Default cheapest place to buy new a95 canon? beachcamera.com?

im looking to buy a a95 asap, but want to find the best deal. i was reading the canon powershot thread and a few people said that the a95 was only like $250 on beachcamera.com, but on the site it says like $369. im quite confused, but am still searching. if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated(sp?)! are the "factory refurbished" ones any good off of ebay? anyone got any experience w/ them? thanks

adam

just because jobe took amazing pics with the a95 doesnt mean everybody else can.
they were discontinued for a reason. if the camera was that good, then why would canon stop making them.

I'd get the a95, for the price it's a good camera. I used to have one but sold it and now have a g6
