It’s a big, big, big giveaway!

I am so excited to share this amazing giveaway today from the fabulous folks at Adorama!! I have been counting down the days until I could tell you about this giveaway! In honor of our 10th Birthday, Adorama has graciously offered one Kevin & Amanda reader an incredible Canon DSLR camera prize package with not one, but TWO brand new Canon lenses plus a whole ton of accessories to go with it.

Canon T3i and Two Lenses Giveaway from Adorama

You’ll get the 18-Megapixel Canon EOS Rebel T3i Digital SLR Camera and Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens

 

I’m totally digging the flip-out LCD screen. It’s perfect for shooting at a variety of angles. You can use it while holding the camera high for overhead, above-the-crowd shots, down low for eye-level kids and pet shots, or rotate it fully for picture-perfect self-portraits. Love this versatile screen!

The gift card would help buy a nice camera to take pictures of my girls. Thanks. :)

    Nathan

  25. Karen J Moseley

    I’d buy a nice camera bag…and a tripod! I’d also buy some books on lighting and tips on shooting babies and children. Little ones are my favorite subjects and perfect for me, as I’m a wheelchair user and they are the right height for me! : ) Thanks for the Giveaway, Adorama and Kevin & Amanda!

  30. Lynne

    If I win I’d like to put the $250 towards a laptop from Adorama. Where am I going to get the rest of the money? From the $476 million I’m going to win from the Mega Millions drawing on Friday night.

  32. Kiah

    A camera that is not a point and shoot. Don’t get me wrong I love my point and shoot, but I am ready for a challenge. The Canon Rebel seems like a good starting place.

  33. Betsy B.

    Well, if I win this camera, I’d use the money to buy memory cards and another extra battery. I’m one of those that can’t stand the thought of deleting photos from a memory card even if I’ve downloaded it to my computer. You never know when you might just need the original picture, right??? LOL! And another spare battery would come in handy on trips when you might not be able to recharge the other batteries you have~ especially on a camping trip when there’s no electricity!! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome, awesome, camera!

  34. Laura M

    I would buy either a new digital point and shoot to carry around every day and/or a good scanner for negatives and slides.

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, it would be on a tabletop studio and softbox kit! I’ve been having the hardest time trying to take good pictures of some of my bracelets and cakes and even my nail art designs that I try. The flash just makes them look odd and I can’t get the lighting in my house just right.

  37. Angela Lee

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    Oh my gosh! I have been drooling over this camera for months. And I love Adorama. I get all of my toner cartridges from them.

  38. Donna Gaschel

    If I won $250 to spend at Adorama, I most likely would buy another battery or possibly a lighting kit. So exciting!

  39. Jenn

    I think I already posted a few days ago but upon thinking…. if I was to win, I’d use the money towards buying my Autistic son a 16GB black NEW iPad. He’s currently using a Motorola Xoom: Family Edition and while it’s quite useful, the apps and such for special needs children have a much larger base on the Apple products rather than the other platforms. It could really help him gain a more interactive grasp on his educational curriculum.

  40. Janet A.

  46. Jenny Depa

    An awesome give-away. It would be such an improvement for me. I’m sure I would have to learn more photography tips… perhaps a tripod/more lens?

  47. Bonnie {PaperKeeper}

    If I had $250 to spend…at Adorama…sigh…

I have a lot of memories of him taking pictures. My dad is my best friend, and i would love for him to have an up to date camera so he can get back to his passion I know is still there. I would buy from the store a tripod for him, photo paper, ink, and a special printer. That’s probably more than $250 but it would give him all needs besides what would come with the giveaway!

  119. Tammy

    I would have to put the money towards a new camera. I broke a little piece in the battery compartment of my camera years ago. My battery jumps out every time I want to pull my memory card…very annoying having to reset the date over and over! It has been on my “list” to be replaced, but with a large family, it never seems to make it to the top!

  120. Jeremy Christian

    With $250 at Adorama I’d buy more light, most likely off brand hot shoe/ speedlight type strobes, or put it toward a used DSLR body.

  121. Michelle Dukes

    That’s like asking a kid in a candy store what candy he wants! lol
    I’m pretty sure it would go towards a DSLR. ;)

    There is so much that I could spend $250 on, a new camera, a new lens, but I think that I would get a new color photo printer with as much photo paper and ink as I could. I have about 7,000 pictures saved to my computer and I would love to be able to be able to print off even a 1/4!

    I think I would find a camera. I have been looking for a new camera for a while because I love to take pictures of my kids.

  247. Cécy

    I would probably get a small powershot, something light and thin that I could take with me when I run. I’ve heard of the Canon G but I don’t seem to find it on Adorama.

  248. Monica Benischeck

    I would buy a new lens from Adorama to take more nautre photos to enter the Wild Amelia contest. Thank you for doing giveaways.

  249. Heather Conroy

    Wow what an amazing prize. Another camera in the house would be fun, my daughters are always stealing mine! Thank you for this great prize.

  250. Linda D

    I so want a new camera. I have a point and shoot that is several years old and need a better camera. So I would use the money towards a new camera.

  251. Patricia

    I stumbled upon this post searching for Bokah and found this contest.
    I definitely could use a new camera. I have been getting by with point and shoot for years. Love your blog. I’m sure that I will visit frequently.

  252. karen glover

    If I had @250.00 to spend at Adorama i would buy a new camera for myself. It is my 50th birthday on April 4th and that would be my present to myself.

  253. Bonnie A

    I have an old Cannon model that I loved. I would be so overwhelmed it I won this package. Pictures are the best keepsakes!!

  254. Pam

    I am new to dslr cameras and have recently bought a used canon xti off of craigslist. I love it but since I have bought it the flash has broke. I would love a new t3i! Thank you for the chance to win.

  255. Nicole H.

    I would buy a new lens and a book for my DSLR. I really would like to learn how to use my DSLR in a more efficient way. I’m currently just wingin’ it!

  256. Deborah

    Hi! Happy Blogoversary! I’m just about to start looking at cameras for my birthday coming up soon. Winning one instead would be extremely cool! A gift certificate would go for a set-up to do close-up photos of vintage stuff for digital scrapbooking.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  257. Martha

    Thanks for this awesome opportunity to win. My hubby and I just had our 1st. Any and this camera would be great for capturing her first moments.

  258. Morgane

    If I got a $250 gift card I would put it toward a new camera :) Can I just say I love the use of “May the odds be EVER in your favor” ;)

  259. Muzammil

    Im crazy about photography butI have never used a dslr before..so if i had 250$ i guess i would save up and buy the best dslr i could find :)

  260. Diana Delzio

    I would buy the Canon PowerShot D10 Compact Digital Camera, 12 Megapixel, WaterProof to 33 Feet Camera! If I had $250 because my fiance & I love snorkeling :)

  261. Matthew Brady

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorma, I would use it to purchase prints of my picture of Penn State’s THON final line dance. (http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5137/5463761736_b971e26859_b.jpg)

    THON is a 46 hour dance maraTHON at Penn State that benefits the families of children with cancer. This past year, THON raised over $10.6 million dollars for The Four Diamonds Fund.

    It’s not just about the money they raise. Throughout the 46 hours that dancers are continuously on their feet (meaning no sleeping, no sitting), the families get to come and enjoy a day that is often compared to Christmas by the kids.

    My sister graduated in 2011 from Penn State and got a job in Atlanta. In middle school, one of her best friends benefited from the Four Diamonds Fund. If I had $250, I would spend it on prints of that image to make sure that my sister had one in her workplace to share with her friend. I would also send prints to my friends living in Texas, Ohio, Colorado, to help them understand and share THON.

  262. Tim C.

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would buy a new tripod and some neutral density filters to do some long exposures with this awesome new camera!

  263. catherine

    I would buy my very first DSLR (Canon!), a tripod and hopefully some studio equipment for better portraits / food photography ! Oh, I guess I will need to top up to do all that huh? So the $250 would be a great bonus !

  264. Rebecca Lewis

    What an absolutely insanely awesome giveaway. I’m sure hubby could think of a film camera accessory he’d want to spend $250 on.

  265. Amy

    So…if I had $250 to spend, I’d be like a kid in a candy store! I would probably have to get the MyStudio PS5 PortaStudio ….with continuos lighting kit. I desperately need an easy way to take pictures of my finished products o I can post them online or share with customers. This would make life MUCH easier!

  266. Sandi B

    If I won the camera package (please…please…please!), I’d put the $250 towards additional flash or lighting. What fun this would be!

  267. Shannon

    This is a fantastic giveaway for a fantastic blog! I’m inspired by your photography and hope I can someday become as competent as Amanda! Thanks for the opportunity!

  268. Nicole

    $250 bucks from Adorama…I would get a couple more batteries and an 8 stop neutral density filter and a hard graduated ND filter…..from my favorite rep Lewis A

  269. Angie

    I would get a new/better camera so I could stop using my cheap Kodak digital. It works but not good enough to take great pics of the projects I create.

  270. Denise O.

    What a great giveaway! I just took a photography class so this is a great gift for me right now. And who couldn’t use another lens.

  271. Gwynne

    Tough choice! I’d probably want to get a new lens or some storage for all the vintage slides/photos I am trying to organize!

  272. Vicki P

    What a decision to spend $250! I would upgrade my DSLR and give my daughter my camera. She is a budding photographer herself!

    Thanks for the awesome contest!
    vicki

  273. Ora Despain

    If I had $250 I would put it towards a 70-200mm f/2.8L …. but most likely I would get impatient saving and I would buy another flashgun instead :)

  274. Sarah Carmichael

    Kevin and Amanda,
    I absolutely love your site. I haven’t seen anything on your site that i haven’t loved. I have used so many of your recipes.
    Thanks so much.
    Sarah

  275. Pam M

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I’d put that money toward the Canon 24-105mm f/4.0 L lens. Some pretty sweet glass hubs & I keep fighting over

  276. Traci

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would purchase extra memory cards and use the rest to order great prints of all the wonderful photographs that I have taken. And lets face it, I would probably need to purchase some instructional material for the Canon T3i DSLR camera I’m (hopefully) going to win :)

  277. Natalie

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama it would have to be a camera. Whatever that could get me. Right now I am using my iPhone as a regular camera. And I have been really wanting a better camera. Especially to get my photography going and get better pictures on my blog! I am dying for one!!!

  278. Alison Anders

    got here from that FABULOUS looking cookie recipe…and i’m going back when i’m done ;) happy birthday celebration goodness!!!

  280. Stephanie Cote

    I’ve been dying to get a camera like this for ages but tuition and rent dictate where my money goes. Would love to win this one! Thanks!

  281. Jessica Blake

    I would spend the $250 on photo books! I am the mom of two boys (Henry is 6 and Miles is 4) I’ve taken so many pics of them, but would like to organize them in a beautiful way and I think the photo books would do just that :) I’d like to make a lasting treasure for my boys!

  282. Chad Thomas

    If I had $250 to spend on Adorama’s website, I would order a few of the 12×12 photo books, and also some large portrait prints of my friends so they can remember the fun times we had while I was shooting them.

  283. Leigh

    If I had $250 to spend I would put it towards a new camera (if I don’t win this one) or a new lens to go with my camera!

  284. Savannah

    If I had the $250 I would put it with the other money I have been trying to save to buy a new camera and lens or two to start my new hobby. I have always been interested in photography and I am considering going to school for it!

  285. Mikelle

    I would put it toward a new macro lens! This is seriously the best giveaway! Your site has turned into a blogging icon that is inspiring:)

  286. Jayne Bergeman

    This camera looks amazing! I am in the market for a digital camera. I’m still using my old 35 mm film camera.

  287. Lori

    Well, I have a bucket list of photography extra I really want but I suppose I would start with the 50mm fixed lens or possibly an underwater camera to take fun photos of my children in the pool or at the beach.

  288. Kathy Blakeney

    I would love to win a camera. I have been wanting one like this. Going on vacation soon and would love to have it to take with me.

  290. Lindsey Whitaker

    Found the blog by looking for “Before and After” pictures. I am so inspired, and just found the blog. I would LOVE this amazing giveaway!

  291. Lisa S.

    There are way too many things to choose from. I’m sure I won’t have a problem spending any part of $250. I do need a new speedlight, my old one just pooped out. I use it with my very old rebel.

  292. Tashina Fiscus

    If I had $ 250 to spend at Adorama, I would buy me a good External Flash Unit. I am in need of one with my Canon RebelXS.

  293. Lynne

    I would put it towards Adobe Photoshop Cs5 – 599.95, which I’ve been wanting forever. Or I would consider buying Photoshop Elements for 84.00 and use the rest for a nice camera bag.

  294. Jeannie W.

    If I had $250. to spend at Adorama, I would buy a wide lens for my camera! Happy tenth Kevin and Amanda, with many more to come!

    Thanks for the give away. Love your ideas.

    1. Kim Jeffrey

      Oh ya, in answer to the question….if I had $250 I would most likely buy supplies for my business/blog. I just started a new blog last week and have almost no experience in the photography department, so this could definitely help.

  300. Veronica

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d save it until I had enough of my own cash to add to it to get a new camera. There are some awesome DSLR cameras over there I’d be interested in buying.

  301. Krissy

    If you had $250 to spend at Adorama, i would graciously give it to my husband so he can use it towards a purchase of a camera.

  304. Maureen Chapman

    I really need a new camera and currenty am undecided on which one as my last one was stolen. I am trying to get the best option and best accessories and this would allow me to do so!

  305. Chris Schechner

    I love your website. I have learned a whole bunch of stuff from it. Even though the design is a bit frou frou for me (because I’m a guy), the creativity is amazing and you’ve got a great sense of design. I entered the contest for the camera (at least I think I did it right) and I couldn’t quite figure out how to leave a comment about Adorama. Maybe that’s what this is for. Regardless, I’d use the money on photo equipment, because I need to get a bunch of it. Anyway, great web site, Amanda! You’re inspiring me.

  306. Robin

    Nice camera! It would be nice to win one as I am excited to start photography classes as soon as I can get one. I LOVE photography and take photos of everything from flowers to animals to scenery.

    oohh, my Canon is starting to die on me. After several thousand pictures (literally), it’s about to take its last breath.

  310. Karisa

    I would just love to have a camera…even a used one! The struggle that everyone has these days, and not enough disposable income to purchase one…am missing precious moments with my family and kids that we can’t capture.

  311. Megan

    I would definitely put it towards a new camera. Three kids in and I’m still using a point and shoot and desperately want an upgrade!

  312. Leslie

    If I had $250.00 to spend with Adorama…….I’d purchase several new memory cards and catch up on getting all of my photos of my little munchkins printed………and that would be really fabulous!!

  319. Jodie

    ohhh, you don’t know how badly I am wanting a new camera… first, my camera is broken and I am trying to save up for a new, NICE camera! I have a passion for the arts, crafting, baking, jewelry making and photography since I was little and now am wanting make it all happen. This camera will help me in all areas to take wonderful and professional pictures of my creations! And I also have made 3 other little creations to capture.. my 3 girls :)

  324. Sarah

    I would so love to have a new camera. I’m trying to start a business and could really use a camera so I can take better photos of my cakes!

  325. Anthony Billings

    I probably would spend $250 at Adorama on a new tripod. My old one was cheap to begin with – when I bought it 25 years ago. I want to start using it more, but I’m not sure it can handle the weight of my D200+grip+lens.

  326. Monica Condie

  328. malka

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d buy myself a camera, because ours is oh-so-broken and I HATE being cameraless with three adorable toddlers who are growing faster every day! True story, BTW. :)

  329. Evelyn Vincent

    Thank you Adorama for making this available, winning the camera is precisely what I could use right now. The plans I have for my immediate future require the exact set-up in your giveaway. Thank you again for this fine gesture and opportunity.

  337. jennifer zacharias

    We would buy a camera of course. But if we won a camera I would go crazy with some accessories. I have been wanting to get a great camera for a very long time and learn how to take great pictures. My son and I thought it would be a good hobby for the both of us to do together now that his older sister has left for college. Winning this would be a dream come true for he and I.

  338. Andi C.

    OOPS! I didn’t read carefully – sorry! I would put $250 towards an awesome camera so I could start posting tutorials that are visually appealing.

  339. Kelly

    I would spend the $250.00 on a camera that my kids could use! They love taking pictures and experimenting with the settings. I would love for them to be able to learn without using my camera.

  340. Christina

    $250 at Adorama, hmmmm, so many choices. I think I would most likely go with a new lens, as I only have kit lenses. Thanks for the giveaway, congrats on 10 years!

  341. Lisa Schock

    Thanks for the great giveaway! I could definitly use a new camera strap, a new camera bag and a 50 mm lens! a girl can dream right?! :)

  344. Casey Stonecypher

    If I won this, I would start taking better pics for my blogs and I would be able to mark “good camera stuff” off my future baby registry. This would be awesome.

  345. Trisha Shell

    I’m a middle school teacher starting to get kids into photography ~ they are amazing at how quickly they pick up skills. I have two cameras, would love to have more, so the $250 would be used to add some lenses for them to use.

  346. Cristine

    Recently divorced, and found the love of my life, who has THREE adorable little kids! I realize how badly I need a camera to capture all the wonderful moments with the littles!

It’s what he and I discussed getting as a joint gift for eachother this coming Christmas!

  347. Sierra

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would buy a basic point and shoot camera. I currently don’t own a camera at all…my father in law is graciously lending us one currently!

  348. Sue Getty

    Woo Hoo! This would be a VERY nice birthday pressie for me! It’s just what I’ve been asking for since Christmas! With $250, I’d get lots of accessories for my new Canon T3i (if I win it)! Maybe a really nice tripod and a chest strap.

  349. Chrissy Obenberger

    I would be over the moon to win this awesome camera. I use my current camera for community service work and would love to be able to upgrade to this incredible model. If I won $250, I would put it towards a better tripod or camera bag. I pray I win, so I can share even more pictures with my community.

  350. Colleen D

    If I had $250.00 to spend at Adorama I would use it to get a new Camera unless I win this Camera outfit then I would use it toward some more equipment for this one.

  351. Marvelous Mo's Mom

    If i had a $250 gift card I could purchase a new battery charger for my NikonD3000 camera OR it would help me with purchasing a new zoom lens! How exciting.

  359. Sarah

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would buy five Kodak Easyshare C1530 Digital Cameras; I think it would be so fun to hand them to my kiddos, take them to a photography class, and see what they captures. What fun for kids!

    Hmmm. I’d be putting that $250 toward my 1st DSLR (!!!) or some film or a fantastic Kelly Moore camera bag!

  369. Sofia

    WOW… what an amazing give-away. Have been drooling at cameras for a while, just not the right time for such investment. If I end up with one of the gift cards I would save it until i would have enough to buy a minimally good camera. Both to take photos of my daughters as well as my cookings!

  370. Elysia

  377. Jenni

  381. Monique

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I’d be like a kid in a candy store! I’d click through all the wonderful options and read all the descriptions. Then I’d probably decide on the following:
    1. a $50 gift card to share my winnings with a friend and then
    2. I’d put the rest to an underwater housing unit for lots of great summer fun pictures!

    Thanks for letting me enter!

  382. Alyscia N.

  392. Kerry Kenne

    Congrats Kevin & Amanda on 10 Years!!! If I had $250 to spend it would be a toss up between a new lens or portable lighting equipment.

  400. Emily

    I would put the $250 towards a new camera bag/backpack – lugging a diaper bag/snack cooler AND the camera bag makes it really inconvenient to take the dslr w/me when going out w/the littles.

    Or I’d put it towards the “Mama needs a new camera lens” fund.

  401. Diana

    $250! Well, I think I would put it towards a prime lens. Wishing for the 50mm. Or maybe Lightroom, since I do not have it. Or maybe Photoshop, because I only have PSElements. Choices, Choices…:)

  402. Anne

    Ever since you blogged about BOKEH…I have been dying to try it!!! However, without a camera I’m at a complete loss. SOOOOOOOO, a camera will be my number one, most immediate, right away purchase!!!

  405. Jon

    I would use the $250 to purchase a Tokina 11mm – 16mm F/2.8 ATX Pro DX lens (I’d pay the difference out of pocket). I’ve been looking for a nice wide angle lens and have been saving up for this one.

  406. Gloria Dennis

    That’s a tough one…what would I spend $250.00 on? Well…if I win the camera, I would spend it on another lens Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Autofocus Telephoto Zoom Lens to be specific. :) If I don’t win the camera then it would have to be on a selection of frames.

  407. Rachel Jamison

  415. amanda mattingly

    I would buy… Some new accessories for my canon rebel xti, my dogs like to chew on my neck straps, and my lens covers. LOL

  421. Tobias Gelston

    I would buy a really nice camera bag – one of those Think Tank bags that are built so well but out of my price range!!

  435. Helen I. Weinberg

    I would finally be able to share the joy of taking pictures with my husband. He gave cameras to my 2 sons (both are now adults and wonderful photographers) when they were very young and I became the official carrier of all the necessary extra equipment which at the time was not as light or compact as it is today. I would really like to try my hand at taking pictures of nature in various seasons but can’t bring myself to “splurge” on a camera and all the new digital accessories that today’s photos would entail. (Secretly, I would also like to take pictures of my beautuful grand-daughter (as if I really didn’t have enough already).

  436. Crystal McClary

  444. Cheryl

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would for sure buy a Tripod so I can get some family shots while in Europe this summer, and probably a digital photo frame to showcase said photos, and then a digital keychain frame for the same reasons!

  445. Diana

  475. Jessica Eluskie

    I would definitely use it to buy an awesome micro lens as well as a bag + unique strap. I’m really love doing anything to protect my camera as well as having it be truly my style. I’m glued to it, so any little bit of creativity always makes it feel more me.

  535. Danielle Dain

  542. Lori C

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would give it to my hubby to go on a shopping spree for our anniversary. He’s starting his own videography company, and I imagine $250 could help him get some of the “little things” he’ll need to get started.

  561. Dana Wilhelm

    I’d put it toward an iPad for my textbooks, or towards a new Canon camera… I tried to turn on my old one, and its totally black. I’ve wanted a SLR for a while! :)

  569. Ryan H

    Honestly, I’d put the money towards the Canon T3i! I’ve been researching DSLR cameras for awhile now, I desperately want one! I’m hoping for a black Friday sale this year maybe to make it affordable to a poor law student :)

  570. Julie Gade

  575. Joyce

    I would spend $250 a camera backpack, I want one so bad!! I feel like one would be perfect for when I’m going on trips and what not so I don’t look like a total loser carrying around a clunky camera. I saw this really nice one for $280 and it would be awesome to just get it for like $30!

  576. Marilee

    WOW!! This would be awesome to win! I would buy some accessories for my camera, tri pod, lenses, etc – that would be a great help!

  579. Lisa

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would buy as many (2? 3?) of the good but not-too-expensive, point-and-shoot digital cameras as I could for my first-/second-grade classroom! We just went on a Camera Hunt with parent helpers around our school grounds yesterday, and the observations these little kids made blew me away! Can you imagine what they’d do if they had their OWN cameras to use??? Wow! Thanks for letting me dream!

  580. Gesci Meyer

    I’d go for one of the two extremes- either a versatile point and shoot Powershot for when my DSLR wouldn’t be safe (i.e., skiing, zip lining, etc) or towards a 5D Mark III- I’m saving up for one right now and $250 would be a nice chunk towards that!

  581. Cindi G

    Oohhh, so many choices. But my first purchase would be a Canon
    speedlite 430ex, but only because the next lens I want is included in the giveaway package. ;)

  582. Becca

    I would TRY to get a starter DSLR. I have a 35mm SLR which I got almost 20 years ago and a point and shoot digital but I would love to get a DSLR to play with!

  583. Denise Kasbohm

    Definitely a digital camera. I have 5 kids and never have been able to buy a camera, I so want to scrapbook their memories. :o)

  584. Ahmed

    Very nice giveaway. Thank you for sharing it with your fans and happy birthday!

    I’ve never had a camera nice like this.

    If I had $250 to spend from Adorama, I’d like digital frames since I always have hard time to choose which picture of my sons I like best.

    Good luck to all one this giveaway!

    Best,
    Ahmed

  585. Esther Yang

    I’ve always wanted a waterproof camera so that I could take pictures under the water and also because summer is coming soon I would get the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TS20 if I had a $250 gift certificate :)

  586. Jackie

    I’ve always wanted an underwater camera housing. I rented a camera like that on vacation and it was amazing! My nephew likes to swim, so it would make for some very fun photos underwater, and above without fear of ruining the camera!

  587. Mª Victoria Rodriguez Pereira

    If I had a $250 voucher, I would get the anfrotto 7322YB M-Y Carbon Basalt Tripod. Thanks for the giveaway!

  588. Amber

    I could spend $250, I would definitely put the money toward a Canon DSLR so I can take better pictures of my kids. My current 5 megapixel point and shoot isn’t cutting it anymore.

  589. Cissy

    Hmmm….I think I’d use it for accesories. Memory cards, extra battery, reflectors, etc. I would definitely have fun shopping!

  590. Fran

    I would love a “real” camera, I am still using a point and shoot and desperately want to upgrade! Thanks for the chance!

  591. Kris Weber

    I would get a new point and shoot camera like the canon s95….to take one trail rides or out to the ranch, since I’d rather not take the big dSLR out and get it ruined.

  592. Susan M.

    I’d use it to assist with the purchase of a Speedlite – I’ve been wanting one of those for quite some time! Thank you!

  593. Elizabeth C.

    If I had $250 to spend, I would buy monitor calibration software , 2 16 GB memory cards, and a 77mm filter for a lens I already own!

  594. Peabea

    With $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d probably pay down on an IPad or buy accessories for a camera like any new lens I might want to add to my collection. Thanks for inviting me to enter.

  595. Christy

    I would buy a new 50mm lens for my old nikon. As much I would adore a new camera….I am thankful the old nikon still works. ;)

  596. Donna Cohen

    Day two – did my second day, on the 4th Raptercopter place entry for today’s post. It’s a tad confusing, but seems to be working – hopefully? Anyway – a big thank you to you both and your fabulous sponsors for such remarkable giveaways! Wow!

    Blessings,
    Donna

  597. Connie Smith

    Oh my gosh, I have been looking for a camera for the past 2 months. My camera is so old and pictures are just so so with it. So, if I won the $250 I would put it towards a new camera. Although, I have wanted a small tv for my craft room for sooo long. Then there is the laptop my husband has been look for. There are so many different things that we want right now and Adorama carries it all.

  598. Tiffany R

    I would spend $250 towards a traditional film camera. They can have a much cooler look than digital, and it’d be awesome to have both :)

  599. Tiffani

    Do they have instruction manuals for beginners? That’s what I’d start with, then a beginner camera. I need someone to act like I know absolutely nothing and start teaching me from there. :)

  600. Erin D.

    I would get a new lens. The refurbished Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Image Stabilized Telephoto Zoom Lens is $299. $250 would be really helpful for that!

  601. Alicia

    Oh my, if I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d put it towards a new IPad. I’ve been wanting for for travel. It would sure beat carrying around a laptop! Thanks for this amazing giveaway!!

  603. Allyson @ A Heart for Home

    Love this camera…I have the T2i and would love to upgrade to the T3! Then I can pass on my other to our son who will be taking a photography class. Thanks for these opportunities!

  611. Lisa Lewey-Shields

    If I had $250 to spend I would save it and then start saving $ to put with it to purchase a camera. I do not have one and when I take pictures, I have to borrow a camera or have someone take pictures and then email them to me. I have dreamt of having a really nice camera and am in awe of my blogger friends who post the most awesome pictures….. but daily bills are the way of life at this time. It is always nice to dream and have goals….. Thanks for another one !

    Lisa

  612. Erin D

  624. Karen

    I would put $250 toward a new camera at Adorama…my old one broke on our last trip and I’ve been using my phone to take pictures ever since. it’s not the same!

  636. Amanda

    Thank you for this opportunity! I have my fingers and toes crossed.

  637. Karen

  641. Jenn

    I just wanted to say that you and the companies supporting your blog are absolutely amazing! These are some life-changing give-aways (ok… so maybe that’s a bit overly dramatic, but seriously). I’d love to break my “off Facebook for Lent rule” for this give-away… I’ve been hankering for this camera for MONTHS! But, I promised my family… no Facebook until Easter…. so I’ll just take the 2 enteries I have and hope I get lucky!

    Happy 10th to you all!

  642. Hannah Burns.

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would look at a lens, reflectors, hmm… I’m not even sure. My sister in law is trying to get into photography, so if I won I might let her have dibs!

  643. Adelaida

    I would definitely get an external hard drive. That’s the one thing I’ve been wanting for a few years now and haven’t been able to get one!

  644. Tamara Drake

    With $250 to Adorama, I’d let my daughter, a photog major in college, get what she needs for class or to help her with getting her self set up to start working in photography as a profession.

