Camera Talk

Posted in Cameras, Electronics, Photography, Shopping Tips at 4:00 am by Deb Savvy

Here’s something you might no have known about camera shopping. Did you know that RitzCamera.com , CameraWorld.com and WolfCamera.com are all actually owned by the same company? Yep. It’s true.

Clearance Deals at Wolfcamera.com Clearance 125x125

Why does this matter? For a couple of reasons. Their combined buying power is HUGE and allows them to deliver the best and newest products at some of the lowest prices around. It also means that when your order is shipped from one of the entities that does not have bricks and mortar stores in your area, you can likely avoid having to pay sales tax. And these day that can mean a lot. If you’re unlucky enough to live in Chicago, for example, that alone can save you more than 10% of the purchase price!

Create Your Own Photographic Masterpiece

Posted in Art, Discounts, Personalized Gifts, Photography, Unique Items at 5:13 pm by Deb Savvy

I love this idea. You can convert any favorite photograph into a true work of art at Canvas On Demand. They take your prized photograph and transform it into an amazing canvas work of art. You have two rendering options to choose from; PhotoRealistic, bringing your photo to full life even more vivid than the original, or BrushStroke, which appears to have been produced by delicate strokes of an artist’s brush. They also offer two primary finishing options. The canvas can simply be stretched and framed to your specification, or it can be Gallery Wrapped (my favorite), stretching the canvas over a wooden frame so that the edges of the material are drawn around it.

And even cooler, Canvas On Demand has just introduced their new Photosplits™ – they “split” your photo into a 3 or 4 panel piece of Canvas artwork. These gallery wrapped canvas panels come together to make a photo-to-art screen. Sizes range from 36″x24″ to 90″x60″. The 3 or 4 panels are standard, but they can do any number of panels any size in any configuration!

Canvas On Demand recently relaunched their site with a fresh, updated look and feel, in improved customer interface and faster image uploads. And they’re celebrating with a grand re-opening sale that’s oh-so grand.

New Camera, Loads of Photos and What to Do…

Posted in Clearance Sales, Frames and Albums, Organization, Photography, Storage at 2:27 am by Deb Savvy

We all do the same thing. We get a new camera, take about a zillion photos and then we don’t do anything with the pictures. Even if you are selective, the few you do choose to print can pile up pretty quickly. And the photos that are sent by friends and family make that pile even bigger. Well, now’s your chance to clear up that clutter once and for all – and save a bundle at the same time.

Don’t just put those terrific family holiday photos under a magnet on the fridge.  And, worse yet, don’t do what I do and just toss them in a drawer never to be heard from again.  Frame them.  Put them in an album.  Store them so you know where they are.  And now’s the time to do it.  If you’re like me it was probably on your to-do list for 2007 anyway, but that’s not the only reason to clean up the photo mess now.

Delight them with Digital

Posted in Cameras, Computers, Electronics, Gadgets, Gifts, Photography, Practical Gifts at 11:01 pm by Deb Savvy

Looking for a ‘can’t go wrong’ gift?  Why not delight them with digital?  The gift of digital photography is sure to please.  A camera is a great choice for someone like me who doesn’t have one and is also a great choice for anyone on your list with an older, larger and less efficient digital camera.  And for anyone you know who already has a terrific camera and uses it all the time, the accessory options are endless.  Printers, digital frames and photo albums.  There are even special printing products that allow the user to print sepia toned prints on textured archival quality papers – perfect for that amateur Avedon on your list.

Digital Cameras 

When it comes to the world of digital photography, look no further than RitzCamera.com .  You’ll find every thing imaginable, and loads of things you can’t even imagine!  In addition to everyday low pricing, free shipping on orders over $100 and no sales tax to most states – they’ve include the inside scoop on all manufacturer’s rebates right in each product description for maximum savings.  Tip:  RitzCamera.com , CameraWorld.com , and WolfCamera.com are actually three different arms of the same company.  If you find that your order will be taxable from one of the sites, go to one of the others.  They’ve got the same products and same pricing. Sales tax rules vary by state but generally relate to whether or not a merchant has a bricks and mortar store in the state to which the items will be delivered.  Thought you’d want to know.

Last night a lovely crowd of us gathered over at Paula’s for a fabulous holiday feast.  Lori, always creative with gifts and a super savvy shoppier in her own right, present Paula with one of the nicest hostess gifts I’ve ever seen.  It was a terrific photo of Paula and the Professor.  It was taken at a party Lori hosted not too long ago.  And she put in in an absolutely beautiful frame.  What a great gift idea, right?  Paula was thrilled.  And I was quite impressed.  I’m always on the lookout for clever, inexpensive yet perfect gifts for every occasion.  And the framed photo is all of that and more.  It’s personal.  Loved it!
