Cheaper Digital Cameras To Capture The Moment You Stop Paying Junior's Tuition
Digital Cameras & Camcorders | May 5, 06
Is there a prouder day in a parent's life than that of his or her child's graduation? You know, that special time when you can look you son or daughter in the eye and say, "well, kid, you're on your own". Now, thanks to a graduation season drop in the price of many digital cameras, you can inexpensively capture that moment of self-sufficiency in mult-megapixel clarity.
Just one example: the Canon PoweShot S2-IS, currently the most popular digital camera listed on PriceSCAN.com, with 2592 x 1944 max resolution, 5.0 megapixel image sensor, 12x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom, SD card storage, USB connectivity, movie capture, and a built-in flash. Over the holidays it was going for around $440 at the minimum, and today may be had for about $320, a drop of over 25% (see graph below). It's the same story with many models, so if you've got any cash left over from paying your offspring's way, you might even consider picking one up as a graduation present.
