If you just browse through Staples regular directory for Digital Cameras and click on the 3 megapixel cameras link they don't list the A70. In fact I haven't seen it in any of our local stores yet.
BUT if you type in 'A70' in the search area it comes up and at only $299 - that's $50 less than most other online and B&M retailers, although you can get it for roughly that price from some Internet wholesalers.
Throw in a coupon and you can drop the price to a better level. I had my own $20 off coupon and TRIED to get some $30 or $40 off coupons from coupon sites to work, but was unsuccessful. Maybe you guys have access to some or can have better luck. However, I was able to find a coupon that got me a free cheapo 5" b/w TV and a duffel bag that you can use in conjunction with a $-off coupon.
With tax, my total came out to just a tad over $300 for the A70, the TV and the duffel bag.
Not flaming hot like the Dell deal was (although it would be closer with a $40 off coupon), but I ordered it yesterday and it's already here today. Plus, since Staples has one of the best return policies I can easily return it if the A70's supposed 'softness' issue really is that noticeable. I'm going to break it in by taking a lot of photos at a golf tournament this weekend. That should be a good testing ground.
