For Canon fans, we are sure the Canon 7D is right around the corner.

Where to Buy Digital Photography Software

If you haven’t figured it out already, the software makers websites are not the place to get the best deal.  It is strange to me that so many software makers sell the boxed version of the software themselves at full price and also in online retail channels at discount. For example, Adobe sells Photoshop Elements 7 for $99 in its US online store, but the same product is available for $79 at Amazon.com (it is actually $59 with a $20 rebate). It is similar situation for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2: $299.99 at Adobe store and $259.99 at Amazon. The examples are plenty and are not limited to Adobe. Nikon Capture NX2 full version is $179.95 at NikonMall but $137.38 at Amazon.

Sometimes the difference is insignificant and the scale may tip over to the other side in certain situations. Many software makers offer downloadable version of their software for a reduced price. If you need a software license code to unlock your expired trial version or you need the software right away and the trial version has limitations, the software maker’s online store can be a better choice. You pay online and get the license code in email within few minutes.

Are there better places than Amazon.com? I tried to google for some popular digital photography software. Most cheap offers are for academic version, which you cannot legally use unless you are an educator or a student. Others may not be trustworthy. Definitely checkout out the company or website at http://www.resellerratings.com before making a purchase from an online store you have not used.

Personally I won’t buy software from eBay. There is no good way of finding out if the software is genuine or pirated.

Canon Offers Instant Savings on Lenses and Flashes

Well, there is more bleak news lately. Consumers are clearly holding back on their spending. The camera gear  manufacturers are most likely nervous too. No government stimulus package for them, so they do themselves a favor by enticing us to buy.

Canon has just sent out an email newsletter about its instant saving deals on SLR lenses and flashes. The offer is valid between October 19, 2008 and January 17, 2009 at authorized Canon dealers. Check out the qualified products in this Canon flyer (PDF) or the image below (Click to view larger version).


If you are interested in digital camcorders, mail-in rebates are also offered for the XL2 and GL2 models.
