Nice compact camera for $229 total shipped. Black friday deal of the day on Amazon. if you add a Transcend 8GB SD card it will be added for free at checkout.

Been reading up on this camera for the past few days - this one sealed the "deal" for me. Gonna replace my ancient Sony DSC-W1. How did you find out about the free SD card? I didn't see the promotion listed anywhere on the page. I did, however add the second battery pack promo for $15.

Regardless, thanks for posting this!

Here is the link to add both camera and SD card, SD card discount id given during the checkout

There it is, thanks! Now I must shut down all things internet before temptation gets the best of me. Again.

to replace my s90 that has had a bit too much sand. A great deal!

Great deal! To bad I bought it for 80 more this summer. So it goes with technology...

Received this email from CANON 3July2012 for the S100 I purchased AND registered it with them....it paid to take the little time to fill out the card that came with the camera.

Thank you for using Canon products.

It has been confirmed that some PowerShot S100 digital cameras encounter a lens error caused by a disconnected part inside the camera. This announcement conveys the details of the issue and Canon's service policy for affected cameras.

(This is a report of what is ment by "lens error"....saw the dreaded "lens error" message on my S100. I found that the camera functioned normally otherwise, but I would get the "lens error" msg and the camera would shut down if I tried to zoom beyond the widest wide angle setting. After using the camera at its wide setting for the rest of my 2 week trip, on returning home, I found that the camera would zoom again, but had an unusual clunking noise when zooming out from a telephoto position. Has anyone else experienced this problem?)
