Hey guys, it's Mid August now (OR a little past it) And here are a few little things happening in the "photography" world.

Wacom Tablets have recently priced dropped a slight amount.
If you're looking for a cheap, smaller one, I believe the 4x6 has gone down from $299 now $279.

Tenba Skooba has come out with a few new bags, which you might want to check out if you're looking for a new one or secondary one.

Need Ink?
A lot of Epson Inks are currently on sale right now, I might order a 7 pack just to have some backed up.

You might want to check that out, I'm not sure if any of you have printers, but I know at least 1 does. (I think?)

If you are looking for a new printer, and have $1,100 to spend on one, then check out the Epson Stylus Pro 3800.
It currently is on sale for a whopping $150, WITH a $300 Mail In Rebate which totals to $450 off the regular $1500 printer!!! Quite the deal, however still very expensive.

If you're looking to join a few fall seminars with Vistek, you can check out Vistek's Saturday Seminar Series | Summer/Fall 2009.
http://www.vistek.ca/events/
They currently run from September - December 2009.

If you feel like traveling to Toronto or Mississauga, and wish to check out some of Gary Ray Rush's great Workshops, check out http://www.vistek.ca/events/gary-rush-creative-series.aspx
They are about $125 for a 3 hour workshop.

If you're looking for a new camera. (I know there's always somebody posting a thread here about them in search of a "good" camera.)
You can check out the Canon T1i, which has just dropped in price!
Now under $1000 For the Kit, and sales are currently on ranging from $20 - $130 off!

A Canon 40D Is also on sale for $200 savings!!
