I spent a bit of time hunting around looking at deals and rebates on B&H’s web page and found a couple of good things.
- There are a slew of Mirrorless Cameras including our very highly rated Sony NEX C3.
- A whole load of Canon DSLR rebates on 5D Mk IIs, 7Ds and others. But there are rebates on DSLRs, lenses, flashes, and macro-lights, in general too.
- If you’re more into lighting: there are over 120 items available with rebates right now; plus modifiers!

The Canon 5D Mk III has been announced, and while it is quite the powerhouse there are photographers that wouldn’t necessarily upgrade or go right for it. Indeed, the 5D Mk II is still an excellent purchase. But as photographers, we all have upgrade envy at times. We don’t need to upgrade our cameras though.
We’ve said this mantra many times and we’ll say it again: your lenses and lights will outlive and perform the life of your camera. Besides taking courses, a way to step up is to consider lighting and lenses. Here’s a complete list of products to consider if you’re considering upgrading. Chances are that they won’t break the bank either.

I’ve been saving every single penny for a new camera. What I want is a second body to go along with my D90 for street photography and events.

When it came to lenses, however, I had some serious issues with it. When Pentax recently announced the K-01 the first thought I had was, “They got it right!” [click to continue…]

I’m the new guy here at The Phoblographer, so it’s time I inaugurate myself by explaining exactly what I carry with me when I go out shooting.
I’ve been taking pictures since I was a kid, but only recently have I taken the time to evaluate my gear and shape my camera bag around exactly the type of photographs I’m taking. Having moved to Los Angeles recently, street photography seemed like an obvious transition for me. I fell in love with it, and it is now my primary style of shooting. I’ve now molded my gear around my needs, and while very simple, it handles just about anything I can throw at it. Let’s take a look!
