Adorama has this 4gb Kingston Compact Flash card from Kingston for 40.00, and then a 40.00 mail in rebate making it FREE.
Of course like many rebates you’ll have to wait a few weeks after you mail it in for your cash, but still it’s a great deal.
The deal expires on Feb 8th, and there’s a limit of one, but hey it’s 40 bucks!

The legend of lenses! Like Beowulf, or Hercules. But this one is real…
The Canon 1200mm f5.6 L lens. It came out in 1993, was dropped around 2005, and weighed over 35 pounds. It was an amazing piece of glass, but it would drain about 90 grand out of your checkbook.
Now those of you who want to really REACH OUT can have one your very own. The B&H used department has gotten their hands on one and it’s on their website for $99,000.00 No that’s not a typo.
How about that, a lens that goes up in value! B&H even tried it out, and did a review with samples.
Go ahead add this to your cart. We’ll even let you bring it over for a PPS quality test 🙂
(Thanks BMG)

This is an article Gavin wrote over at Seim Effects recently regarding Raw vs Jpeg and their usability with presets and good workflow techniques.
As a photographer I shoot in the RAW file format. I find more flexibility in post production, and ultimately a better image quality with less hassle. When I was still in the Jpeg camp, I was told to shot RAW mainly because it was faster to edit! While using Jpeg I never quite got it, and felt my Jpeg workflow worked fine. Then I tries RAW! I soon realized that it was not only faster, but also had better quality. Now I know there’s some debate on this issue, but I feel I can get great images easier with RAW because there’s more information on the file to work with. It just makes sense.
Having said all that there are still Jpeg shooters. In a poll on Pro Photo Show we found that raw shooters currently make up for about 75% of photographers towards the advanced and pro end of the market. Of course the closer you come to consumer shooters the more Jpeg you’ll see

Rumor no more. Today Pentax officially announced the K20D, and the K200D digital SLR’s.
The 20D with a 2.7″ live view screen, a 14.6 mp sensor dust removal, and iso 3200 it may not shake up the industry but does seem like a solid piece of gear for just about 1300.00
The 200d the 20D’s little brother still specs out with 10.2 mp, 2.7″ screen, and dust removal. You only get iso 1600 on this which seems a bit low for today market but at 800 bucks it again a pretty solid camera.
Pentax is also scheduled to launch some new lenses which is great since glass is so important. There not a Canon, or a Nikon but competition is great and they seem to be a growing force. If they can just advance their technology a touch faster they can really start putting heat on the bug boys!
