Super-Duper HOT Sony DSC-W80 $149.99!!!

[Raddo]

Hey guys sorry I've been away for a little while but I'm back with a smokin' HOT deal!!! Just came back from shopping and tried to get the sony dsc-w80 from BB/FS (on sale for $199.99, down from $249.99) and they both don't have any in stock!!! So just by chance went to Sears and they got it there for $149.99!!! That's a smokin' HOT deal!!! The only catch is the sale is only for this weekend! (Sat. Jan 12 and Sun. Jan 13) So, if you're interested in getting a digital camera, definately check this deal out !@ sears! Very, Very HOT!!!:D

I ordered one, but I dont know if I really want a Sony.
hmmmmm.....decisions!!

PM @ stooples for roughly $141.99 off regular $229.82

[dealguy65]

anybody know how long Sears takes to ship? I would need to get it by this week, but I don't think I can make it to the physical store this weekend.

[JayWang]

damn, this is one the level of the SD1000 deal that was posted about a month ago.

i already have TWO digital cameras, yet this deal is sooo tempting

stupid RFD! :mad:

[Raddo]

sorry guys forgot to mention if you go get the camera at sears on sunday, you can save another $10 off if you get the early bird coupon they give out in the morning! tha's even cheaper than pm anywhere!!! total price (with coupon) to $139.99!!! now that's hotter than the sun on fire on a hot summer day!!!

[BigJimmyC]

Well, I can't comment on the overall quality of sony cameras, but the sears website says this camera has a Zeiss lens. I didn't know Zeiss made camera lenses, but Zeiss has a reputation for making spectacular binocular/telescope lenses. For $150 and a Zeiss lens, it sounds pretty good to me.

[jackboot]

Only downside to this nice camera is the stupid sony memory stick :(

[NewBuyer]

use 941612606 to have $15 off $150. I order one and come up with $152.xx tax in.

Me too! This coupon does reduce $15 off, you don't need any filler.

Subtotal $134.99
GST $6.75
PST $10.80
Grand Total (CDN) $152.54

Here's a review link from Dpreview. Pleasantly surprised to see a full length reviewhere (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyw80/page9.asp)

[dav1209]

with the coupon code... can't resit . Ordered one

On any Sony compact, Carl Zeiss doesn't do the manufacturing. Sony does - under CZ quality control. They are then allowed to stamp the CZ name onto the lens.

The W80 is a very good value, other than the proprietary Memory Stick. Image stabilization, decent quality build, small optical viewfinder, and overall pretty snappy performance. I don't really like how small some of the buttons are (the playback button being important), but there isn't a whole lot of room for anything else.

usually when they have those early bird coupons, it's $10off50, OR $20off100 (still the same 20% of discount)

in this case, you can use a $20off100 :)

[bellboy26]

with $20 off $100 this is a hot deal for Sheezzz, Hot regardless

[fatkinglet]

damn, pulled the trigger when i saw the $15 off ............

[NewBuyer]

If it is true, I will buy it tomorrow and cancel today's order to save $5.65. Thanks.

[dav1209]

If it is true, I will buy it tomorrow and cancel today's order to save $5.65. Thanks.

alot of trouble for $5.65

just go and check out tomorrow if you have time. And return this order if they giving you the $20 off $100

price was good and i can't pass up. I don't even need a Camera

[jerryybf]

Happens to have a 4GB MS card,

can't resist anymore, order one :cheesygri

[dealguy65]

crap, too good of a deal, damn you RFD!!! Just ordered on. Now I just have to figure out if I'm going to keep this for myself or give it as a present :-)

Any good deals on MS Pro Duo cards? (1 or 2 GB)

[Ilikethisdeal]

What's the coupon code for $20 off $150?

[ahsalloum]

What's the coupon code for $20 off $150?

Dude, it's in the first page.

