HOT enough to cause them to evaporate:OLYMPUS D-510 2.1 MP 3x optical 139.50@Staples B&M NR, NO PM

[fishsocks]

HOT, but as always YMMV. Local deal as far as availability but Staples corporate set this clearance price.
Found this camera on clearance at Staples when picking up my Maxtor 40 gig deal yesterday.

OLYPUS D-510 Zoom:

2.1 megapixels
1600x1200 dpi resolution
3x optical/1x digital zoom
1.8"LCD panel
8 meg SmartMedia card

SKU:458565

WAS 279.98.....................CLEARANCE.............. NOW! 139.50 ......

One left in Chino CA. 2 Left down town Los Angeles (LAX area). One display model left in Yorba Linda.

Smokin' if you can find one.



If you get spanked and can not find one, the D-550 for 199.00 is not a bad deal.

I'm not a Digi Cam aficianado by any means!!! But this looks like a great deal if you can pick it up for 139.50. The reviews seem to be very good too...what am I missing???

You are not missing anything.. if you saw the deal on FW 6 days ago. By now, many of those cameras are cleared out already by deal hunters, especially in urban areas. I know, my area (Wash, DC) is almost completely out except for the display models.

While you are there, Kodak 3600 and Kodak 3700 are at same price.

Use coupon for more savings.

Good luck finding any, there was a thread posted last week on this deal over on FW. There was also a couple of Kodaks on clearance. FWIW, I don't think this camera takes very good pictures, (and I like Olympus cameras) , but at $140, it's a good buy.

[EDIT: dog-gone-it Clammy3, I'll have to type faster next time. You beat me by a couple of seconds! ]

 

[stockjock]

My reason for liking this camera is because I've got an old Olympus D500 and I'd love to use a camera that I can still use the SM cards.

 

[acenuts]

looked all over WA state. nothing on either the olympus or kodak. if someone would like to sell me this camera plz pm me.

 

[RossMAN]

Good news: Discontinued price is confirmed as $139.50

Bad news: These are going to be hard to find and as always YMMV.

This is hotter than the Canon PowerShot A40, it's not a better digicam but bang for your buck this digicam is awesome. I'll post links to reviews when I get home later tonight.

I work at a Staples in NY and got the last one in my store last week. Your chances are finding one are pretty slim...

If you like this camera you might like the D-520. Especially if you are already invested in the SM cards, like I have with a previous Oly.
I just bought one from returnbuy for $150+sh+tx (due to where I live).
The only thing slightly damaged was the original box. The camera works fantastic, 16mb SM card, all cables and manuals but no batteries.
Just a hint - there's an auction site that rhymes with hemay where they advertise a LOT of buy now, and the selection from the return buy store is actually greater than on the returnbuy website,
YMMV, but mine is great.

Here is the post I placed here at AT and at FW:

Just currious where you can find the olympus D-550 for $199? thanks

 

[beyonddc]

I bought the Olympus D-510 at Staples for $139.95 3 weeks ago already, and they do have limited stock. It will be very tough to look for one right now.

Sorry for the newb question but what is fw, I have racked my brain and can't make sense out of it.

You can get the d-550 zoom a staples last time I was there it was in stock and 199.00 . I think it comes with a free 32 meg smart media.

I am really enjoying the 510. No complaints except battery life which everyone knows about. All about rechargeables.

Good luck.

Nice deal...2.1MP is nice, I have a Canon A50 which is old by today's standards but takes perfect pics for the web and small printouts.

Got in on this deal Oct 9. Staples overnight shipped me one out of Nebraska!
139.50 - 20 (20 off 100) + Tax = 126.67
