Five Best Photography Buys of 2012

Have the EOS Rebel T3i already? As a Canon Rebel fan, I do recommend the camera. There's a great Rebel T3i bookabout how to use it by David Busch. I've written one book with him, and he knows what he is doing with photography instruction. It's only $18.66.




If you buy a tripod, don't expect anything dependable for a dSLR camera that is under $50. After looking at the most popular tripod Amazon list, I found number
16 to be the best--the SLIK PRO 700DX Professional Tripod with Panhead .


 


Ah ha! Let's talk printers. If you want photographs that are wall-worthy the number 1 art photography printer is the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Inkjet Photo Printer (3295B002) . It's cheap, too, under $500.




 
Although not on any list, per se, this camera and laptop bag (Lowepro Fastpack 250 Camera/Laptop Backpack ) seems be satisfying nearly 200 customers who rated it well. This is my next purchase. Less than $100.






To be sure Canon kit lenses are good, but they're not telephoto. This is number 2 at Amazon, Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras , with the majority of 700 reviewers rating it highly.