Hot deal - nice find OP! Must resist, and I *need* a camera! Ahhhhhhh! :evil:

[sungfra]

Ordered. Thx OP. Really don't need another camera but can't resist a good deal.

[hrvatneah]

do you think there is a way to PM bestbuy or futureshop with printing off the screen of the final price with no shipping charges/in store pickup?? do they pricematch sears?? b/c then that would be a hot price

[ahsalloum]

If you use the coupon, PM is not really worth it. Actually, it costs more after PM, that is if it works with you.

[daffod]

PM with stooped for xmus purchase.still under 30 says. credited back to my CC

[hrvatneah]

If you use the coupon, PM is not really worth it. Actually, it costs more after PM, that is if it works with you.

im talking about if they will PM with the coupon price of $134.99

[sungfra]

im talking about if they will PM with the coupon price of $134.99

Possible but YMMV. Better chance to buy it from FS / BB first and get a price adjustment afterward with your receipt from Sears. May seem alot of work for a small diff.

[wamrage]

the sears site let me use the same coupon code twice - will they end up taking that off when the process the order?

[narula]

wamrage, which code did you use twice?

[rtrtrt]

wouldn't it be better to spend another $50 to buy a better and newer camera that's coming out?

[bellboy26]

wouldn't it be better to spend another $50 to buy a better and newer camera that's coming out?
of course you'll get something better for more money :lol:

[Raddo]

wouldn't it be better to spend another $50 to buy a better and newer camera that's coming out?

Yeah! Of course! And then when you're finally ready to buy, just ask yourself the same question, 'wouldn't it be better to spend another $50 to buy a better and newer camera that's coming out?' You'll be forever waiting!!! Take the plunge and go for it!:D For $150 you can't go that wrong!:D

[RRKnight]

Damn RFD did it to me again, couldn't resist for a nice small camera for $134.:D

[McMurphy]

I got the last one at Fairview Mall- Toronto earlier. Just after I got it 2 other people were looking for it. A great deal seeing that it has IS. Almost bought a DSCW55 last week for $199. $149 for a camera higher up the foodchain is a killer deal.

Sweet man! I'm glad you were able to score on this HOT deal!:D

seems to be unavailable online now? i tried to check it out but it says product unavailable just before the payment page...

[uoft]

With the 15 dollars off coupon and 4G MS PRO DUO card free from Rogers, I can't resist this deals.
I think it will be sold out tomorrow at local stores with the RDF effect. So order online while you can.
Thanks for the info.

[backcrack]

yep, looks like it's OOS online, or not available for some reason....

the one on the first page for 15$ off...

not sure how much i ended up taking off, it was 149 including shipping/taxes, etc.

[cache]

yep, looks like it's OOS online, or not available for some reason....

its OOS thanks to RFD... explains the love-hate relationship i have with RFD! anyone purchased one but don't need it? PM me and i'll buy it over from u.. need this for my trip in 2 weeks.

[wamrage]

Glad I got this before it went OOS

[uoft]

Glad I got this before it went OOS

Me too. Lucky for us.

[wikkid_bigshot]

Its out of stock. I guess its a good thing, the price made me trigger happy but I really dont need a digital camera :P

[narula]

hey uoft, how did you get a free 4gb memory stick from rogers?

not OOS for me, I just bought 6, pickup in Edmonton.

Anyone what to sell theirs? I missed it!

[narula]

6??????????

yah, one for myself, sister, gf, etc.... might have 1 or 2 extra so if someone on here is looking for one, you can PM me and buy it off of me. I'll be in Woodbridge, ON next week.

[Badman]

How good is this camera? Particularly with night shots?

[wamrage]

So I logged in to check my order history at sears and it shows up "unavailable" even though I received a confirmation number when I placed the order.

I called in and now I'm being told that the camera is out of stock and they did not get my order even though I got a confirmation number.

