A new Seminar

We are starting a couple of new Seminars next month

Our Seminars

Here's what a typical Delaware Camera Seminar Looks like...

sure it looks a little boring but you learn a lot! Maybe next time we'll take and upload a video!


Since it seems like there has been a huge outcry for it we are going to start having regular Digital SLR seminars. Since there is alot more information to be learned in these we will be limiting attendance to 10 people per class. We hope to have them at least once a month and we also hope to be adding seminars on different subjects such as Picasa, Lighting, Sports Photography and some others. If you have any ideas for the kinds of classes that we should have feel free to write me. My email address is mark@cameraspot.com.

Here is the Flyer for the Digital SLR Seminar
Thursday March 5th at our Delaware Ave Location

And a Flyer for Our Basic Seminar on Feb 24th at our Transit Road location

New official portrait released

Today we are releasing the new official portrait for President Barack Obama.

It was taken by Pete Souza, the newly-announced official White House photographer.

It is the first time that an official presidential portrait was taken with a digital camera.

You can see the portrait below, or click here to download a copy.

Instant Cameras are back

Well we have one Instant Camera back in stock and it is called the Fuji Instax 200.




"The Fujifilm Instax 200 Camera is a compact lightweight camera that uses the Fujifilm ISO 800 instant film to provide vivid, high-quality prints almost instantly. Its automatically-adjusting flash, high-resolution retracting lens and big clear viewfinder add up to excellent picture quality. Great for home use, outdoors, family occasions, and more.

The focus free lens is great for shots as close as 0.9', and the Auto flash is great for pictures in any light. combined with the use of the Instax film which carries a rating of ISO 800, this camera comes in very handy in low light scenarios. "

We've taken some test shots which you can come see in the store and the results were good. The quality is as good as if not better than the polaroid one step. The great thing about this is the picture is a "widescreen" format which is awesome in our HDTV world. The actual picture area is 2.5 x 4 which is a good size. There is even some space below the picture to write something if you wish.




We have a few of them in stock they sell for $59.99. A twin pack of film which will take 20 photos will set you back $24.99.

Nikon D700

Here is a little blurb that one of employees wrote about the D700 on our Flickr group a while ago.

"Nikon D700's came in today today, and we were absolutely blown away by how well it captured detail, and high ISO's. Anything in the 200-3200 range is completely usable for prints, probably even poster sized. The amount of detail the sensor is able to capture is beyond any thing I have seen, even in medium format film. It feels a bit larger than the D300, yet uses the same basic layout and a nearly identical menu system. So it remains as intuitive and easy to use as any of the other Nikon models.

We got a good sized Nikon shipment in today, and have a full line of professional full frame lenses in, including the new Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8, Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VR and the new Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 Micro.

And finally, SB-900's are in. With a huge zoom range from 17-200, and an even easier to use interface, but with even more features than the previous top of the line SB-800.

Stop in and try out some of this new gear, as well as the rest of the Nikon SLR and Coolpix lines, at either the Transit Rd, or Delaware Ave. location."

If the deal is too good to be true it probably is...

Not a day goes by where we get a request to match the price of an online vendor. Depending on the vendor we are sometimes able to match the price. There are legitimate stores like, Amazon, B&H, Adorama, Ritz etc. Then we have the "Rip Off" stores. The camera stores who sell products for half (or less ) of what we sell an item for. I won't name any names because I think that's slander but I will point you to this blog article in which this customer explains what happened to him when he dealt with an unscrupulous online vendor.

Abusive Bait and Switch Camera Store by Thomas Hawk

Mr. HAwk's article also references a PC World article called "Camera Confidential" which talks about the same subject.

Read these stories and don't get ripped off. And remember we do match legitimate advertised prices both local and on the web.
