I was just about to buy one earlier and had it in my cart, looked at another item then went back to my cart only to find it was empty. I just called and they said it's out of stock and it got completely removed from the site. Would've been a great deal to get in on.

 

[Passions]

i think i am going to cry

 

[TKE96]

It wasn't there when I was surfing through yesterday. It showed up today. I am thinking that thier story is fishy since there was a "NEW" banner, indicating this was a new product, next to the link. Did anybody else get one?

 

[NICKel]

Man I almost pissed my pants....... A Canon s-100 for 335..... (sigh)

 

[novon]

Funny thing, now that the 10% off digital cameras is gone at 800.com, the S100 is back! Man, they sure "restocked" rather fast! I wonder why they ran out of stock last night?! Hmmm, probably not enough of a profit margin for them!

I can't get the 20% off through Passport at mpsuperstore!! I am at the final checkout screen and it shows no discount. I went through MSN passport portal and everything. Someone help me ... please.

 

[Mr.Diggler]

I can't even get mpsuperstore.com to load up their homepage...their site is messed up I guess.

I wanted to check the GL-1 price...$500 off would be nice if they did use MS Passport.

The 20% off promo works differently when using MPsuperstore. You are NOT supposed to see the 20% being taken off your order. After you place your order you will see the full amount, minus discount, and they are supposed to take the 20% off the final invoice before billing your credit card. Kind of makes you nervous huh?

This is what I've been told by MPsuperstore, plus this is what it says when you try placing your order using MSN. It's under the terms/conditions.

As a sidebar, when you call them to confirm the your order, to see if the 20% off went through, they will try to hard sell....and I mean HARD SELL, you to buy additional accessories. It appears they are selling the cameras at cost, and make all there money on the accessories. They aren't losing money on the MSN 20% off promo, since, as I quote the guy from MPsuperstore "we will bill Microsoft for that amount".

I recommend using your credit card instead of your debit card, in case you have to dispute the charges later. Oh...and Microsoft is aware of the above situation....if you have any problems, they want you to email them (go to http://eshop.msn.com/feedback.asp).

So have fun buying from them.

pricematch staples s100 for $398!

 

[jhassi]

<< s100 is limited to 1600x1200, 1280, 640. >>



wrong, the s100 can only do 1600x1200 or 640x480

 

[jhassi]

Another &quot;problem&quot; with the S100.

The S10 and S100 has a continuous photo mode, where it takes several photos each a second apart, a very useful feature as it lets you take a &quot;slide show&quot; of images. The number of photos the camera takes is limited by the amount of storage memory it has in the camera, not the flash memory mind you, these cameras have a bit of memory in the camera that stores an image immediately to be saved to the flash a few seconds later.

My S10 takes about 6 continuous photos at 1600x1200 in fine mode, ~10 at 1280x1024 fine, and at 800x600 fine it takes, um, about 25.

With the S100, you only have 1600x1200 super fine, 1600x1200 fine and 640x480 fine to take continuous pictures from, so you either take a few continous 1600x1200 or you take lots and lots of 640x480. However, we all know that printing a 640x480 image would be very very small, so basically you have to chose, do I want to just take 5 images continously that I could print or should i take a few dozen small images that I can't print?

Course I'd still trade my s10 in for a s100, but that feature may be more important to some of you guys than it is to me, although I'm discovering more and more how great it is, i mean I don't have to worry about pressing the shutter at that perfect moment to get the perfect 5x7 (1280x1024), i just hold it down and let the camera snap away