[sienna]

I pass

Rating Above Average

not a good camers at all.

from DPR

Conclusion - Cons
Slow, unreliable focus in low light
Combined effects of noise and noise reduction at high ISO's and in low light produces poor results
Noise reduction effects visible even at low ISO settings
Fiddly controls and fancy fade effects which make menus feel unresponsive
Screen is low res, has low refresh rate in low light and isn't that bright
Strong red-eye even with red-eye reduction mode
Fairly weak flash with fairly slow recycling
Multi AF can get confused in busy scenes and focus on the wrong area
Image stabilization doesn't seem particularly effective
HDTV output requires additional equipment
Minor issues with highlight clipping and color fringing and flare
Some corner/edge softness
No manual (custom) white balance

[ahsalloum]

Still in stock here. I'm tempted to buy it, but I've decided not to. I don't have a lot of money to spare now (I'm buying a new computer by Feb.), and if I want a camera I will wait for an equally hot deal on a better camera.

[DoctorJJ]

use 941612606 to have $15 off $150. I order one and come up with $152.xx tax in.

Is this for use on the sears website or to be used with staples after PM'ing ?

[ahsalloum]

Sears.

[CF777]

Is this camera compatible with a 4GB MS Pro Duo?

Where's the cheapest place to buy this memory stick right now?

[Derek]

Thanks and posted!

[RLP06]

I got one because everyone else said its hot, i have so much faith in you guys ;)

[kennaley]

Is this camera compatible with a 4GB MS Pro Duo?

It is compatible with MS pro duo up to 8G. So no problem.
I guess you need to search for the answer of the second question.:razz:

[darock_sayz]

Got one too, PM'd at FS as I had a gift card from them from another PM adventure a couple months ago. Initially, FS would not price match as they gave me the strict no online matching policy talk ;) Anyways, I got them to call Sears and they the Sears guy said 230, I told him to ring it in,149! and I was in price match heaven.

There are some mixed reviews on this camera, but I did some reading, I think you just need to have your settings adjusted carefully and you should be ok....we will see, anyone care to offer a review ? I think with any product you get negatives, but overall seems very positive.

Also - cheapest place to buy memory cards for this unit ?

[typo]

I got this same camera 2 days ago for $109.99 (open box) from bestbuy :lol:

Anyone else check their order status? They cancelled mine.

Anyone else check their order status? They cancelled mine.

Mine is "Order In Progress" and item is in stock. I ordered this afternoon.

[targle]

Doh! When I saw this deal posted I went out to the mall to take a look at the camera to see if it met my needs. I liked it enough to buy but figured I'd come home and buy it on-line with the $15 off $150 coupon... only to find out it's out of stock.

Can anyone confirm that they were able to buy this camera at a Sears store for $149.99?

Thanks.

i should start hunting for FS and BB openbox stuff, i got a lot of GC for christmas

[enzojr]

Dang it, bought the same camera from Black's Online for $169 + $15 shipping a while back. Didn't see the ad in the weekly flyers so the online printout will have to suffice. Gotta run down to Black's to get a PM before the sale is over!

[DynomiteHunter]

it shows instock for me
but i dont understand how you get the 20$ discount?! O.O

i am able to use the 941612606 $15 discount though

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

This is hot....however I still continue to wait till someone shares the hottest deal. One of these days...

[RLP06]

u get a $20 discount for going to the store early tomorrow morning....

$15 for online....

i prefer to buy it online...
$5 isn't worth me waking up early

[Drthorne]

good deal, but I would never buy another Sony camera. I have a DSCW7 and got the popular lens error problem, lucky it was under warranty. 6 months after warranty it happens again. Sony wants to charge me $200 to fix it. Seems to be a common problem with the DSCW80 also

[realize]

u get a $20 discount for going to the store early tomorrow morning....

