    I'm not sure what you're asking for here.

    Are you looking for info on camera advertising, or are you looking for a camera?

    Gotcha. Asylum Steve and some of the other pro's (and semi-pro's) will know MUCH more about that than I do. Sorry I couldn't be a help.

    Check out Outdoor Photographer, Popular Photography, Shutterbug, or any other photography/camera related magazines. Also, if you have a B&H catalog, that will have multiple items, in a different format from the standard advertisements.

    Hope this helps.

    Price and megapixels. What else matters?

    Happy cynical Monday. Yes, there is a lot more to chosing a camera (or a store) than price and MP but that seems to be the two major points that marketing depts try to get across. Especially with major retailers like Circuit City and Best Buy. Calumet Photo regularly sends out sale catalogs, and they're a little more in depth - because their audience is different (adv amateur to pro).

    I guess that's an important point - who is your audience?
