At the CameraArts—B+H Storefront

Among the latest additions to the CameraArts B+H storefront, a special deal on the 250 GB My Book Essential Edition USB 2.0 External Hard Drive from Western Digital.The appearance of this 7200 rpm memory-storage device might look right at home on your bookshelf, thanks to its smooth black look and size on par with a hardbound novel. The drive includes power-saving features, has no environmentally contaminant parts, and ships in recyclable packaging. Additionally, this is the official external hard drive of CameraArts, and we wouldn't replace it for the world!

Note: Though it looks like a plug-and-play device, you SHOULD NOT unplug the My Book Drive while it is turned on. You will risk shorting the drive, as Tom Gibbons has learned from experience. That aside, you won't find a better deal on memory storage!

Among the latest additions to the CameraArts B+H storefront, a special deal on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 Digital Camera gives photographers an opportunity to own a quality EVF point-and-shoot camera. This model combines 7.2-megapixel resolution with a 12x optical zoom, and features an excellent Leica DC lens with MEGA O.I.S. to prevent shaky photos. Though it is designed to be a point-and-shoot, the FZ8 provides many SLR features, such as thumbstick-adjustable manual settings.

From the CameraArts Photo Store:

"The DMC-FZ8 Digital Camera also has a large, 2.5-inch LCD that uses a pixel-mixed readout method, improving brightness over typical LCD displays, and allows you to enjoy comfortable shooting even in low-lit situations. The display is also extremely easy to view from a low angle (e.g. when taking photos raising a hand upward to shoot the subject over the crowd) with the High Angle LCD function. The Power LCD function also supports clear view even in sunny outdoor by offering a brightness boost of up to 40%. The DMC-FZ8 is powered by a high capacity Lithium-ion battery; combined with the efficient power usage of the Venus Engine III processor, you'll get an impressive 380 shots on a full charge."