$15 for online....

i prefer to buy it online...
$5 isn't worth me waking up early

where do u get this info about $20 discount for going into the store? cause iam looking at all there flyers and it only say first 200 peeps get $2.00 gas coupon for petro-can...nothing about $20 discount

=/

[to_munda]

Still available on line in GTA. Just ordered another one with the coupon (The one I ordered earlier was w/o the coupon).
Will cancel the earlier order later.
Thx OP & for the coupon code .

Thanks!

Ended up buying one in store [Richmond Centre, BC] this afternoon for 149.99 + tax.

Tried to talk the rep into accepting the $15 off Sears.ca coupon but he wouldn't budge. Too bad I need the camera before my vacation next Friday and the earliest "pick up in store" date isn't until the 21st. Oh well...

[wamrage]

Got one. Stupid reps on the phone said my previous order was canceled so I had to re-order.

I think its still available online in BC, i tried it recently and it seemed to work, what u can do is print off the order form where its gives you the price quote 134.99 total price 153.xx. Then take it to staples and price match it. Did it tonight 2 get 2 units (in Victoria). And if they tell you that they can only price match 149.99 and not the coupon price of 134.99, then tell them no where on their site does it says they do not except coupon offers or promotions. The CSR told me that they can't do it because it is a coupon price. Once i told him check out your site, you policy doesnt say it, then they honoured it and sold it for 134.99. Just a tip if u really need the camera in your hands soon!

[hrvatneah]

Thanks.

price protection through sears?? or??
is it something u have to mention so that u get it?? for how long is it good for?

[cko64]

For Alberta, it's $143.84 all in. Tempting. Although I already have Canon SD630, SD1000 and S5.

Another option to save some money is to also order it from their site and select pick up in store. When you returned from your holiday, pick up at store and return it with the old receipt.

[hauton]

not showing up for me....

everything is "pending" on checkout page, including the camera and the coupon... will it apply after I hit "place your order"? I don't want to be hit with $149.99+tax and have to cancel...

[yipkawai]

The coupon code 941612606 doesn't show any discount, it shows as "$0". What happened with that??

I brought a printout of the Sears web price in to a Black's store but they said they couldn't match web prices.

[targle]

The coupon code 941612606 doesn't show any discount, it shows as "$0". What happened with that??

I tried out one of the Sears.ca coupons listed in the "Coupon" section that's supposed to give $20 off $200 (I'm buying something else too) and it doesn't work either. Looks like the coupons are for "Boxing Week".

[warthunder2k]

Any other coupon that we can use?

out of stock, too.

I finally just ened up going to my local Sears store to get it at $149.99 The guy at first tells me he didn't have any more in stock. Then he told to to wait a minute, went in the backstore and low and behold he pulled out two while I was there. Guess they had reserved them but the people didn't pick them up. I also bought the little Sony case for $14.99

[Raddo]

I just got up guys and thought I'd bump my own thread! Remember, if you go in early to sears today, you can get the early bird coupon and save additional $10-$20 off the price of the camera $149.99-10= $139.99 or even 149.99-20=$129.99!!! Feelin' HOT, HOT, HOT!!!:D

Good deal.

My store opened at 8:00am (Place Vertu in Ville St-Laurent) but they were only handing out $2.00 Petro Canada cards

[McMurphy]

Why is this on sale for so much at Sears of all places - any other good finds during this sale?

On my way out I saw some great deals on home theatres. A low-end Curtis for $69.99, Zenith for $99.99, and Sony for $149.99.

[Raddo]

hey guys I'm off to sears to see if I can score an early bird coupon, I'll let you guys know exactly how much it is when I get back:D

[Takada]

Wow... this is a HOT deal. I've been eyeing this camera for a while now but it's always been on sale for $200 at the least, and I already have a free 8GB MS card! Too bad I already have 2 cameras though, since this thing has everything I would want, especially out of this price range! Optical image stabilization, decent speeds, and similar image quality to my Canon SD1000. I actually prefer the Sony's pictures more looking at the samples on Dpreview. They use more aggressive noise reduction and more sharpening/bold colours, which I prefer.

