Canon T3i and Two Lenses Giveaway from Adorama

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. It’s basically everything you need for a fully-loaded camera bag!  Just check out what all is up for grabs today.

 

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!

    Hello,

    About a month ago, one of my twin three-year-old daughters was diagnosed with Leukemia, we have been using our phones to document our life as much as possible, but it would be wonderful to be able to take some nice pictures to keep to remember this time. The gift card would help buy a nice camera to take pictures of my girls. Thanks. :)

    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!

    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.

    First, i would give the camera to my Dad…i have an okay camera, but i remember when I was a kid he would take pictures all the time. People even used him for their weddings!! I have shoeboxes of photos he took. He enjoyed it, our laundry room used to be his dark room where he would develop his pictures. The camera store he always went to, is still there….lol. 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! Thank you so much for the chance!!
