I did some price comparisons to some other stores and found the same Blackberry 32GB Playbook at Sears Canada on sale for $399.99. That is $80 more than the sale price at The Source Canada.  These Playbooks were very popular at Christmas time and were selling out fast.  I noticed that a few of the different playbook bundle deals were sold out already so if you are interested in this deal make sure you check it out sooner rather than later.

The Source Canada has an awesome deal on right now for one of their camcorders. Get this Canon VIXIA HF-R100 HD flash digital camcorder for just $219.96 (regular price is $559.99).  That is a savings of $330.03!

• Shop this deal at The Source Canada (Expired)

Here are some of the features of this camcorder:

• Flash digital camcorder
• 2.7″ LCD screen
• 20x Optical Zoom and 400x Digital Zoom
• Smart auto, program, cine, portrait, sports, snow, beach, sunset, night scene, low light, spotlight and fireworks recording modes
• Face detection and image stabilization

Now that I have kids I love having my camcorder handy.  I know my parents also have their’s on hand for when the grand-kids come over.  It is such a useful device to have nowadays to save those special moments.  I know a lot of phones have recording videos now but it doesn’t compare to the quality you get with a camcorder.

Even though something is on sale, that doesn’t mean it is the best price.  I looked around on other website that had the exact same camcorder and found it at Amazon on sale for $329.99.  I also found it at Only Camcorders for $283.16 (US) and at Buy.com for $459.78.  So basically the deal at The Source Canada is a fantastic deal for just $219.96!

The Source Canada has a great deal on their Casio digital camera right now.  It is on sale for just $169.96 (regular price is $299.99).  This offer is for a limited time only.

• Get this deal from The Source

This camera has some cool features:

• Waterproof, freezeproof, dustproof
• Shock-resistant
• Make movies in AVI format
• Face detection and red-eye reduction
• 3x Optical Zoom and 4x Digital Zoom
• comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery
• Intelligent Auto Focus, 35.7 MB built-in flash memory (after formatting) and a self-timer

I think that this camera is cool that it is also waterproof.  I can’t count how many times I have wanted to take pictures at the beach or at a pool party or boating and I was afraid my camera would get wet and ruined. I did some price comparisons and found the exact same camera at Best Buy for $229.99.  I also found it at Dell for just a few more pennies than The Source is offering. I also had a look at the customer reviews and this camera has an average rating of 4.1/5 stars (that was out of 10 different reviews).

Here is one of the customer reviews:

This is exactly what I hoped it would be. The features listed are all accurate. The battery lasted for 100 shots, even with lots of reviewing images and many photos taken with the flash. The settings in BS are great. I have used it in all kinds of lighting conditions, inside and out. It lives in my pocket when I am with my kids and in my tank bag on my bike. It was used to capture some great memories while climbing a mountain this season, fun times with my family, and some sweet memories. The macro is also amazing ; some of the first shots taken were flowers, and the tree was even moving in the breeze. For a dependable in your pocket robust camera – this is the one.

If you are on the hunt for a good quality camera with some extra features make sure you check out this one at The Source.

Here is a review submitted by a buyer that gave them a 5/5 review:

We charged and set it up and this is one great little unit!!! We use it out at the hot tub and the sound is awesome and can be heard over the sound of the jets….high quality for the price! It almost sounded better than my high priced built in speakers inside the house.

These speakers have a cool look to them rather than just the ordinary square speakers.  I love that they are round instead.  These speakers are wireless and fully rechargeable so no need to worry about batteries.  They include a 3.5mm cable and an adapter for the transmitter.

I like items like this because my family likes to camp.  These would be awesome to take camping because they are wireless and waterproof.  You don’t need to worry about this kids or dogs running around and knocking it over while you are outside with food and drinks.

I like that The Source Canada offer special deals for us online shoppers to take advantage of.  I am excited about this sale because I just got a new iPhone and included in this sale are many iPhone cases.  I like this Otterbox Defender series iPhone case on sale for $49.99 (regular price is $69.99). It is more unique than the typical black case because it is grey and pink in colour.  Also on my wish list is definitely this GnarlyFish armband for iPod on sale for just $14.99 (regular price is $24.99).  These armbands are awesome for running, taking the kids to the park or walking the dogs outside.  They enable you to be hands free while listening to your favorite music.

We desperately need a new camera and this one is at the top of my wish list especially at this great price! The Source has a trade in program – my current camera’s trade in value is only $13! I guess I’ll be passing it along to the kids instead of trading in.

There have been a LOT of deals on the Blackberry Playbook over Christmas and the Boxing Week sales. I’m sharing details of another one now, but it’s a bundle this time – the 16GB Blackberry Playbook and a leather convertible case, for only $224.87 at The Source Canada online.

• Click here to get the Playbook bundle @ The Source

For $224.87, you’re getting the 16GB Blackberry Playbook tablet computer, plus a leather convertible case. The case alone retails for $50, and the tablet for $200+, so it’s definitely a good deal if you’re looking for both a tablet and a case.

For those of you yet to jump on the tablet bandwagon, you won’t regret it. I bought an iPad about a year ago, and I wasn’t suspecting that it would become such a large part of my life. My iPad goes everywhere with me; to cafés, when visiting family, and when visiting the restroom! While I don’t use it for “work” purposes very much (other than checking on Bargainmoose when I need to), I find it is more of an entertainment device. I mainly use it for watching shows, playing games, etc. I reckon you’d be the same, if you bought a Blackberry playbook.

The leather case that comes in this Playbook bundle looks suspiciously similar to the iPad smart cover too…

Don’t forget that you can order online from the Source, and collect at your local store for free (or pay extra for shipping).

The Source Canada has both the black and the white Monster Beats Solo Headphones by Dr Dre on sale for $129.99 (orig. $219.99, reg. $199.99) this Boxing Week. This is a pretty good price considering the popularity of these headphones and competitor’s prices.

• Get the Monster Beats in White

• Enjoy the Black Monster Beats

I price compared with Dell Canada – who has these listed for $179.99. Future Shop has them on sale for $149.99. Still, The Source’s price is better.

Here are a couple reviews:

Son always wanted a pair of these headphones. He is very happy with them. Really cuts down on outside noise. He states they are very comfortable and loves the sound. Will definately be getting a pair for my daughter soon.

at first I was a bit sceptical but wow, as soon as I put them on I was impressed and the sound quality is incredible, although it is a bit pricey it is definitely worth it

Sale ends 31st, December 2011.

Don’t forget to check out all the deals on our Boxing Day sales dashboard, and The Source’s Boxing Day page.

The Boxing Week deals are still going strong, with many stores adding new products into the mix today. Over on the forums, we’re still seeing hot products being posted, and here are some examples.

• Silver KitchenAid Convection Countertop Oven - $85 @ Amazon

Bargainmoose Alanna posted a deal for the Silver KitchenAid Convection Countertop Oven which was originally $189.99 at Amazon. When Alanna first posted the deal it was $95, but has had a further price drop to only $85 now, with free super saver shipping too! Kitchenaid is a super brand name for kitchen appliances, in my opinion – really good quality, and this is good value too.

Mooser Meggie found a sweet deal on the Naturalizer Tonya2 handbag. The regular price was $69, but with the further 20% off sale items from Naturalizer, and the coupon code NATCA10, you can get it for only $21.59. Cute purse! A few black purses really are staples in my wardrobe…
