id love to know when is the best time to purchase a DSLR. im looking into investing in a great camera with outstanding picture quality and technology. Where can all the good deals be found? what time of year is perfect for this sort of purchase?


Answer
The best time would be when the camera maker of your choice announces newer models. Then, if you don't have to have the "latest & greatest", you can get great mark-down deals on the previous models. It's like buying cars. When the 2012 models are arriving, it's a great time to buy a new 2011.

Where can i win a free canon or nikon camera?

I am a photography freak but dont have much budget to buy a new DSLR. Can some one please suggest me a website or something where I can have a DSLR for free? For location preferences, I live in India.


Answer
Hi King..

There are many contests which offer SLR Camera as prizes.. You need to keep searching for them and might hit the jackpot!

The one that is going on now is from Nikon (Nikon Photo Contest International 2010-2011). They are offering different cameras ranging from Nikon D3S digital-SLR camera (costing Rs 2.9 lac) to D5000 (Rs 50K). There are 53 cameras to be won and just not that, you will have Lenses, Speedlight and other accessories along with this. Indians are open to participate.

Some tips to win:
# Do check the previous years winners list and you can get an idea of the kind of photos that get selected for finals
# Comply strictly by the rules (format, image size, categories etc.)
# Check the list of judges, google their name and go to their websites, see what kind of photos they like to shoot..

Do keep in mind.. if you are opting to win a prize, don't go by the notion of what photo of yours you like most.. but see and enter only those photos which may win you a camera.

Last year, a young boy from Mumbai won a high end DSLR from Canon in a street photography contest. He didn't even own a camera, he had hired one for a day from a local store for the contest.. took pictures, submitted them and he became a Lucky winner!! The article about him came in Better Photography Magazine.

So, there's all hope!!

All the best!!


EDIT: Here's one contest for Canon EOS 7D digital SLR camera to be won. Follow the link for details:
