10.29.07 (2:39 pm)   [edit]

For the last year, I’ve kept all my Sent messages in my hotmail, and I kind of forgot. It’s too bad those messages have to be manually deleted. I deleted over 2000 messages, which was 4 MB worth of e-mail.

I think my digital camera has finally died. I can take photos with it, but the photos don’t get saved, and it tells me there’s a memory card error. This has happened with different memory cards, so I know it’s the one card that I always use.

So…I’m definitely buying a new camera this month. I’d like to go into a store and buy one when I’m in Washington in a couple of weeks, or buy one online and have it shipped to a package receiving service there. Personally, I would forgo the savings to buy something like a digital camera when I’m not in my home country, just in case anything happens to it or it doesn’t work properly. Mailing returns is a huge hassle, especially with electronics!

Anyway, shipping to Canada from the US is not cheap. I live fairly close to the Canada-US border, and it is not a huge trek to cross the border. There are services just across the border where you can have your mail orders delivered there for a small fee. This fee is less than the cost of international shipping. So sometimes, you can save a whole lotta dough if you buy something online and the deal is only applicable to Americans.

But back to cameras, does anyone out there have any recommendations for places that sell consumer electronics? Right now, I have my eye on the Canon SD850, SD870 or SD950.

You can try Staples, WalMart (they have low prices), Best Buy or Circuit City.

I bought mine here at London Drugs of all places but as for the states, I can't be of much help! Sorry!

I've already checked out the Best Buy and Circuit City Web sites! At this point, any price in the US would be cheaper than the Canadian prices for the cameras I am interested in :D Hurrah!

Thanks for your input! I checked out the London Drugs' Web site, and their camera prices are quite high compared to what you can get in the States right now!
