: The only thing that kind of stinks is that Dell is showing a 3-5 week delivery now and I was hoping to get it before we leave on the 29th. Oh well, I'll have my A610 that I bought last month but I really wanted that 12x zoom for the parks. :(

I got the codes from flamingoworld.com
I think there is a limit to the # of times the code can be used.. I remember seeing disclosures like good for 1000 uses....

A similar deal posted the other day didn't work for me either, I saw these today & figured I'd give it a try.. sure enough it worked... Hope you find a combination that works for you!

Did you get charged sales tax? I had it in my shopping cart, went through the whole process of setting up an account, entered my cc info and then I noticed the total was $300 with tax added so I canceled out of it. It doesn't seem like such a good deal now that it's $300 and knowing I have to wait 3-5 weeks for the camera. I'm guessing in the next month or so the other online websites are likely to continue to come down on their pricing - Amazon currently has it at $339, no tax, free shipping and it ships in 2-3 days. If I decide to pass on it for now I'll definitely give the coupon code to someone else here on the Disboards who wants it.
