Canon A85 Camera    
Anyone have experience of this camera & where can I get it at the best
price?

Seen it on ebuyer for 145 inc. of VAT & Postage.

Any better?

I got it for 149.90 from Argos (with free camera case) about six weeks 
ago in their sale and am very pleased with it.

My guess is that that's about the cheapest you'll find it - although 
it's now officially discontinued (hence Argos getting rid of their 
stocks) so you might be lucky and find it elsewhere cheaper.

(Item 5602001 if you can track it down - my local store appears to have 
one in South Manchester, if that helps.)

last week - ad ran in all the major papers.
