The discount race has gone crazy just before Christmas and the price levels have never been this low, ridiculously low! Here are some of the cameras on Amazon with free 2-day shipping, so if you order soon you will get them before Christmas!
Nikon D90 DX Body Only for $840! -I still can't believe this great camera is sold for $840 so short after its introduction, is this a part of Nikon's DSLR World Domination plan?
Canon G10 for $409 -One of the best compact digicams on the market along with the Panasonic LX3 (see below). Interface and controls are much better then the LX3 I have to say.
Panasonic DMC-LX3K for $409 - Image quality is the best in its class, especially at high ISO
Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm for $410 - perfect low-budget DSLR starter kit, but I recommend you to pay $300 more if you can and buy the D80 with 18-135 (see the link below)
Nikon D80 10.2MP with 18-135mm for $715 - Yes, the price includes the 18-135mm!

I have always been amazed watching a professional photographer at work, how they take their job so seriously and follow certain steps and procedures. They all have their unique workflows and very rarely they get out of it. Unfortunately very few of us have a chance to watch a professional at work, besides very few pro pho photogs reveal their wokflow and keep it as a secret formula.
Fortunately for those of you who at least would like to read their workflow in detail, there are pro photographers that are kind enough like Patrick Lavoie to describe theirs in detail here on Photo.net. I am sure no matter you are a beginner or a pro, no matter if you shoot landscapes or still life, you can still benefit from the experience, techniques and knowledge he revealed in this long article. |

I have just added a Weekly Newsletter facility to Photolectic which I think has been one of the missing feature of this site for a long time. By subscribing to our newsletter, you will receive the latest news and the summary of the week plus useful links that are not even going to be published on Photolectic, a special threat to our subscribers.

Dirt on your DSLR lens is one of the main factors that reduces the image quality of your photos. Although some defects caused by small spots may be repairable in post processing, larger dirts most probably will probably make your photo useless. Even a tiny stain that you haven’t noticed or ignored during the shoot out can ruin hours of hard work at the end of the day. The most important fact that you have to consider before cleaning your lens is to choose a proper method to make sure you don’t scratch your lens surface.
Here we present 6 tips for you to effectively clean (and keep clean) your DSLR lens without giving any damage to it. Remember most of these methods presented here are also applicable to compact digicam and other kind of optical devices:
1 - Use a UV (Ultraviolet) Filter
This relatively cheap filter is a perfect protection for your valuable lens, both from dirt and other impacts. You will be cleaning the filter, thus minimizing the risk of scratching the actual lens surface. We recommend you to keep this filter attached all times, but remember to choose a high quality one otherwise it may degrade the quality of the output image. Since different lenses may have different filter diameters, you may have to purchase one for each of your lens. One more tip: don't go for the cheapest filters, they may degrade the image quality significantly, go for the multi coated glass filter if you can afford.
Here is what I use: Hoya 77mm UV (Ultra Violet) Multi Coated Glass Filter (There is a big discount at the moment)
UV Filter
2- Use lens hoods, and lens caps for both front and back end of your lens:
