Adorama does a great job of printing and mounting large photo prints. They recently printed 20×30 prints mounted on black styrene for me. Excellent quality at a fair price.
B&H is a great source for the latest equipment, information, and inspiration. Check out the buying guides and educational videos in their InDepth educational section of the website. Servicing photographers for over 35 years, B&H carries an unbeatable selection of digital cameras, DSLRs, camera lenses and other accessories—all at the great prices. If you are in New York City, be sure to go into the superstore at 420 9th Ave at 34th street.
Canonpricewatch.com was founded in 2010 out of a need for good, honest, price comparisons for Canon photography equipment. The site is run by a small group of photography professionals, and they only list the most reputable merchants. They update prices hourly and let photographers track the changing prices through handy graphs. They also offer a notification service when in-stock prices drop or used/refurbished that you are interested in is available. Adorama regularly has great deals on Canon items that aren’t available through normal searching on their website. These deals don’t generally last long but are listed here on Canon Price Watch.
