Forget the Black Friday crowds, buy your cameras here

I was actually thinking of heading out to Walmart with my cameras to see what type of action I can capture on this Black Friday.

But then I got smart.

Besides, I need to finish an extensive commercial video project, so although there are a few stories I want to write, I need to earn some money.

Speaking of which, if anybody is considering buying a camera or accessories for the holidays why not buy through Photography is Not a Crime?

All you have to do is click here and you will access B&H Photo and Video, which is the prime choice for photographers anyway. By buying your products through that link (or the one on the right sidebar), B&H will throw a few dollars my way, which will go towards the maintenance of this site.

And I won’t go into details yet, but I do have plans to expand this site for the upcoming year to get more readers involved in directly contributing news stories.

    Looked on the B&H website but could not find a voice recorder small enough to hide easily. I did see a Pen w/ camera/recorder and USB input but not sure if it had sound. If I could find a pen that just had a voice recorder, that would be perfect.

    P.S. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    Check out this video at around 1:35 where the WalMart security guards ask Channel 7 to leave

    I guess by prohibiting photography they could ensure plausible deniability since there would be no record of an incident if it did occur :)

    walmart and other large stores do not want photography inside because of competitive pricing. I learned this many years ago as a temporary employee of Fry’s Electronics.

    EdInMiami: They make digital recorders that are small enough to fit into a cigarette pack box, and smaller. Sony makes incredibly tiny high quality recorders, as well, some about 25% bigger than a pack of gum, and they almost all use the memory stick flash devices for easy transfer.

    NYC,

    The video ends at 1:28 and I didn’t see anything you mentioned.
