Nikon D300s is cheap, getting cheaper

I snapped a Nikon D300s at amazon.com when I saw the price lowered to $1619.86 (with free shipping). The price on this terrific camera is falling. Great opportunity to get one if you, like me, have been eyeing it since it was introduced. Or, if your beat up Nikon D200 or Nikon D300 needs an [...]

I guess I was wrong about Keeble & Shucat

I found Photographic Solutions Eclipse E2 CCD Sensor Cleaner at Keeble & Shucat for cheaper than the cheapest price available online! I paid $8.30 (including taxes). It so happened I was not only one of the folks short on time to end up at that store, I also lucked out with the price. I wish [...]

Inexpensive Photo Organizer and Editor

Recently purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. I have previously used Photoshop Elements 5 and Photoshop Elements 6. Although the latest edition does not have any obvious, major improvements over the previous version, but for less than $45 (after $20 MIR) it is definitely worth the upgrade…for many smaller enhancements it has. For someone looking for [...]

Bumper Crop of Cool Digital Cameras

The past few weeks have been crazy with announcements from camera makers about the new cameras that are going to be launched shortly. Canon, Casio, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, etc. all are launching new products in the next month or two. Canon EOS 50D, Nikon D90, Nikon D700, Nikon Coolpix P6000, Olympus SP-565 UZ, etc. [...]

Securing Nikon D300 to Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap

(click on image to see higher resolution image)
Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap came free with the purchase of my Nikon D300 at Amazon.com. Reading customer reviews for this strap on Amazon.com, I was a bit concerned about using this strap—couple of reviewers mentioned likelihood of accidental release of the quick release buckles. Also I was not [...]

Opening Nikon D300 RAW Files in Photoshop Elements

Photoshop Elements 5 or Photoshop Elements 6 do not read Nikon D300 RAW files without updating the Camera Raw plugin. Searching for “camera raw update” in the search box at adobe.com brings separate links for Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter for Macintosh and Windows. The useful results show up near the top of the [...]

My Ex Shot My Current

Even before I got my D300, I was planning to dump my D50. My ex found someone on eBay yesterday. This was one of the last shots my ex made before being shipped out to the new owner. I miss my D50 but I am happy with my D300.

I paid $506 about 18 months ago [...]

My Nikon D300 Arrived Today!

See the smiley on the big box? That’s what is on my face now!! I came home from work this evening to find it at home, delivered within 48 hours of placing the order. I hope to take it out of the box and for a spin this weekend.

Nikon D300 for $1799.95 (incl s&h)!!!

I had heard about dynamic pricing during the dotcom boom. Not sure if I am the beneficiary of that but I got Nikon D300 body for $1799.95 (incl. s&h) at, in my opinion, the most trustworthy online retailer there is.

Since its debut late last month, most of the online stores have sold out their [...]

Buy Locally?

I went to Palo Alto the other day for a meeting and reached there early. Since I had time to kill, I went into Keeble & Shucat Photography store. Because I was in the store, I thought I should look for Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control for my Nikon D50. The price at the store [...]
