Photo Zone is pleased to announce the DigiClub, a new way to save money on Digital prints, frames, photo albums, batteries, photo gifts, and much more.  The DigiClub was designed to provide our customers with a way to preserve their digital pictures more easily while saving money at the same time.

We have found that since the majority of our customers have switched to digital photography we do not see them as often as we did in the days of 35mm film. This is because they no longer need to drop off a roll of film before they can see their pictures. This is really a double edged sword. On the one hand they can see their pictures immediatly and show them off to friends and family without the need to make prints. On the other hand we see a growing number of pictures lost forever due to  a combination of  issues that go along with digital photography. From lost memory cards to accidentally deleted images and hard drive crashes, the ways in which people continue to lose irreplacable pictures has become a major concern for us.

I think one of the best ways for our customers to protect themselves from the loss of digital images is to print their pictures more often, save them to a high quality CD, then save them to their computers hard drive and/or an external hard drive. If you print your pictures after each event or within a short time of when they are taken, you will not end up with hundreds of pictures to sort through to find the ones you really want. If you have ever spent hours looking for pictures on various memory cards, flash drives, CD’s, etc. then you know what I am talking about. The simple fact is that it was and still is easier to find and show people prints then it is to find and show digital images. I can’t tell you how many customers have found digital photography a frustrating expereience simply because they can’t find the pictures that they want. If they were in a good old fashioned photo album, problem solved!

Join Photo Zone’s Digiclub, order prints in store or on line at our website, and you never pay more then 29 cents for a 4×6 print. You also get Photo Zones professional lab quality prints. We have developed (no pun intended) a reputation as the premier photo lab in Morris County. Our lab personal work hard to give our customers the best print quality from their digital images. Join the Digiclub today and start saving money and preserving your precious photos at the same time.

The new Nikon D5000 just arrived. This step up from the Nikon D60 has some great features and some that no other Nikon DSLR has. The first thing that makes this camera stand out is the new Vari-angle monitor. This is a 2.7″, 230,000 dot monitor that allows you to view 100% of the image from low and high angles. The Vari-monitor also folds into the back of the camera so that your LCD screen is protected when it is not being used.  The Vari-monitor is great for waist level shots, over the head shots and much more. When you couple this with the Live View feature, a whole new world of possibilities opens up. The new Nikon D5000 also incorporates 11 point auto focus which is excellent for anyone shooting action shots. If you have children involved in sports this is a major advantage as you can shoot at about 4 frames per second and the camera will keep focus tracking your subject. This means more in focus shots of action subjects.  In addition the D5000 also has a built in sensor cleaning system, 19 fully automatic  scene modes, in camera special effects,  D-movie mode and more.

The new Nikon D5000 promises to be a great addition to the Nikon line-up. Stop in today and see Nikon’s newest DSLR. You’ll be glad you did!
