Photographic Deals of the Week
New Series: Each week John, the king of bargain hunters, will bring us some of his great photography related finds. Of course, if you’ve found a great deal, pass it on too!
Canon Loyalty Program
Trade in your current Canon camera for a refurbished unit with a 6 month warranty. How does a Canon Rebel XT with kit lens for $275 sound? Freaking awesome if you ask me - and I’m a Nikon guy! Note that the models you can receive are dependent on the camera you’re trading in. For more information, check out the fatwallet thread.

Responses and Conversations
John, this is great!! Thanks for passing along these deals. I’ll definitely look forward to this every Friday. Also, I’m SO glad that 50mm was for Canon because I would be way bummed if it was for Nikon because I just bought one last week (and didn’t get that kind of deal on it!)

Oh my gosh, I’m so thinking about getting the LensBaby 2.0! I’ve wanted one forever. Crud! Thanks for putting together this list, John.
