Daily deal – Flip Ultra series 30 minute digital camcorder – $50 from Dell.com

by Scott Carmichael on

(Update, looks like the deal is dead already, sorry about that!)

My daily deal for today is for the Flip Ultra series digital camcorder. This digital camcorder features a built in flash memory card for up to 30 minutes of video. Once you are done recording, the small flip-out USB connector allows you to instantly transfer the recordings to your computer.

The Flip Ultra has a 1.5″ color screen, a 2x digital zoom and an output for displaying your movies on TV, a video cable is included in the package. The Flip camera is perfect for short video clips on your trip, as it runs off regular AA batteries and is very durable.

If you enjoy underwater activities, then you’ll love the Flip underwater case which can be found on Amazon for under $30 (check the “other” vendors listed on the right side of the Amazon page). The combination of the Flip camera and the underwater case make this the cheapest underwater video camera available on the market.

This camera normally retails for $149, but if you order it from Dell.com, you’ll get an instant $50 off, plus an additional $50 instant rebate, bringing the price down to just $50. To make the deal even better, you’ll even get free ground shipping!

To get the additional $50 off, you will need to enter coupon code KGJQ72S6F0H828 on the checkout page. The coupon code should be valid till September 3rd, but Dell often ends promotions early so don’t wait around too long.

Daily deal – Panasonic Palmcorder mini-DVD camcorder for $180

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the Panasonic VDR-D210 Palmcorder miniDVD camcorder. This camera has a 2.7″ flip-out LCD screen with a joystick for operating the camera functions. The optics are equally impressive. 32x optical zoom, and the well rated Panasonic optical image stabilization.

The VDR-D210 is still listed on Amazon for $339, but you can purchase it from Circuit City (online only) for just $179.96. Included in the box is the camera, a battery with recharger and the user manual. Shipping is free, and tax is charged in all states with a Circuit City physical store.

In order to use the camera, you will have to purchase some mini DVD discs. Recordings can be written on DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-Dual layer. Once you are done recording, you can playback the discs in your home DVD player (if it supports mini DVD discs).

The camera is in the Circuit City outlet, so inventory may be running low. If you are interested in the camera, don’t wait too long, as it probably won’t last till the end of the day.

Daily deal – Canon HV20 Hi-def camcorder for $539.99 (refurbished)

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the highly rated Canon HV20 HD camcorder. This high definition recorder shoots video in true 1080 widescreen format, directly to regular (cheap) miniDV tapes.

The camera normally retails for around $720, but if you can deal with a refurbished version, it could be yours for just $539.99+$5 for shipping.

Refurbished products have been sent back to the manufacturer (for any number of reasons), and have been returned to their “as new” condition. One word of warning about refurbished products though – even though many credit cards offer additional warranty on purchases, this warranty usually does not apply when the product was refurbished. The HV20 comes with a limited 90 day warranty.

Included in this package is the camera itself, a battery pack, AC charger, remote control, HD video cable and of course the user manual.

The Canon HV20 HD camcorder is on sale through the Woot spinoff “Woot Sellout”. To get to the sales page, you will have to enter through shopping.yahoo.com, then right in the middle of the screen you will see the Canon HV20. By clicking on that, you will be taken to sellout.woot.com. You HAVE to go through the Yahoo page to get to the deal. As always with Woot! deals, once it is sold out, the deal is gone. At the moment, this camera is still in stock, but there is no telling how long that will last.