[luckydog2006]

I thought this camera would be nice but I need a camera that can take night shots well. When I checked the review, it said that night shots were not great. I'll have to keep on searching.

[Takada]

I thought this camera would be nice but I need a camera that can take night shots well. When I checked the review, it said that night shots were not great. I'll have to keep on searching.

If you want a camera that can take good night shots, your only option from point and shoot cameras is the Fujifilm FinePix F31fd. Though I do think this W80 would take better night shots than my SD1000 because it has more noise reduction (at the expense of detail).

[nonlinear]

Went to Sears this morning, was able to use two early bird coupons for $10 off $50. Had to ask the store manager though about being able to use two, the guys at the electronics department weren't sure. Total came to $146.89 tax in. Excellent deal, thanks OP!

By the way, there were about 8 left at Sherway when I left about half an hour ago.

That's a great score man! I was told that the $10 off coupon was not applicable to home electronics! I knew it was a scam! Atleast you were able to score a great deal I'm glad!:D

[Lando]

I just phoned and was told the Sears price was $199 in store, but if I saw it for $149 in a flyer or online that it was only available through that.

Thanks Takada! Your recommendation really helps. I'll look for this brand and check the models from Fuji to replace my older Nikon digi camera.

[targle]

Just got back from a trip to the Sears store at Carlingwood Mall in Ottawa. We were there when the store opened at 10am and my wife and I each got a $10 off $50 coupon.

We headed directly to the electronics section and I was the first person served. About 2 seconds after I got to the counter another guy (probably an RFD'er too) was right behind me. We got the last two W80s in the store. Total price, $158.19.

Hopefully it's a decent camera! :)

[nonlinear]

Some people have asked me for a scan of the receipt, so here it is:

Good luck.

[laurentbm]

I ordered this camera for my folks. I hope they get it and the order isn't cancelled.

So I start looking for a Sony 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo to go with this camera. Cruising the web shows that most places have it for $40ish, with some places more (e.g., FS/BB at ~$50) and some places less (e.g., Canada Computers at ~$30).

It turns out Staples.ca has it at $19.97:

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=607490&AffixedCode=WW

but it is (for me) OOS, of course.

However, I had a store manager meet that price for one I found in-store (SKU 607490).

so has everyone been getting silver or has there been other colours available at different locations (black, pink)?

So I start looking for a Sony 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo to go with this camera. Cruising the web shows that most places have it for $40ish, with some places more (e.g., FS/BB at ~$50) and some places less (e.g., Canada Computers at ~$30).

It turns out Staples.ca has it at $19.97:

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=607490&AffixedCode=WW

but it is (for me) OOS, of course.

However, I had a store manager meet that price for one I found in-store (SKU 607490).

Dude you can buy that now for 15 bucks. And 2 gigs are like 30 bucks
and 4 gigs are 40-50 bucks. just browse on BST

Some people have asked me for a scan of the receipt, so here it is:

Good luck.

Thanks nonlinear! I just got back from sherway and got it for the 149.99-$20 ($10x2). The sales guys there tried to pull that 'not on home electronics' crap on me but I whipped out your copy of the receipt and stuck it to them like crazy-glue-gum! Thanks for posting your receipt, it really helped out alot!:D

[jabbilabbi]

Got one for my parents.

Picked up a 2 gig Sony Memory Stick PRO duo HIGH SPEED on eBay for 25 US shipping included.

I used the 10 dollar off online coupon code for the cameras.

Great deal. Nice find OP.

To those that have one of these - do you know if you can zoom while video recording?

My old WSC5 had to pause video to zoom in/out, it would sure be nice if you could do it while recording.