    Thanks!

  645. Chelsea

  647. Rita

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I’d use it to purchase another lens for my DSLR. I’d probably have to add a little of my own cash, but I’ve been wanting a 50mm lens for about 4 years!!!!!

  648. Carrie

    I’d give it to one of my US girlfriends since there is no Adorama in the UK but if I could spend it I’d get my son his first point and shoot camera and put the rest towards a new 35mm prime lens for myself!

  649. Tina Dudley

    Ok only $250 but would put in the rest to buy IPAD!!! If not that a new camera with bag that is padded since dropped last one and doesn’t work. I would probably buy a cannon this time and not kodak.

  651. Melissa Kaye

    Happy Birthday and thanks for the giveaway!

  652. Stephanie

    I am camera-less at the moment due to my twin toddlers :(! So I would go for a point & shoot camera to keep with me at all times until I work my way up to a better one!!

  657. Tonya Isbell

    I’ve just been thinking about this giveaway. And I think I would probably give this to my niece for a graduation gift. She deserves it. She LOVES photography, and I think she would be the perfect person for it. She needs something nice to take pictures with for all the memories she is about to embrace and all the experiences she is about to embark on. Yup, that’s what I’d do w/ this giveaway! :)

  658. Tonya Isbell

    You are the most AWESOME!!! What a great week this has been w/ all the wonderful giveaways!!! I’d put the $250 towards a new lens. I am getting totally addicted to lenses. My SIL said I would, and she was RIGHT!!

  659. Debi Griffin

    I’d get a small digital camera with $250 from Adorama! My son is away at college and he gave his camera to my other son who’s in Ghana with the Peace Corps… so the younger one has no camera for all those college photos mom needs to scrapbook! :)

  660. carrie

    susie

  666. Jen Hilligus

    I’m thinking I’d buy an additional camera that I’d feel comfortable taking on a motorcycle (without fear of dropping it) one for the road, the other for the destination!

  667. Aidan Drew

    http://www.adorama.com/GALSU.html

    I saw a tutorial (not on kevinandamanda blog) that shows how you can make almost the same Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal System Cloud by cutting a rubbing alcohol plastic bottle and getting the same effect as the Gary Fong product. I tried it, and the bottle fits on my external flash PERFECTLY! I don’t know.. there are a lot of people that say there is a difference, but I don’t want to spend $70+ to find out. Rather use my $1 rubbing alcohol bottle diffuser. Go an Go*gle (search engine) “DIY Gary Fong Lightsphere alcohol bottle” to get the forum with directions and all. It’s real easy, and if it works for you, then you got a lightsphere for way less than the one sold by Gary Fong.

  668. Maarja

    I’d spend it toward a Canon T3i, another lens to take amazing travel photos – that would be a wide-angle lens.

    This giveaway is unbelievable, absolutely fantastic!
    Lots of hugs,
    Maarja

  669. carmel atanasu-teeters

    I would get a camera for my daughter who lives in California (I live on the coast of Georgia) to take pictures of her daughter to send to me!!!

  670. Kennedy

  671. Viki Powell

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama it would definitely go towards the purchase of a new camera…I was told by my daughter that her photography professor called my camera a dinosaur!!!! Guess I need an update:)

  672. Jess

    If I won this chance to spend $250 at Adorama,
    I’d think it was finally a kind of karma –
    I enter competitions all the time,
    Although it’s rare for me to submit a rhyme,
    I usually enter because , well – why not?
    But this comp is one that I love – ALOT!!
    Firstly Kevin & Amanda your blog is just fab –
    As is the prize which is up for the grab!
    It’s already enough that you brighten my days,
    When your emails arrive , and in so many ways:
    Recipes to try, and and tips that are great,
    And other lovely stuff that I highly rate –
    Plus now to celebrate your tenth Birthday
    Instead of receiving you’re giving something away!
    So really I guess if I won, the right thing to do
    Would be to choose something for you!
    But Adorama to me is like a sweetie shop for a child,
    The kind of place I could run wild –
    So if I won the camera which would be just the best,
    I’d choose something for me and with the rest,
    I’d try to get you something lovely, shiny and new;
    To say ‘Thanks & HAPPY TENTH BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!’

    :0) xx

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, what would I get? This is a fantastic and difficult question. The site has much to buy. Truth be told, I’ve been wanting a DSLR for a very long time. I would probably use the money to help reduce the cost of a really good DSLR.

  687. Kristi

    Honestly, I would bug you to put thr $250 away, save it whatever way you could until I had enough for a camera. All I want is to take photos and as a military stay at home mom, it has been impossible to save because my family comes first. If I won this camera I would offer all the military families around me family photos, maternity photos, and homecomming photos just to give back for there service. This would seriously be my dream come true.

  718. Kristi

    What would I do with $250 from Adorama? I’ve been saving for a new DSLR and some extras but haven’t gotten very far. Winning the grand prize would be the best treat, but if not, I would definitely put the $250 towards a new camera.

  753. Karla

    It’d to toward a fancy camera! I have a point and shoot, but if I had a fancy one I think more pictures would get taken.

  754. AC Bamblett

    With my $250, I’d get a great little point-and-shoot to complement this awesome artistic camera that I’m about to win! Like a high-end, waterproof Nikon Coolpix or a serious Canon Powershot. I need to cover all my bases if I’m going to capture this little bundle of energy that’s getting ready to be born.

  755. Anth

    I’m entering this contest for my husband, who loves taking pics! If I had $250 at Adorama, I’d get a lens for my husband! He’d love it.

  756. Lisa

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would at the very least upgrade from my old point-and-shoot digital to a newer, better one!

  757. Rachel Osowski

    Honestly I’m just starting out so I would get all I could to get started on the full she-bang that you’re so graciously giving away!

  758. Amber

    I would definitely buy the AOC 20-inch flat screen computer monitor to replace my very old eMachines monitor I’ve been using for the past 5 years. And also buy a new keyboard and mouse.

  759. aidan

    I would buy my father an IPAD 4G. He would be so happy to have one. Of course they cost over $800+ but still the $250 would give me a nice chunk off the reg. price ;)

  760. carly gonzalez

    if i had $250 to spend i would get the 50mm 1.8 lens that has been on my wish list for a few months, or a new tripod.

  761. Karen Johnston

    I would get an extra battery in order to always be prepared. I would also put money towards a powerful lens or maybe a tripod. Extra Assessories!!!!

  762. Gayatri

    Ohmigosh! 1800+ comments! I have the worst luck ever and don’t really have any hopes of winning but what’s the harm in entering :) .. Although, if I did get 250 dollars to spend – and if I could use it towards buying the above slr camera (and pay for the rest), I would, since I cant afford to buy an slr camera otherwise.

    Thanks for having such lovely giveaways! And a very very happy birthday Kevin and Amanda!! Wish you many more wonderful years to come! xx

  763. Sondra

    My boyfriend’s mom needs a camera case. The rest would be for me to buy things for our camera. I’m not sure what that would be yet. There are so many things to choose from.

  764. Jenn Fields

    I would use $250 at Adorama to get a new iPad! My boys loooove playing some of the educational apps / games and since we had two at once (twins!) they have to share :) We’d probably still make them share and use the new one ourselves!! LOL Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!!

