UPDATE 12/18/2006 This item was selling out too fast, so Ritz has raised the price — the site price is now $100, qualifying it for Paypal’s "$25 Off of $100" offer. Final price: $75.00
FujiFilm Finepix A400 4MP Digital Camera for $59.99 $75.00 – No rebate
For a limited time, Ritz Camera online is offering a FujiFilm Finepix A400 digital camera for $79.99 $100.00, which translates to $59.99 $75.00 with the $20 that Google kicks in $25 that Paypal kicks in if you use Google Checkout Paypal to pay for your purchase.
While obviously not a top-of-the-line digital SLR, the 4-megapixel Finepix A400 is a quality camera for day-to-day use, and is an incredible bargain at this price.
The A400 has a sleek body with a metallic finish. The 1.8-inch LCD monitor is bright and covered by an anti-glare coating. The built-in lens gives you 3X optical and 3.6X digital zoom capabilities. The camera comes with 12MB of internal memory, and takes a standard xD memory cards to add the additional memory that you will definitely need.
The quantity on this deal is very limited, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. So if this interests you at all as a last-minute Christmas present or stocking stuffer, hurry to the Finepix A400 product page at RitzCamera.com

Great Prices Epson and HP Photo Printers
If you are interested in getting a photo-quality inkjet printer, Ritz Camera has some price reductions and rebates that can nab you a printer for nothing or next-to-nothing:
The Hewlett-Packard Photosmart 385 is a compact (4" wide) photo printer that can print borderless 4×6 photos, 4×8 photocards or 4×12 panoramic shots at up to 4800×1200 dpi. With a pop-up 2.5-inch LCD screen, you can apply effects and print directly from memory cards.
This printer is $129.00, but with a $29.99 instant rebate and a $50 mail-in rebate, the price goes down to $50.00. If you purchase a digital camera at the same time (4 megapixels or more), an additional $50 rebate applies, bringing the price of the HP Photosmart 385 to ZERO. (NOTE: Make sure you send in BOTH rebate forms.) Even better, if you use Google Checkout to pay for your order by December 19th, they kick in $20 with their $20 off of $50 promotion, letting you get a free photo printer AND put $20 in your pocket as well.

The price for this printer is $89.99, and a $50 mail-in rebate reduces this to $39.99. Again, if you use Google Checkout to pay for this purchase (thru Dec 19, 2006), your final price is only $19.99 for an excellent photo and CD/DVD printer.

Update: The price has been lowered on Nov 3rd at RitzCamera.com; it is now $2048.00 before rebate and $1948.00 after.
Other sites that meet or beat this price (As of 11/03/2006):
TVAuthority: $1945.00 (shopping cart price) However, their shipping within the U.S. is $60 higher, making the difference less
Prices for plasma TVs keep coming down, and leading the pack today is RitzCamera.com. In their electronics store, they are offering a 50-inch Panasonic Plasma TV TH50PH9UK (Progressive Wide Panel Display) for $2099, which is reduced further to $1999 after the $100 rebate (good until 12/31/2006).
This HDTV has a lot going for it for an extremely attractive price. The Panasonic TH-50PH9UK offers the highest levels of brightness, color gradation and 10000:1 contrast.
Flexibility is this product’s middle name; the 16:9 aspect ratio makes this television perfect for movie buffs. It offers HDMI via an optional terminal board, while the built-in analog video/audio and S-video connectors give the benefits of plasma to those who don’t have true digital satellite or cable signals piped into their home yet. The 15-pin PC connectors qualify the Panasonic TH-50PH9UK to be used as a "make-your-friends-jealous," wide-screen computer monitor (up to 1366 x 768) as part of an ultimate gaming system.

Free After Rebate! Thru Oct 31, 2006
Good for up to 3 PC’s…
I am always really happy when I can find a tech deal that ends up costing nothing. (Of course, these deals are always “after rebate” freebies, so if you don’t like rebates, don’t trust rebates, or if rebates are too much of a hassle, this deal isn’t for you.)
When I was writing yesterday’s tech deal about the $4.99 1GB Memorex flash drive, I noticed that the CA Internet Security Suite was bundled with several different products on TigerDirect, as well as being offered separately for a net price of $0.00. Computer Associates is really serious about breaking into the Home & Home Office software market, so through the end of October 2006 they are offering to rebate the entire price of their CA Internet Security Suite if you upgrade from a previous version or switch over from a competitor’s product.
Although I haven’t personally used this suite, I am very familiar with CA software. In my ol’ mainframe days, we relied on Computer Associates’ software to give us access and control with utilities that IBM didn’t supply (or didn’t build as well). High-quality software has always been CA’s mainstay.
The Computer Associates Internet Security Suite is a direct competitor to Symantec’s Norton Internet Security as well as McAfee’s products. It offers Anti-virus, Anti-spyware, a personal Firewall, and Parental Controls, just like the more popular Symantec products. The CA product, however, is a 3-user license; you can be legal for 3 PC’s with one package. The Internet Security Suite also has a unique guarantee from Computer Associates: With this product, CA is covering you for up to $1500 of damage caused by any virus that this program did not protect against, and up to $5000 of identity theft losses (related to addressing and cleaning up the identity theft) even if the loss was not caused by accessing personal information on your computer. (Jurisdictional restrictions apply… sorry New Yorkers. See the details on the product page.)
In the interest of full disclosure (and to prevent you from wasting time, if this isn’t a good match for you), please note the following:
- You can get the full rebate only if you upgrade from a previous version or switch over from a competitor’s product (See rebate terms for the details.)
- The product isn’t absolutely free. (That is, it’s not quite as good a deal as a five-finger discount.) Ground shipping will cost approximately $7.00 within the U.S.
- Florida, Illinois and North Carolina residents will have to pay state sales tax
