Help finding a deal for a Canon S3, Canon SD 630 or a Canon SD700IS Camera?
Does anyone know where can I get the best deal for a Canon S3, Canon SD 630 or a Canon SD700IS Camera. I need to by all the three as gifts to my family for the holidays. Any coupons, rebates anything that makes the prices of these three cameras lower than the ussual.

If you have Costco membership, they are selling the SD630 for $260 and the SD700 for $310. If yu can wait a little and don't mind buy online, I'd highly recommend www.beachcamera.com. They have the 630 for $250 now and the 700 for $295. Their Fed Ex ground shipping (7-9 days, took me 4 days to CA) is free, and they don't charge sales tax except in NJ. It's one of the dependable online camera stores.
I don't know much about the S3.

I don't know if there is an Office Depot near you. Right now they have a $75 off deal off any camera above $200, and I think the 3 that you have in mind qualify. This is good Fri and Sat, in store only, and no raincheck. At the store near me, they had a few SD630s left, but they didn't carry the SD700 (but they have a SD800, the next model up).

I got the 700 a month or so ago an dlove it. I got mine through circuit city online when it was mistakenly put as 339...plus I had a 40 bucks off 200 dollar purchase coupon that I got on ebay for .99. Right now I believe the 700is has dropped down to 349 normally.

I'm not sure why you're buying three different Canon cameras for three different people on your list, but I'll be happy to become the 4th with a 4th different model if you want to go nuts. 
My only real advice is that if any of these don't have to be true Christmas presents (be it because you'll be exchanging late or because they're really for something like early birthdays), you might have good luck with the etailers immediately post-Christmas. I got what I considered to be a nice deal on the Panasonic camera I wanted last year the week after the holiday. I think I saved at least $50 off what it was selling for during the shopping season.
