Go to techbargains.com. Go to the coupon section (upper middle, slightly left). Click. find the Dell small business discount. Enter Dell via the coupon. Enter in the Canon model you wish. The S30 is not there, but the G2, the 110, the 300, the G2 and the S40 are. You must place the item in the shopping cart to see the discount. Dell is an excellent company, but sometimes you have a long wait before you receive the camera. (However, I got my G2 ten days earlier than the ETA.)

I don't anything about Canon there. They talk about printers and computers, but no cameras.

I have tried this, but it won't show the discount after I place the G2 in the shopping cart. Am I doing something wrong? T.R.
 
I figured it out! But their regular price for the G2 is $899! Okay so you take off $179.80 and that equals $719.20, not counting shipping or tax. I wonder if this really is a deal?
 
I ordered from Dell using my Amex Blue card. If I find a cheaper price on line within 60 days, Amex will send me a check for the difference. You can trust Dell, even though the accessories department seems disorganized.
 
Just some friendly advise..

Yes Dell is good to order from but just remember that when you order through Dell's Small Business division there is a 15% restocking fee if you decide to return the camera for any reason other than it being defective.

If you order through the Home Division there is a 30 Day return policy.

The caveat is that each division has different discounts at different times.

Check under "Policies" on the Software and Peripherils page.

I spoke to soon. Centore seems to be a crappy company according to
resellersratings.com. So maybe the dell deal is a good thing?
Sure seems like a lot of money though.

I have a lot of experience with NY internet resellers, they are not box pushers, they know what they are selling, they're usually in the camera business, which makes them worst than real and honest box pushers (like buy.com or ecost.com my two favourites). NY companies operate from the backrooms of one of those camera-pilled shop windows you see in Manhattan, sometimes litterally. They sell the camera almost at loss because they make money off of the accessories and their bogus warranties, here's their tactics:

They advertise a hot camera below anyone's price. They don't have it in stock and they know they could hardly get any in stock, but they sell accessories 'compatible' with the camera. When you order the cam, and if you take accessories, the accessories ususlly ship immediately, but the cam is always on back order. You cannot return accessories, or there is a 10-15% restocking fee. They hook you with it.

How to detect these scammers? First off, use shopper.cnet.com, sort by Price, look at a the States, first 15 or so are from NY, they all have dinky names like love4digital and stuff. Visit their sites: they all look the same, it's spooky. There is 2 or 3 looks for these e-tailers, like they got their site shrink-wrapped from http://www.scumbagetailersite4you.com or something.

Next step after you place the order online: they call you back and do their pathetic sale gig. If you don't take any accessories, they become less than courteous all of a sudden, but the order stays... forever. It never ships. You call back 8 days later and ask for a status: "It's on backorder, bye". Although their site still says: "Stock=Yes"

Here's a dictionary to understand their stocking lingo:
  • "Stock=Yes" no way, we just want to push accessories and stuff to you. We'll eventually ship the thing within 2 months if we get some.
  • "Stock=Available" we don't have it but it enough people order, we might get some eventually in up to 3 weeks.
  • "Stock: ": icon says instock/2-3days/backorder: at least they are forthcoming, they usually don't lie.
  • "Stock: " n being a number: well, these might actually have some on hand...
This happened to me when I ordered my F707 for $849 (without accessories) and realised after a week it was a scam, I canceled and got it for $909 from sparco.com. I returned it BTW, and was on the lookout for a G2. I ordered from zerodelivery.com, pathetic experience described above, I canceled after 7 days of no-action, ordered from ecost for $754 yesterday and it's on its way already.
 
I purchased my G2 camera from the link below, of course they too are from NY, my camera came in about 7 days all the way to Hawaii and even during the anthrax stuff going on. New, sealed and a US warranty, in fact the price has dropped about $30 since then. I did take them up on some nice accessories they offered, all for a good price: UV/Polized, FL lens, lens adapter: metal (58mm) and an extended warranty by MACK; checked out the warranty company and all seemed in good standing. Good luck where ever you buy
