Everyone who knows you already knows you're a photographer right? I mean they see you with the camera all the time, they hear you talk about the quality of light, they see you rolling around on the ground to get the perfect angle for a shot. Just in case they forget or you're corresponding with someone new these Vintage Camera Note Cards will serve as a subtle, tasteful reminder of your passion.
Found in the course of working on my new venture Correspondence Notes

B&H is getting a jump on the annual day after Thanksgiving shopping rush by offering up a Pre-Black Friday Sale. Interesting deals include a Canon Digital Rebel XT with lens for $649.95 (1GB CF card included), Canon SD600 for $224.95 (1GB SD card included), Nikon D50 with lens for $549.95.
The war for the all mighty Holiday dollars has started in the camera department. Nikon launched a spirited attack last week with news of it's brand new D40 with a street price of $599.95 for body and lens Canon doesn't have a new camera to launch but that doesn't mean they're staying out of the game this holiday season. Instead they're dropping the price of their immensely popular digital Rebel XTi to $599.95 for the body or $699.95 for the body and lens kit. It's going to be a very merry Christmas for camera shoppers.
With a great headline, The Nikon Before Christmas, PopPhoto spilled the beans about Nikon's Select & Save Triple Rebate Program (PDF). They're offering some great rebates on lenses and flashes in particular. These are some really great deals if you or someone you love is in the market for some new gear this holiday season.

Aaron dropped word that B&H (one of my favorite camera gear spots) has an even better deal on the Digital Rebel XT than J&R. The B&H package includes a Sandisk 1GB Ultra II CompactFlash Card. Camera body, 18-55mm EF-S Lens and CF card sell for $794.95. Your $100 mail in rebate makes the total $794.95. It's an outstanding deal.
J&R Music and Computer World is currently running a fantastic special on the Canon Digital Rebel XT Kit (including 18-55mm Lens). Base price is $784.99, minus $100 Canon mail in rebate.
The "Cash In With Canon" mail in rebate campaign has returned. Rebates are good for select purchases made between April 1 and July 15, 2006. Though only two dslr bodies (Digital Rebel XT and 5D) qualify for rebates there is a good selection of lenses. If you're thinking about buying new glass why not buy in the next few months and get a rebate? (Rebate Form PDF)
Amazon.com has put together a handy list of qualified cameras, lenses, accessories and binoculars (?).
On my personal list of things I'd buy right now to score the rebates on, if I had the money?
Canon EF 50mm f1.4 It's a little extravagant since I already have the 50mm f1.8 but I still want it
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 This seems like a perfect portrait lens
Canon Speedlite 580EX Flash
