Nabbing Canon's little PowerShot
SD770IS 10 megapixel shooter with optical image stabilization for $160 from Amazon is a decent deal, though not great. Like many of this year's so called
Black Friday deals, a little mouse-work will likely uncover the same prices elsewhere. But read Amazon's fine print and you'll see that you can add a free, 4GB class 4 SDHC card (something you'll likely want to purchase anyway) to save another $11 or so on your purchase. What Amazon doesn't tell you is that you can add
any Kingston SDHC card for free. Right, including the $30 16GB SDHC card (ships after Christmas) or $15 8GB class 6 card (ships before Christmas). Free shipping too and tax free -- $159.94 is your final price. Just hit up the links below, add the products to your cart, and watch the savings roll in.
P.S. You won't see the price drop by just adding the items to the cart. The price for the SD card is subtracted just before checking out.

The 16GB card didn't work for me.
have to check out - worked for me
That THAT Amazon! :-\
Your photo choises are just killing me :D
Oh, kinda like the way your spelling is killing me?
that was british...oh wait a minute...
English is not my native language, so my spelling isn't always 100% correct. However, you should be intelligent enough to understand it even though I replaced a c with an s, so is it really a big deal?
Just ignore the pedantic, unfunny nerds. They have an inferiority complex and an insatiable desire to please anonymous internet goers with e-toughnerd posts.
Ignore him, hes just angry he wont get a high ranked post anytime soon
...indeed...quite shallow and pedantic
Willis: Whatcha talkin bout
Says the guy who spelled "kind of" as "kinda."
Thought that looked like a good deal - checked amazon.co.uk - same camera, £199!!!
Might try ordering directly from the US of A maybe ;)
If Dave Chappelle is right, Coleman should start running... This is one racist car!
You mean this?

Too bad I can't find the clip...
wachutalkinbout Vianon?
Is that pic from the Knight Rider episode where Gary Coleman runs for Gov but David Hasselhoff gets drunk and eats him while this daughter films it?
Or did that really happen?
I don't know if the deal is in america, but here in england Amazon are doing the canon 960 IS for £119 with case, which is crazy considering the older model and the ixus 80 are going for £160
you yanks get all the luck
fyi...
The 16GB sd card is not compatible with the SD770:
http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/partsinfo.asp?root=us&LinkBack=http://www.kingston.com&ktcpartno=SD4/16GB&id=2
The 8GB class 6 version (along with everything else) is compatible with the camera.
FWIW, Canon's FAQ on memory card compatibility seems to suggest that their cameras support the max sizes for the standards they support. In other words, with the SDHC standard supporting up to 32GB currently, any of their cameras that support SDHC should accept cards up to 32GB in size.
They do caution that compatibility issues could arise, and to contact the card manufacturer for compatibility information. Still, not sure if I'm comfortable relying on a third-party's info. Their list could just be outdated. All but one of the Canon cameras on Kingston's list are from 06/07. The SD770 IS is an 08 model.
Got my camera and 16GB card today...they work together perfectly. Of course, I'm going to steal the 16GB for my S5 IS and let the wife have my old 2GB for her new SD770 IS...but curiosity got the better of me and I tried it out =)
wow that is a new low for engadget, no longer about technology it's now about some obscure deal somewhere.....
this indicates a problem with the people working there and the their auditing policy
@BobTurbo & Cubfan786
Thanks ;-)
To say that it is "tax free" is deceptive. Amazon probably doesn't collect sales tax for your state, but if you live in a state with sales tax, you still owe that tax on the purchase even though it was not collected by Amazon.
wow, that's really cheap. Unfortunately, I can't go and grab this b/c I have to work on Black Friday :(
Awesome i need it for my sandisk fuze mp3 and video player :D

its nice deal but, I think 16 GB not work properly, any way its nice deal.
Just tried and the deal doesn't seem to work --- anybody try with success?
I also put both in my cart and see no price difference..
nvm i was just paying tax on top of that.. the deal works!
To those who say it didn't work, how far into checkout did you go? I had to get to the final confirmation/shipping method selection page before I saw the price drop.
It did not work for me either. By adding the camera + 16gb memory into my cart I get a subtotal = $189.93
crap man, I just bought the SD790 at Costco for $169 with the free 2gb card this morning. The Amazon deal just isn't worth me driving back to Costco and returning what I got. Plus, sometimes it's just worth buying things in-store for that instant gratification ;)
Normally, I wouldn't agree with you 100%, because I don't usually mind the wait, but Amazon is showing the estimated arrival data for my camera and memory card as "December 29, 2008 - January 6, 2009." Ouch.
I can wait, though, since I already have a perfectly functional camera. =)
worked for me!
Got mine at the discount price, but the estimated shipping is showing as the first week of January.
I got it with the 8GB Kingston card, and the order update says it's shipping soon - and I just ordered it less than an hour ago.
Wow - thanks for the tip-off! My 8-year old has been begging for a camera, and here I was searching for a deal. Now I'll buy this one for myself and give him my old one.
thanks engadget! this deal came just in time for my Mexico City trip!!!
I was thinking of buying a new camera so I could donate my old one (SD440) to Skid Row. What a perfect excuse! Really, if we want the economy to get better, then us people who still have jobs and money need to spend. What better time than now while the prices are so low?

Total Before Tax: $159.94

This is too good of a deal
does anyone know how good of a camera this is? I was looking to pick up the SD1100, but for the same price I might just go with this.
Apparently the SD770 is a 10MP upgrade to the 8MP SD1100.
I just ordered with the 8GB card, but no luck -- Amazon charged extra for the card.
Why doesn't the 32GB not work?
They all work, but the 32GB, I wanted to get away with a 160$USD card for free... >:(
So..........Gary Coleman was the one that was playing the voice as the car......and who would of thought??? When I think of Cameras and 16gig sticks, I think of Hasselhoff. I think I would rather take the stick and shove it in my eye.......This is giving me hemmorroids, I think I will watch good times and watch time stand still. And Hopefully, Just Hopefully when I take a picture, the picture will come out unseen footage of night ryder that should of been left off of TV.
DID NOT WORK:
I just got the confirmation e-mail from amazon and it did not show the price drop.
Not working for me. Added both to cart, and placed the order about an hour ago. No discount was applied at any point, not even on the final invoice. Just canceled the order and emailed Amazon customer service.
