sony dsc-f505v Digital Camera $299-$399 at a few places (reg 799-899)

[douglassirk]

awesome camera.... got one for myself and sent 2 or 3 other people there last week.....

basically sony must have sent down the word to move em all out so the new 707 doesn't have to fight for time/space....

came across them for 399 at sears and circuit city with closeout tags.... also came across some open boxes for 299 at sears.....

really 2.6 not 3.3 megapixels but with the whopping carl zeiss vario-sonnar lens sharp as a tack and 5x optical to boot you will in no way miss the extra pixels trust me....

heres some reviews

keep in mind those two top searches on grabber are REFURBISHED
the lowest real price online atm for a new one is still 799 as near as i can tell

True. So even $399 is a killer deal, that's 50% off the PriceGrabber.com's lowest price.

Heh,

My searching skills are not as good as master RossMAN's, all I could come up with before on pricegrabber was a bag.

I guess I'll try stopping by some B&M stores. I loved this camera when it came out and I can almost afford it now!

bump - hope theres still some cheap ones out there!

bump for a camera that looks like a futuristic gun.

All Atlanta-area Circuit City stores are out.

YMMV, of course.

Got to play w/ one the other day. Dang. Complicated. My DSC s-50 is soooooooooo easy to use compared the the Sony Yamato Space Cannon there. Gotta read the manual on that one!

actually, its pretty easy to use. 3 modes - Play, Camera, Video.
1 shutter button. Tada

The camera has been discontinued at Circuit City for about 9 months so it would be hard to find one unless it was open box.
