I Won A Camera!!!

[Ladskater]

I won a camera on the Safeway Score and Win the other night! The Canucks played a game in Pheonix and apparantley my name was read out on tv that I had won a prize after the powerplay. I don't even watch hockey so I did not learn of this until the next day - a couple of friends left messages on our phone and my husband heard about it at work through his coworkers.

Was I ever surprised to learn I won a prize!!!!

[Ladskater]

A Cassio Digital Camera. It's worth a couple of hundred dollars.

Congrats! Lad do you guys in Canada have to pay taxes on anything that your win?

 

[Grgranny]

Sure happy for you.

 

[CzarinaAnya]

That's cool. Congrats.

I need to get one, but not sure what kind.

 

[Tonichelle]

go for canon, Annie!

 

[CzarinaAnya]

haha Thanks, Toni.

 

[Tonichelle]

seriously, though, canon point and shoots are probably the best out there for the $$ you spend. and their customer service is rated #1

 

[CzarinaAnya]

I'm on a budget, tho.
Just want one that takes clear pics and short movies.

Thanks Toni. When I go shopping I'll keep that tucked away for future reference.

Annie - canon powershots are pretty inexpensive... which is another great thing about them...

but go to a camera store (not wal-mart!) and play around with the different cameras and talk to one of the camera guys there... make sure you find one that fits... then if you can find it cheaper online or at wal-mart go for it... but definitely play around and see your options.

my first digital camera was a powershot... it's totally ancient now, but it was a great first camera

I still shoot film and scan with a Nikon 35mm film scanner. I like the look of film even though it's more work.

[Tonichelle]

if I could afford it, I'd work with film... just can't seem to make it work though

 

[jp1andonly]

no, in Canada you DO NOT pay taxes. Thats why when you win the lottery you get exactly how much the pot was worth

Ewwwww....I hope not!!!!!

 

[dlkksk8fan]

Ewwwww....I hope not!!!!!

You are lucky that you don't have to pay any taxes. Anything that we win here, we owe taxes.

Well, circuit city is going out of business, so I may check over there. My limit is around 50 bucks, but I'm super good at finding deals, so you never know.

Just make sure you realize there will be no guarantees when a business goes out like that, except for the manufacturer's guarantee.
