- August 25, 2007*UPDATE* Nikon announces new COOLPIX
Nikon has today announced 8 new cameras in their COOLPIX range. These include:
- COOLPIX P5100 (replaces P5000)
- COOLPIX S510 (replaces S500)
- COOLPIX S700
- COOLPIX S51c (replaces S50c)
- COOLPIX S51 (replaces S50)
- COOLPIX L15
- COOLPIX L14
- COOLPIX P50
Our picks of the bunch are the S51 for style, P50 as an all-rounder and the L15 if you're on a budget. All cameras offer a minimum of 7.1 megapixels (cutting-edge a year ago) and Zoom-NIKKOR lenses, so image quality will not be an issue!

- August 21, 2007We have 100 copies of the fantastic 'Digital SLR Pocket Guide' to give away.
The pocket guide, produced by Margaret Brown in association with Media Publishing (www.photoreview.com.au) and Canon, provides easy-to-follow advice on a broad range of topics, from choosing the right equipment to exposure and depth of field. Whilst the guide is produced in association with Canon, most of the information is generic and ideal for new users of digital SLR cameras of any brand.
The guide costs $9.95, but we're giving one away with every purchase of a digital SLR whilst stocks last.

- August 21, 2007Canon have announced their new range of cameras, due for launch in September this year:

These are the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS. This will bring the Canon entry-level SLR back in line with the Pentax K10D, K100D Super and Sony Alpha 100 as offering image stabilisation as standard.

- August 04, 2007Update:
We have it on good authority that the new Nikon D40X twin kit arrived at Nikon this morning (26/3). Stock should be with us by the end of the week so, if you've not done so already, please place your order now. Price $1399.
Update:
We've been given pricing on a twin lens kit for the D40X, including a standard 18-55mm and 55-200mm pair. Pricing on this kit will be under $1400, but that's unfortunately as specific as we can be at this stage. It appears that the single-lens (18-55mm) kit will also be made available, but we have no confirmation of this as yet.
Pre-orders for the Nikon D40X twin lens kit will be available very soon.

- August 03, 2007This post is in response to a recent comment posted publicly on our site regarding our procedures for verifying order details. In summary, the complaint was that a landline number is compulsory, and that we don't accept Hotmail, Yahoo or other such non-geographic email addresses, both of which allegations are incorrect.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to voice your opinions on our website. I have responded to the comment on the reviews page:
https://www.camera-warehouse.com.au/site-reviews.asp
Despite it's negative content, it has given us an opportunity to clarify our procedure. We do not require a land-line number, but do provide the option to provide both land-line and mobile number. Nor do we insist on any particular 'kind' of email address. However, Internet fraud is increasing prevailent in our business, and we have to protect ourselves as, ultimately, it is us that bears the cost of cameras that are shipped under fraudulent orders. The card holder is refunded the money -
