Normally I won’t associate Dick Smith Electronics with “bargains”, but I saw this posted to a forum yesterday that DSE is selling Canon Powershot A610 for AUD$347 (RRP $499, cheapest at staticICE $383).

Apparently the same camera is selling for $350 at Harvey Norman, which is another place where I don’t consider to find bargains. Still cheaper than many other smaller retailers.

Powershot A610 (5MP, 4X optical) will definitely be my preference if I choose to buy a consumer digital camera in $300-400 price range. It is versatile, has lots of manual controls and can take good still shots, unlike our current camera (Casio Exilim EX-Z55) which we didn’t really choose it :(

Some reviews grabbed from our friend Google:
