Daily deal – Canon PowerShot SD770IS digital camera for $145

My daily deal for today is for the Canon PowerShot SD770IS. This compact 10 megapixel point and shoot camera features a 3x optical zoom lens, with image stabilization.

The SD770IS normally retails for just under $200, but Amazon has dropped the price significantly, down to just $144.95.

The SD770IS has an amazing array of features, from a built in red-eye removal tool to smile and motion detection.

The camera comes complete with USB and video cables, a rechargeable battery pack with AC charger and a 32MB memory card.

Given the insanely small size of the included memory card, you will want to be sure to order an additional card for the camera.

You’ll find the Canon PowerShot SD770IS at this low price on Amazon.com, and since the order is over $25, you’ll also get free shipping.

Daily deal – Kodak EasyShare C813 Pink digital camera for $82

Yes – it is that time of year again. Retailers suddenly have the urge to sell pink Valentines day gadgets. My daily deal for today takes advantage of the nice discounts on pink stuff.

The Kodak C813 EasyShare digital camera takes photos in 8.2 megapixels, and features a 3X optical zoom, 5X digital zoom and image stabilization.

The camera comes runs off regular AA batteries, but you’ll have to provide your own batteries if you want rechargeables. Included in the box is a wrist strap, USB cable, CD, manual and a set of Alkaline AA batteries.

You’ll find the camera on sale at Amazon, who’ll ship it to you for free. Of course, if you or your loved one are not big fans of pink, you can also buy it in silver – for $3 less!

Daily deal – Canon Powershot SD790IS digital camera for $120

My daily deal for today is for the Canon Powershot SD790IS. This compact digital camera shoots photos in 10 megapixels and features a 3x optical zoom with optical image stabilization.

The camera also offers the Canon motion detection and face detection system, which should help improve the quality of your photos by preventing “face blur”.

The SD790IS comes with a rechargeable battery pack, AC charger, USB and video cables as well as a puny 32MB memory card. If you plan to make more than 5 or 6 photos you’ll of course need to order an extra memory card.

The camera is on sale at Opticsplanet for $120, and they will even throw in free UPS shipping for you. If you like to do a little research before buying a new digital camera, check out this review at Steve’s Digicams. The camera still retails for over $175 at most online stores, so this deal really is quite “hot”.

Daily deal – Refurbished Canon Powershot A560 digital camera for $59

My daily deal for today is for a refurbished Canon A560 digital camera.

The A560 is a pretty highly rated Canon camera with a 7.1 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom and a 2.5″ LCD display. The camera runs off regular AA batteries.

The camera has been refurbished, which means it was once returned to Canon, who took it apart, and returned it to its “as new” condition. Most of the refurbished products I’ve purchased in the past were indeed just like new, though most of them don’t come in the original box.

The A560 is on sale for just $59, making it one of the cheapest ways to get your hands on a good quality camera, without breaking the bank.

Included in the box is the camera, a 16MB card, 2 AA batteries, a USB cable, a wrist strap and a CD/manual kit.

The camera is on sale at Adorama, and shipping is included in the purchase price.

Daily deal – Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera + 18-55mm lens + 4GB memory card for $392

My daily deal for today is a great way to get one step closer to professional style photography.

This Nikon D40 Digital SLR camera is one of the cheapest dSLR kits on the market at the moment, and at $392 for the camera, basic lens and a free 4GB memory card, it is a true steal. It is on sale at Abe’s of Maine, one of the most reliable online camera vendors in the country.

Sure, the camera is “only” 6.1 megapixels, and the lens will be in need of an upgrade once you get a hang of being a pro, but it will certainly produce better results than most point and click cameras.

As with most SLR’s, the camera will usually end up being the cheapest part of your investment. Once you start dropping money on extra batteries, a bag, more lenses and a ton of memory cards you’ll be feeling like a (poor) pro before you know it!

I’ll also admit that I suck at making photos. As a geek, I purchased a dSLR quite early on, and the lack of an “idiot button” forced me back to my trusty point and shoot camera after just a few days. Thankfully our own Karen Walrond has posted a nice collection of educational articles and some handy tips on how to make great photos.

The Nikon D40 kit comes with the camera itself, a basic 18-55mm lens, a battery with charger and video/USB cables. The deal includes a free 4GB memory card. To get the price down to $392, you’ll need to add a couple of promotional codes; when you start the checkout process make sure to add “NKDS50” and “LOYALTY10”, and you’ll magically see the price go down to $391.95. Shipping is free, and sales tax is only collected in NJ.