  765. Katie

    Oh, I’d definitely spend the $250 on MORE accessories for the camera I’m going to win. Oh, my fingers are crossed *tightly* on this one! This has been amazing! You should have blogaversaries more often. :)

  766. Jess

    If I had $250 dollars to spend at Adorama, I would buy a new lens! I only have the kit lens for my Canon right now, and I would love to have another lens to use. =)

  767. Sheila MacLeod

    This would be so cool to win….I don’t have a DSLR yet so I could use the Bonus $$$ on all kinds of things…..thanks and Congrats on 10 years……WoooHooo!!!

  768. Meghan

    This is the most amazing giveaway ever!
    If I won $250 to Adorama…well I would definitely get a camera tripod since I’ve been wanting one for awhile now. But there is just so much to choose from it would need a lot of pondering.

  769. Karla A

    I would use it toward a DSLR camera as I do not have one, and while my point and shoot is OK, I am getting back into photography, and would love a DSLR. Though I will greatly miss working in the darkroom, I spent many hours holed up in the Darkroom in college. I would also get a portable light tent so I can get better pictures of my art to sell on Etsy.

  770. Tian H.

    I would love to spend $250 to buy Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III USM Autofocus Telephoto Zoom Lens, so it’d be perfect with the Canon camera, :)

  771. Trace Hillman

    I would spend me $250 at Adorama to purchase this macro lens: Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro Standard AutoFocus Lens – USA

  772. Gina

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would shop for a wide angle lens.
    Thanks so much for this generous offer.
    Happy Birthday Kevin&Amanda

  773. Rachel @ Grasping for Objectivity

    Happy bloggy birthday!!!

  774. Ellen DeLong

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama…I would put it towards an 85mm lens or some new backdrops! I am in need of a new stand!

  775. Mandi

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d put the money towards a new lens for my camera, or an extra battery. Thank you for such a great giveaway!

  776. Jennifer Hirschi

    If I had $250 to spend with Adorama it would be hard to chose what to get because they offer so much! I need a camera and would love to win the one offered, but I also have a ton of photos that could really use a home in some photo books, or maybe a nice background for the portraits I like to stage, or new binoculars for my hubby (his birthday is coming up).

  777. Linda W.

    I would buy some awesome lens filters for the camera
    If I won… Another dream come true! Thanks Kevin and Amanda! And Adorama!

  778. Amy

    Well that is a loaded question LOL. I would get a digitial photo frame (of course if you ask me tomorrow it might be printer ink or a new lense for the camera I own now). Too many choices, but fun to think about.
    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  779. Gina H

    If I had $250 to spend I would use it to buy a better camera (if I didn’t win this one that is ;) ) or use it to make photo books of my pics.

  782. Yvette Dagen

    I’m a Canon girl! If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would use it as a downpayment to purchase a new camera! Got to have he latest and greatest.

  783. Katie Fisher

    This supposed $250 to spend at Adorama is entirely conditional. See, I’d have to have a DSLR camera first… ;)

    But THEN! Oh, THEN I would make sure I was well-stocked on all of my needed camera accessories: case, tripod, baterries, memory cards, etc.

  784. Dani @ Cloud 8½

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama on top of winning this fabulous giveaway, I would use the funds toward another lens!

  785. Megan Reed

    If I had $250 to spend on Adorama I would use it towards a DSLR camera. I have never owned one and have always wanted one. I am not sure though which one would be recommended for a newbie.

  786. Courtney

    I’ve been eyeballing the Manfrotto 7322YB M-Y Carbon Basalt Tripod Legs with ball head on the Adorama so I’d probably splurge and get it if I had $250 to spend there!

  787. Cathy

    OMG… I would love to have $250 to spend at Adorama… I would actually like to sign up for workshops to improve my photo taking skills.

    If I didn’t win this contest I would use the money to buy a new camera but since I know I am going to win I would use it towards a Canon 4905B005. :)

  792. Alicia Kitchenman

    If i had $250 to spend i’d get myself a good camera to take pics of the food i make for my new catering business!

  793. Brandi Starr

    I would probably put a gift certificate from Adorama towards a camcorder! I’ve never had one. I think it’s time. I can’t decide exactly which one I want yet.

  794. Emily Derewonko

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would get a tripod for my camera or a new lens. It would also nice to have $250 towards a new Ipad:)

  802. Brandi @ His Shabby Her Chic

    If I had $250 to spend I would put it towards a new iPad! I’ve been sharing the original and I want a new one of my own.

  805. Amanda

  822. Jordan S.

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d put it towards a DSLR camera. I’ve been using an old point and shoot – not a very good one either.

  834. Amy Wetzel

  835. Shara S.

  847. Michelle M.

  848. Brenda Hulsey

    I would spend it on a new camera if I don’t win this one! This is the first time I have been without a camera since I was in the 4th grade! And that was a long time ago! Mine was stolen in a break in and I sure do miss it!

    I would definitely buy a smaller camera because sometimes my huge camera is just not practical. It would also be nice to have a camera and a video camera in one! I’ve gotta a little one, so I need a little camera to capture all her cuteness while we’re out and about!

  885. Lorie

    If I had $250 dollars to spend at Adorama (which I love… it’s where I got my current camera) I would get the 50mm f1.8 that you’re giving away and some filters. That would make me a happy, happy girl.

  894. NanaBread (Jeanne)

    Oooo… with $250 from Adorama, I’d look for a really good digital pocket camera. Mine met a violent death when my granddaughter dropped an unfinished bottle into my bag, which was sitting next to her car seat. Been looking at the Canon Elph, which they just happen to carry!

  895. jayne

    I would SPEND IT!!!!! I love photography and would get a few things to improve my skills at taking pictures of my quilts!!!!

And put all my contact information in it so hopefully if someone ever got a hold of it they might feel like returning it…although I would guard it with my life!

  901. Chrichelle Fernandez

    I’d get extra lenses and filters! FANTASTIC giveaway!!! Thank you for the opportunity! …and Happy Birthday! =) <3

  903. SharonS

    If I had $250 from Adorama I’d put it towards a Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens – Black and make up the difference :o) Thanks for a chance to win!

  904. Laura Fitzgerald

    I seriously need an all-puropose lens… like the Canon EF-S 18-200 lens, but the price itself is really high…. $250 gift card toward it would make it in the range of justifiable purchasing!

  907. Lacie

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would probably spend it all on making digital scrapbooks with the photos I already have. Since everything had turned digital it seems now that we don’t get our photos printed out anymore and just look at them on the computer…but I want my children to look at a photo album of them growing up just like I did with my mothers.

  908. Tracey

    That new Canon is a beauty. We’ve loved our 10 megapixel!! That website is seriously amazing…probably take me days to find all the stuff I could buy, but I think I’d pick up some lighting pieces for my husband. Something portable so he could do outside portrait work.

    Thanks for the opportunity, Kevin & Amanda & Adorama!!

  909. Avis Peterson

    With $250, I would certainly buy a wildlife camera. I just studied the specs on one from Adorama, and it has great features. Perfect for our ‘end of the road’ location where we have loads of deer, coyotes, a few cougar, golden eagles and bald eagles.
    In addition, I spied an ipad that looks sweet!
    Cheers!
    Avis

  915. Lacey McGowan

    I would definately put that $250.00 towards a new camera – it’s Bluebonnet season here in Texas – time to start shooting!

