Panasonic DMC-G1 Review at Luminous Landscape

November 29, 2008 By Eric Reagan

The Panasonic G1 is an appealing camera. It’s small size, light weight, and high image quality come together in a slightly pricey but basically affordable package.

Black Friday Digital Camera Deals

November 28, 2008 By Eric Reagan

There are a lot of great deals floating around in the digital camera world for Black Friday.  Ritz Camera, who offers free shipping and no sales tax as a standard, has some of the better deals that I’ve seen.

Ritz Camera Black Friday Deals Page

Ritz – Free Printer Offers

Ritz – Nikon D40 Digital SLR Two-Lens Bonus Outfit (18-55/55-200) – $549.98

Ritz – Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) – $579.99

Ritz – SanDisk 4GB Extreme III CF Memory Card BUY-3 THEN FREE REBATE OFFER – FREE (After Rebate)

Ritz – SanDisk 4GB Extreme III SD Memory Card BUY-3 THEN FREE REBATE OFFER – FREE (After Rebate)

Amazon Black Friday Deals – Includes deals like:

  • Buy a Pentax K20D, get a 12MP Pentax Optio A40 free
  • Nikon D200 for $799
  • Free 8GB memory card with certain Fuji cameras
  • Get 2 Free accessories with the Flip Mino HD (as an aside, I just bought one for myself and love it so far . . . hate that I missed the free accessories though)
  • Buy a lens, get a free Tiffen filter

Adorama Black Friday Deals Page – Actually, it’s pretty lame so far aside from a few good deals on some memory cards and point and shoot cameras. Hopefully, they will add some more.

Calumet Black Friday & Cyber Monday Page 11.26.08 thru 12.01.08 – Nothing really stands out here as a killer Black Friday deal. However, if you need some seamless paper, a muslin background or two, or are looking at their light control panel systems, then you’ll find these in the 15% – 25% off range.  Other than that, its pretty lame as far as the “door buster” type deals are concerned.

Dell Home Black Friday Deals Page – Some solid computer deals with laptops and desktops as low as $299, although don’t expect to push Photoshop too hard with the specs on these. However, some decent-spec’d desktops are in the $650 range. Not bad at all. The below SD1100 is the only digital camera deal at the moment, but check back with Dell throughout the weekend and into Cyber Monday for additional deals.

Dell – Black Friday Savings – Canon SD1100 Only $159.99 after $60 Instant Savings + free 4GB memory card!

Finally, if you are looking for shopping advice on for you photographically-inclined friend or family member, don’t miss Photography Bay’s Holiday Shopping Guide, which is packed full of the top recommendations in a variety of digital camera and accessory categories.

New Vincent Laforet Video with the Canon 5D Mark II

November 27, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Vincent Laforet has posted another video shot with the Canon 5D Mark II. Clearly, Laforet has developed a fondness for this new camera:

And I will admit this camera has brought me back the closest to the feeling I had at the age of 15 when I had my first camera and a few rolls of Tri-X to burn through. Simply put – it’s so much fun and pure.

Nikon D3x Leak

November 26, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Looks like someone posted the images of the Nikon D3x a little early.

Kudos to Nikon Rumors who picked up the images before they were removed, which apparently came shortly after NR’s post. Now you get this:

I suppose December 1 may be D-Day for Nikon after all.  Now, we just the to find out what the specs are…  Anyone?

Stay tuned to Photography Bay’s Nikon D3x coverage for the latest when the new camera drops.

Seagate Fall Photo Contest Top 10

November 25, 2008 By Eric Reagan

The contest is closed for further entries.  All I can say is “WOW” – there were some really awesome entries.  I had a terribly difficult time culling the entries down to the final 10.  If you look through the Photography Bay Group Pool, I’m sure you’ll find some that you think should be in here.  I went back and forth on several of these; however, I think all of these are fantastic “Fall” images that deserve to be in the top 10.
