Canon adds to their semi-professional DSLR line with the 50D. The 50D, which will be sold along side the 40D, will be a minor step up from the 40D.

New Web Page Design

Our New webpage layout gives Adray Camera.com a fresh, new look. We're happy to see a crisp look to our webpage, but it has come at a price. During the transition, some products were lost. Most notably, all of our Gary Fong products from the last newsletter. Please bear with us as we get things back up to speed. In the meantime, if there was something you needed that is no longer on the webapage, simply reply to this e-mail or call 1-800-65-ADRAY (652-3729) so that we can maually process your order. Thank you!

Great Price on the Sony Alpha 700 Camera!

Sony is running a $200 Instant Rebate on the Alpha 700 Camera through September 20. Although Sony will not allow us to sell their cameras on adraycamera.com, nor advertise any pricing, we are happy to sell them over the phone or by e-mail. Call 1-800-65-ADRAY (652-3729) and ask for the camera department. You can check out specifications HERE.

Sigma Breaks Ground with 120-400 Optically Stabilized Lens

How many times have you been out taking pictures and wished that you could get closer? How many times do you take the perfect shot only to find out that it is blurry later? If you answered yes to either of these questions, than Sigma's new 120-400OS lens is the answer to your problems. The lens is extrememly high magnification, AND has optical stabilization to help with blurriness commonly found in shots taken with high magnification lenses. 400mm was usually reserved only for those who could afford such an expensive lens. Sigma brings it to everyone for only $789! Check out the specs HERE.

4GB SDHC w/ Reader for $19.99!

A special purchase allows us to offer a SanDisk 4GB Ultra II SDHC memory card with an included MicroMate Reader for half a penny per MB! This combination is so small you could even use it as a USB thumb drive when it's not doing picture duty in your camera. Don't forget to check our SDHC compatibility page if you have an older camera. Click HERE to purchase.

Nikon's New D90 Camera - Coming Soon!

The D90 is a brand new camera from Nikon expected to start shipping to dealers this week! A larger 3 inch screen, resolution is moved up to 12 megapixels, and a DSLR first, Video Capture, all combine to make Nikon's new camera truly unique and an excellent compromise for those of you wanting the D300. Click HERE to see all the Camera's specifications. Call 1-800-65-ADRAY (652-3729) to reserve yours now.

A Nikon D80 for $349 To Good to be True? Yup...

Does that price seem to good to be true? If it does, you would be wise to check out ResellerRatings.com. A customer recently asked me why Adray's price was so much higher than another webpage. I told them that the price at the other webpage appeared to be some sort of a scam, since their price was less than half the cost of a legitimate camera purchased from the manufacturer with a USA warranty. I suggested that they check ResellerRatings.com before committing to the purchase and that our price was more than fair. I was dissappointed because I figured another unknowing consumer was about to be ripped off and put through a time-consuming hassle.

To my suprise, I received a call about an hour later from the same customer thanking me for the information. The webpage was certainly operating a scam according to ResellerRatings.com. They only scored a 1.02 out of 10. This company's particular scam was having the merchandise quickly become unavailable if they were unsuccessful in selling you outrageously overpriced accessories. If you'd like to see what I'm talking about, click HERE to see a Nikon D80 offered for only $349. Then click HERE to see their reviews on ResellerRatings.com. You can even see how far they go to convince you that they are a highly rated seller by showing that they are a highly rated seller with ShopCartUSA.com. Believe me, ShopCartUSA.com is simply an extension of fraudulent websites. Their top-rated sellers are the literally the "Who's Who" of the scam artists. You should avoid any website that makes any reference to ShopCartUSA.com.

I am very proud of the high rating Adray's has received on ResellerRatings.com, because we work very hard to ensure that everyone has a positive experience. Click HERE to check out our great prices for the Nikon D80. (Please note that I have taken snapshots of the webpages in question as to avoid linking violations and to maintain valid links, since I suspect that this webpage will be shut down shortly.