  916. Becky

    I would have to let my hubby help me decide on what to get since he’s more of a camera buff than me but more than likely I’d get a new camera. My hubby and me both love taking pictures but he’s the camera savvy one in the relationship so I trust whatever he says on that subject but I love taking pics and seeing how many out of the box pics I can get esp. aged houses and barns landscapes. Hugs, Becky

  917. Dawn

    Thanks SO much for the awesome giveaway!!!

  923. Beth

  924. Chere Mortensen

    If I had 250. to spend at Adorama It would have to be in the camera bag department. Adorama is one of my favorite stores in NY. I can spent hours there. Love it.

  925. Joelle Wilson

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would buy umbrellas and a tripod and new lights (I could gush with the possibilities!) and keep equipment set up at ALL times to take pics of my 1 year old daughter!

  926. Sally

    Oh my – well I SO DON’T know anything about fancy cameras – although I’d love to learn — so if I had money to spend in this way, I would totally be asking an expert for something good for a beginner. Does that qualify as an answer? – LOL.

  927. Emily McHenry

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d put more of my money with it and buy a new professional camera so I could capture every noteworthy moment of my life, because I tend to forget things too easily. I’d also bless others with bridal pics and baby pics.

  928. Maria

    I would love to put the $250 from Adorama toward a beautiful new camera or if I was lucky enough to win this wonderful camera I would spend the money on accessories.

  938. Lauren

    After struggling with an underwater camera case on our cruise last week, I’d have to say that I’d go for the Canon Powershot Waterproof Digital Camera. It looks pretty awesome!!

  939. Annie R

    I would use the $250 towards purchasing myself a new camera!!! How much more incentive could one need to replace the old?!

  940. Alison

    I would put the 250$ toward a new camera. We have a baby girl coming in June and I would love to capture all those precious memories with a great camera!

    If I had an extra $250, I would do one of two things.
    1) Donate to the local food ministry in my county. I live in a poverty level part of the state where the average income is minimum wage, so with rising costs [fuel, food, etc.] a lot of families are doing without. I shop at the local church thrift store a lot, as well. I enjoy giving back to my community!
    2) I would go get Light Room for my photography business! I’ve always used Picasa, Photoscape or PhotoShop Elements [even though I’m horrible with Elements]. I LOVE Light Room and have learned so much more about my camera through your tutorial, so I want to have a great editing system.

  1041. Meara

    If I $250 to spend at Adorama, I would put it towards a new camera!

    As hard as it would be to prioritize my wish list, I would gladly do it for a gift card. It’d make it even easier to scratch a new camera off!

  1137. Kimberly Purcell

    Camera and photography books can be expensive. I would purchase books to learn more about my camera and how to improve my skills. I would also get a camera backpack to carry my camera.

  1138. Jackie B

    Ooooh, with that much money from Adorama? I’d have to give it to my sister-in-law who is an excellent photographer!

  1151. Heaven H.

    I would get the Canon PowerShot Elph 310 HS. Just to have a compact digital camera on hand. Plus they come in cute colors. :)

  1155. Doni

    I most definitely would purchase two digital cameras for my two daughters. They are always taking photos of themselves and their friends….and posting them on Facebook….and I can never find my own camera because either one of them is borrowing it!

  1156. Krissy

    If I had $250 to spend with Adorama, I’d get an Apple 16GB iPad 2 Tablet with 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 9.7 inch LED Multi-Touch Display, Black . Wow, awesome giveaway! Thanks for a chance to win!

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’ll absolutely get this Nikon FM-10 35mm SLR Camera Body Kit With Nikon 35-70mm F3.5-4.8 Zoom Lens!
    I’ve been wanting a slr film camera, and it’s the right choice with the right price! ;)

  1161. Raynelle

    I would put it towards an ipad for my preschool class. We got to try some out on loan from our local AEA and they are such an amazing and fun learning tool. The kids have been begging to get one for our classroom ever since so I’d give the money to our parent advisory board and together we’d work to raise enough funds to pay for the rest. Gosh it’s fun to dream about free money.

  1162. Disneypal

    If I had $250 from Adorama, I’d spend it all on the nice photo albums they have so I can store all photos that I am going to take with this camera I am going to win (hopefully)

    Thank you for a Great giveaway!! I’d love to purchase a flash and maybe a new lens to take photos of my new bundle of joy due July 1st!!

  1166. Colleen

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama I would buy lenses!!! I’ve taken some photography classes, but I don’t have any good lenses. In fact, I only have a basic one that came with my camera. I need more!!! :)

  1167. Chelsea

    I would definately buy a lens or some accessory for the camera or a video camera since we are having our first baby in sept!

  1168. Mendy

    If I had $250, I’d add to my savings to buy a new camera to take 1000’s of pictures. I’m a “photo junkie” in that way! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  1169. Erin Grizzard

    Photography is my passion, so my wish list is always a mile long! I’d probably put the money toward a good zoom lens for my travels. Another great giveaway!

  1170. Amy

    This is an amazing giveaway. My husband and I share his Nikon, but I always had a Canon back when we still used film! This would be an awesome way for me to have my own camera and not have to argue with him on vacation about who gets to take the pictures! Thanks

  1171. Donna

    I have have been an avid photographer since i was very young and have always wanted a digital SLR camera but have never been able to justify purchasing one. I have a film SLR and a digital point and shoot already so really dont “need” one I would take my birthday money and the $250 gift certificate to Adorama and finally purchase that Canon SLR.
    Thanks for this awesome opportunity.

  1172. Emily Friend

    Dark room supplies! Im desperatel trying to bring back my grandfather’s film processing techniques. It’s so difficult to find anyone to do it, so I need to stock up so I can! :)

  1173. Sally

    I’d use the money towards accessories as I always seem to “get by” and save for the bigger items. Such a cool giveaway!

  1174. Crystal

    I think I’d probably buy a point and shoot digital camera that is waterproof. We love to go to the beach and I always worry about taking my regular camera there. It would be nice to be able to just relax and shoot away without fear of ruining my equipment! Thanks for the chance to win!

  1175. Maria Elena

    Bonjour! I would definitely buy a beginner’s photography book and then perhaps a nice carry-all for all the equipment, or perhaps just put it towards a nice camera!

  1176. Jessica Gill

    If I won the $250 Dollars at Adorama, I would let my younger brother pick out some things for his camera. He is a wonderful amateur photog and this would be a wonderful present for him!

  1177. Julie Gade

    Definitely another lens to go with this unbelievable prize! Love taking photos and I am in need of an update…don’t have an SLR!

  1178. Jana

    Ooooh, this is tough to choose. If I were to spend $250 at Adorama, I’d put in another couple of bucks and splurge on the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Compact Macro AutoFocus Lens. I love macro pics and they just don’t come out as well with my old-fashioned one.

  1179. Janet

    I get kidded about the amount of pictures I take all the time and would love the opportunity to shop at Adorama. Thank you so much. What a fun week!

  1180. Michelle G

    WOW! What a great prize. I have a new lens that I would really like to have, but haven’t been comfortable enough to spend the money!

  1181. Grace E.

    If I had an extra $250 I would buy a lighting kit and backdrop to take better pictures for my etsy store. I’ve always wanted to get those things! Thank you!!

