Mothers Day Special

Earlier this year Tamron dropped the price on the best selling 18-270 VC PZD.  When it was at $679, it sold like hot cakes.  When Tamron dropped the price to $449, we sold out even faster.  So it looks that Tamron has gone a bit nuts this week just for Mothers.  Valid through May 13th Tamron has announced that there is a $50 mail in rebate for  the 18-270 VC PZD.  Roses for mothers day will die, a Tamron lens will last a very long time.

Wireless Image Transfer.

For 6 months or more many customers have been asking about how to get their smart phones and or tablets to interact with their cameras.  The iUSBport CAMERA is the solution.  This cool toy lets you wifi your camera to, say an iPad.  As you shoot your pics, your client can preview them on your tablet and or smartphone.  If that doesn’t get your attention, how about having the ability to control your camera from your phone and or tablet.  Now that there is the Bees Knees.  This lil baby is not bad in price, compared to what it can do and how much fun you will have with it.  $299 is the damage.  Be the first on the block to wow your clients and customers.

New Partnerships

Over the past month we have been busy.  We have been talking with groups out in the community about advertising and getting the Peace Camera name out in the public.  Shelley is very much obsessed with Football (Soccer), like much of the families in the area.  Parents in the CASL program naturally want to take better images of their kids and we hope to help those families with that.

Peace Camera is now a sponsor of one of the Practice fields out up at the WRAL soccer Complex.  Field 1, the first field on the right was known as the Centex Field.  That now is the Peace Camera and Nikon Field.  We are excited to sponsor and work with CASL. 

The second partnership that has come about is with the Carolina Railhawks.  Tonight is the Home Opener against FC Edmonton, go out and check out the Banner we have with Canon behind the South Goal.  I hope that Akira Fitzgerald for the Railhawks or Lane Parker from Edmonton do not obstruct your view of the banner too much. 

Snap some pics from the game, email them to us and Attention Shelley and get a Canon Lens Cleaning Cloth.    Other Photo Competitions will happen all season long.  Chances to win tickets and to become photographer of the game a bit later in the season.  This is a great chance to sit on the pitch and see the game from a different angle.  Oh and be able to capture some great pics too.  Keep posted to lean more about how to get tickets to  the game.
