For those of you sitting on the fence about getting a copy of Adobe Lightroom, you might think about acting now – B&H is offering Lightroom at 50% off for 24 hours only. Unless you have access to the academic pricing, this is as low as I’ve seen the price go.

Canon Double-Rebates Offer Expiring This Weekend!
For Canon shooters looking to save a bit of money on certain bodies, lenses, and flashes… the current double rebate offer expires on Saturday, January 8. There are deals on individual items, but if you purchase lenses, etc. with one of several qualifying bodies the “instant rebate” becomes a lot more substantial.
A Visit to B&H: A Brief Report
I’m in New York City for business and pleasure and to do some photography. It turns out that I am staying about a ten-minute walk from the renowned B&H Superstore. Since this blog is a B&H affiliate and because I had recently been in touch with someone from B&H, I mentioned to them that I would be in the area… and was invited to take a tour.
I am going to write more about this later when I can type on something other than my iPad “virtual keyboard,” but I thought I’d share a few things today.
We started in a building close to the one housing the well-known store. My guides took me through several areas that you might not think about – several floors teeming with employees handling the technical aspects of their online presence and other information systems, and a floor where customer support takes place. (As I understand it, support desks are staffed by people who have expertise in particular product areas.)
Next we took a short walk over to the store. I had been there briefly the day before with my son, but I had missed a lot since the two of us had headed straight to areas of the store focusing on our individual interests. Today’s tour showed me much of what I had missed – for example a very impressive video studio facility. (To my brother Ed who is a video guy… you have to see this!) The range of products available is remarkable, both in terms of the types of gear (video, audio, computers, and, of course, cameras and related equipment) and the levels of equipment available – at one information/demonstration booth you could ask about and handle a $99 point and shoot camera… or the $6000 DSLR body about two feet away. You can also see and handle just about any tripod made, and the same holds true for a large range of other products.
As I mentioned above,there is much more to write about this, but I’m going to save more for later. For now I’ll end by thanking Yechiel and Herschel for a very complete and informative tour!

Countdown to End of Canon ‘Instant Savings” Pricing
About a week ago I pointed out that there were about two weeks remaining in the current Canon “Instant Savings” promotion that offers significant savings on a number of popular Canon DSLR lenses. Now there is less than one week remaining to take advantage of this. See my earlier post for more details including a list of included products. (There is also a link near the top of the sidebar on the left side of the page below the B&H graphic – if you purchase by clicking B&H links at my site you help support this blog… for which I thank you in advance!)