  1182. Trish

    Oh this is an awesome giveaway! If I had $250 to adorama, I’d need to find a way to magically make that amount grow… so many more things I want. In order of how much I want them: an up-to-300-mm zoom lens, a speedlight, a shutter remote, a wide-angle lens, and that’s just the camera stuff. Then I’d drift off into all their other categories and really go broke :)

  1183. Jessica T.

    Oh how I would love to win this camera and be able to take beautiful pictures of my daughter and husband! If I won the gift card I would put it towards a better point and shoot because I just can’t afford to get a DSLR. :(

  1184. Kim

    I would use it to but the t3 camera! This is exactly the camera I’ve been wanting–but need to save up for. The gift card would help out so much!

  1185. Amanda

    If I could buy something from Adorama I’d definitely be choosing Adobe Photoshop Lightroom V4 for my computer to enhance all the beautiful photos I’d be taking! :)

  1186. Chelsea

    I would definitely use the money towards a new lens…..now which one? Who knows.. a good zoom lens would be nice, or a macro lens, or a fish eye lens would be quite cool. A wide angle lens! The options are endless..

  1187. Melissa P. @Mel4Him

    I am so in need of another lens. I would purchase the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Wide Angle Auto Focus Nikkor Lens – U.S.A. Warranty $199.95

  1191. Ellen Goodman

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would buy a new camera. I need a great camera to take lots of great pictures of our children!!

  1192. Emily B

    I’d used $250 towards getting a DSLR camera. I love my point and shoot but I want to upgrade in the world of cameras and $250 would be a good start.

  1193. Kim

    If i had $250 to spend at Adorama, i would you get? This Photography How to Book i have seen around $220 so i could perfect photography.

  1194. Danice

    I would put the $250 toward a camera for my daughter and son-in-law so they can take beautiful pictures of their new baby girl, Avery, who is scheduled to arrive on April 10, 2012!

  1195. Gerty

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d buy myself a Tamrac3375 Aero Speed Pack 75 in black so I can house my albeit entry level dslr with my 70-200 lens (on the wishlist too!) and take my family overseas and have the best of both worlds….a great holiday and the photographic gear to help me capture every moment whilst being kept snug and safe in my backpack.

  1196. Danice

    If I won a $250 gift certificate to Adorama I would want to purchase a good camera bag, a good tripod, photoshop software and anything that will help me with lighting issues. I realize I probably couldn’t afford ALL of these things, but the $250 would help make a nice dent in the total! Adorama s a great store with so many good choices, I couldn’t pick just one thing!

  1199. Sue Patrick

    I would buy the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II Inkjet Photo Printer. I still can’t get rafflecopter to work though.

  1200. Amanda

    I could really use a tripod to help with my night shots. If I had $250, I would try out this tripod:
    Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Black Aluminum Pro Tripod Legs with 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head, Max Load: 8.8 lb., Max Height 62″.

  1201. Jamie Ang

  1202. Jenny w

    Accessories, accessories and more accessories. Such as a spare battery, spare lense cover, more storage cards……oh the list goes on and on. Then I would start dreaming about a new lens or two……

  1203. barbara noland

    my daughter will be studying abroad in Portugal. I would love for her to have an Ipad from Adorama, but the Canon camera with an extra lens would be perfect for her trip. thanks for the opportunity.

  1206. Mindy

    I would love to put the $250 gift certificate together with more money to buy another lens! That would be awesome! I only have the one lens that came with my camera kit when I bought it, so a second lens would be super!

    1. Mindy

      Karen: are you able to click the “submit” button above? the blue one from rafflecopter? It won’t work for me :(

  1207. leah froehle

  1208. Jana

    Ah, this is harrrrd. If I were to spend $250 at Adorama, I’d probably add a few extra dollars and splurge on the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Compact Macro AutoFocus Lens. I’m a sucker for good macro pics and my baby doesn’t have a macro lense yet.

    If I had $250 to spnd at Adorama I would get the Canon PowerShot d10 Compact Digital Camera Kit and maybe a brand new camera bag!!

  1217. Jill T.

  1218. Lynna H.

    easy! hehe, the Rosco LitePad HO + Daylight (5800K) 3″ CIRCLE Featherweight LED Panel!! and the i`ll use the rest of the money for various camera assessories!

  1219. Corbin C.

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I would buy a new camera for my younger brother. He has been selling a bunch of his stuff to make enough money to buy a camera. He has never owned a professional camera and would enjoy this gift a lot. He would also be extremely happy because on top of me getting him a new camera, he would also have the money that he has been working hard for. It would be a nice thing to be able to do as an older brother. I would probably not be able to buy a new camera with only $250, but I would spend some of my money and buy the camera for him. He would be so surprised and grateful.

  1220. Kelly Robison

    I would probably spend it towards a SLR camera after doing some research on the best one for my needs. I have been wanting to get more into photography and become better at taking pictures and capturing moments.

  1221. Kristin

    I’d get a tripod, some more battery power, I’d get a whole slew of toys to go with the camera, and anything else I could find that would help me take great photos!!!

  1222. Arbine

    If I had $250 from Adorama I would get this:
    Sony PRS-T1 6″ Digital E-ink Pearl Wi-Fi Reader, 800 x 600 Screen Resolution, 1.3GB Internal Memory, Red.

  1224. Vanessa Astudillo

    If I had the $250 gift card, I’d put it towards a new lens for my camera, maybe 1-2 back-up batteries, and another memory card.

  1225. Cade

    If I had $250 to spend at Adorama, I’d buy a nice lens to take quality video and a microphone to distinguish the sound in high definition. But first I need to get a camera to do so.

  1226. Cassie Tucker

    If I had $250 to spend I would use it towards a lighting kit and backdrops so that I could take better pictures of my cupcakes and cookies.

  1227. Melanie

    If I had $250 to spend, I would use it toward a Macro lens purchase! I’ve been DYING to get my hands on the Canon 100mm! :)

  1228. Linda

    Well, if I didn’t win the Camera loot, which I will, of course, I would go to their site and get the most I could towards a DSLR set. I have only had point and shoot cameras and since I live in the San Diego area, I would love to be able to have a nicer setup to capture some of the beauty that is around me!

  1229. Sara

    OMG $250 at Adorama…. So may things and so little time. Honestly I would probably make a list (I am a planner to a T) and figure out what I really want vs need, but whatever it is it would be awesome! Great giveaway!

  1230. Leslie Kiley

    I would use it on a start to lighting equipment! Always wanted to get a start on trying it at home! Happy tenth Birthday and thanks for a chance at this beautiful new camera! Mine is 10 years old and time for a upgrade!

  1231. Wombatish

    Oh man, that camera.

    And with the giftcard I’d totally partially fund a lens for my current, significantly wimpier body. It might even make it doable before my first post-camera vacation (and first vacation in general in a while!!)

  1232. Nalani

    That website is so cool! I don’t even know where to start with what I would get… Ahhh it’s so hard to choose! Maybe put it towards a tv? Since I don’t currently have one :)

  1233. Melissa

    Hi Amanda & Kevin,

    I would buy a close-up lens for those wonderful close-up shots, or a camera bag. I need a new camera and would so love to win this.

    Melissa Kalson

  1234. Cat Davis

    It’s hard to pick but I think I would start with the Cloud Dome Infinity Board Digital Lighting Kit. Lighting is my biggest photography trouble and I’d love to have a basic set up like that.

  1235. Dee

    I would put the $250.00 toward a tv for my bedroom. The one I’m using now is ancient & the colors bleed into one another.
