I got a price match for the blue one (no more greys) at Future Shop at Metrotown. As long as any staples have one at their store, regardless of color, then yes, they can honor the price.
Just make sure to be courteous when talking to the manager/employee. Future shop is loosing 50% of the camera's value just from the price match alone, so make sure you don't sound like a bitch.

Thanks. I don't really need a point and shoot but I'm quite tempted to pick one up just because of the price!

Camera's half-decent, but nothing special. Doesn't have wide angle. *sigh*

Went to Future Shop on Scott Road and asked them to price match Staples.
They wouldn't despite the North Van staples having one in stock... complete asses. So then I went to Bestbuy, and sawt hey had them for sale for $99. Finally got the bitches at futureshop to price match.
Took so much effort. They were not pleased.

Lens
Focal Length
6.2-18.6mm f/2.8-4.9 (35mm film equivalent: 35-105mm)
Number of Recording Pixels
Still Image: 3648 x 2736 (Large), 2816 x 2112 (Medium 1), 2272 x 1704 (Medium 2), 1600 x 1200 (Medium 3/Date Stamp), 640 x 480 (Small), 3648 x 2048 (Widescreen)
Movie: Standard Definition: 640 x 480 (30 fps), 320 x 240 (30 fps) <- all Letterbox resolutions last time I checked
Available up to 4GB or 60 min. per clip This thing does NOT have wide angle. They use a regular lens, change the aspect ratio to 16:9 "Widescreen" (which is for 1 resolution btw, and it can't even do widescreen or HD video), and ppl like you go running to the stores to clear out Canon's old inventory for them. The world needs more people like you 
Bottom line, the SD1200 is a standard 10MP camera. There's nothing special at all about the specs, other than maybe the D!GIC4 chip, which is found in all the current generation cameras anyways. If you bought a camera in the last 2 years, chances are this camera is a DOWNGRADE compared to what you have.
No thanks, not for me. I'm gonna buy the wide angle camera they put on the rack after all these SD1200s are gone.
