For the online business (our blogs, webpages, social media, etc...) I bought a replacement camera for the one we've been using for a couple of years. You may recall that we got our current little P&S Olympus at Staples for no out of pocket, using rewards and rebates from purchases we were making anyways. That was a good deal.
Our new deal comes from Adorama. We decided on the Nikon CoolPix S30 (refurbished). One of the nicest parts of this deal is the warranty extension I got as a VIP customer (see last post). Instead of the regular 90 day refurb warranty, I have a full year and 90 days.
The camera is nice, too. It's a 10.1MP sensor, which is way more than enough for a point and shoot. I generally set my P&S to 6 to 8MP, just to have more storage capacity on the card. For online use, we don't even need that much.
The camera is waterproof to 3 meters and shockproof from a 1 meter fall. That's a really nice feature, since dropping a small camera can often mean no more pics at all.
Shop around their site, lots of good deals.
Can't wait to get it!!! Thank you Steve for the awesome shopping to get such a great deal!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your feedback on buying refubs from Adorama, Steve. I have 3 refurbs myself, and would never buy new again if a refurb is available - from a reputable retailer.....
ReplyDeleteGlad you are happy with the new Adorama VIP programme; I've copied your comments over the Adorama management team, and of course, to my colleague Ahron, who made the idea happen!

Thanks, Helen.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy used equip from Adorama back in my film days, so I was happy to be able to highlight you guys as an affiliate now that I'm all digital. The VIP extended warranty option you offered is an exceptional deal, I hope my readers see what a good thing that is.
I've purchased mostly Nikon refurbs (from several dealers), and with that warranty offer, I'll be shopping soon (at Adorama, of course) for a newer DSLR to replace my current one.