But in low light the W80's performance is much patchier - not because its image quality is particularly poor (it's roughly on a par with all the other 7 or 8MP ultra compacts), but because the focus system, weak flash, slow lens and unimpressive screen (which gets very laggy and grainy in low light) make getting a good shot indoors a challenge

[voided]

Only downside to this nice camera is the stupid sony memory stick :(

kept me from buying one time and time again

[Mr_A]

btw ... I think camera is sold out .. online atleast as I was not able to put the order, it said the item is not available.

[Lando]

Does this deal end today?

[enzojr]

Glad I was able to pricematch at Black's today (I bought it at Black's online for $169 + $15 shipping on Dec 30 thinking that the price won't come down much more after the new year). The lady at Black's had to be convinced that price matching is valid but I like to consider myself as being pretty good at arguing over fine print :cheesygri Luckily Sears wasn't only offering the deal online but also in the store.

My final price from Black's was $149 + $15 shipping (that was a total ripoff) + tax. Not as good of a deal as many of you got, but still a decent one.

hey man for sure! I'm glad you were able to score one of these bad boys!:D

I went today to Staples, after calling and putting one on hold. It was the Sheppard and McCowan store. I tried to price match after the receipt posted here for 129$ but they wouldn't budge. I also tried some online codes and they did not work, they were invalid. Afterall... I paid 142.xx +tax (149-10% diff). Not bad. I'm going to buy a new 2GB memory stick, saw them for 29.99$. Also, the only downside I'm having with this camera is the battery charger. Is there any way of charging this camera through some sort of cable so I don't have to take the battery out to charge it. I read online that it has a docking station that also charges... any more info on that?

[dealguy65]

Anybody having any luck seeing the status of their order on the Sears.ca website? I received order confirmation on Saturday right after I bought it, but when I go to the website, and click on my account, then order history it says:

"Your order history is not available at this time. Please check back later."

I want to order a Memory Card, but not if they might cancel my order.

[tailcone]

I'm like u, kept getting the same message online. So, i called customer service and she confirmed my order was in process and should be available on the 17th. Bought my memory stick on Ebay last night, Managed to score a 2GB Sony :lol: for $26 (shipping included)

Where did u see a 2 GB memory stick for $29.99?

[04BlkVibe]

Saw a similar camera at Costco in Markham (Woodbine and Hwy 7). I don't recall the model #, but it looks the same as the Sears one, and it's a 7.2Mega Pixel as well.

Seems like a good deal for $139.99 and w/ Costco's return policy...

It might be the same features without the Carl Zeiss lens. I forgot the model number.

[esq05]

Theres the w50, w55 which were previous models, could have been those.

I ordered it online last Sunday from Sears.ca and I just have received an email saying that the product is unavailable.

This is where eBay rules. Memory sticks and the like are always MUCH cheaper on eBay and quality is guaranteed when you buy from dealers with tens of thousands of satisfied buyers.

Here is the same 4GB Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo (+ adapter) for $44 shipped, 99.7% satisfied customers, and no duties likely.

Only thing is on ebay there are tons of fake pro duos. So buyer beware.
I had some trouble formatting a 1gig pro duo on a childs psp (would only format to 32MB). I took it to the guy who unbricked the psp. He told me it was a fake pro duo, coincidentally he had purchased a fake one too. google to learn about fake pro duo identifiers.

I got an email today that the order was cancelled as it is OOS.
:mad:

[dealguy65]

I bought mine on Saturday, but haven't gotten an email saying it is OOS yet....and the Sears people don't know anything either when you call them.

For the people who have received an emailing saying their order is canceled, when did you put your order through?

I ordered 2 cameras on Sat
First without the $15 off coupon
Second with the coupon
and then I called in to cancel the first order (Maybe a mistake. I shud have waited for confirmation be4 cancel).

[wamrage]

I am FUMING about this order.

I ordered once, my order was cancelled somehow and then it showed OOS.

I ordered again, got a confirmation number, chose a delivery date and everything. It was supposed to come to my office yesterday and it isn't here. I called sears and they told me when they went to ship it there were no more in stock so they had to cancel my order. What the **** is that?
