Canon Tricks Out for ELPH

Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like jewelry, right?

Canon apparently agrees: the company’s ELPH camera line is turning 10 years old, and in celebration the company plans to roll out a sweepstakes on its PowerShot Web site which will give 10 winners customized, jewel-encrusted Canon PowerShot Digital ELPH cameras created by the NYC Peach design team.

In addition, each winner and a guest will be brought to New York City for VIP, private seating treatment at the Z100’s Jungle Ball 2006 on December 15, 2006 at Madison Square Garden. Winners will receive round trip airfare, deluxe hotel accommodations, plus a limo to and from the concert: the winners will also by hosted by on of te concert performers at a pre-show event.

Canon also plans to give away five more jeweled ELPHs on January 9, 2007, in Las Vegas to benefit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Contest registration will go live on the PowerShot site in late October.

So, it's a great time to shop if you've been on the fence. However, we wanted to call out a great deal for novice photographers on the Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera. Normally $600, it's just $429 right now as part of the event, saving you over $170. The bundle includes the RF-S18-45mm lens. Again, a great starting point for casual or novice photographers.

My favorite SD card reader is a mere $15 for Prime Big Deal Days

The Lexar USB-C SD card reader.

I take a lot of pictures on a daily basis. And while I usually get to offload them in the comfort of my home, sometimes I need to export as quickly as possible. Maybe even straight from my phone.

That's where my new favorite SD card reader comes in.

A NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) has posted a beautiful image showing an aurora over Earth.

Matthew Dominick has been aboard the ISS since March and is due to return home on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on Sunday. In fact, it was from the docked Crew Dragon that he captured the stunning shot.
