Just letting everyone know if they don't already. B&H has shipped their Winter 2010 catalogs. I received mine today, woohoo, what can I buy.

I got mine last weekend. I've never seen their printed catalog before, so it was a bit of a kid-in-a-candy-store moment to leaf through it.

I will be keeping it for future gear lust moments. ;)

Same here, Received mine last weekend as well. Had ordered from them for the first time earlier in the year, and did not realize they put out a catalog. It was quite the pleasant surprise when I opened my mailbox.

It's a nice catalog but I hate all of the call or log on to see the price things. I know I'm not going to buy a pro video camera but I'm still curious how much they cost(just not curious enough to log on).

My 2 year old was caught on camera sitting on his potty chair thumbing through the new B&H catalog. Training them early.

Got mine last week as well. Even though I can find all that info and more online, I still rejoice in flipping through these catalogs for some reason. :)

I've been getting these since I bought some lightstands from them a couple of years ago. I learned alot just reading it, such as lens lineups and equipment existence :)
I was like "I didn't know they made something like that!"

In the printed catalog, for example, one can see a concise list of Canon lenses with prices behind it. There isn't an equivalent view on the web site without a bunch of scrolling and advancing to additional pages.

Plus, on the web site, I'm not suddenly going to look at professional sound boards and photojournalist a/v editing consoles. :p

So, we flip away just for fun.

isn't gear lust one of the original sins...must be as it seems so natural. I recycled mine already as to not have to have temptation staring me in the face so readily:)

It's online. See http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/FreeCatalog.jsp

We hate this too, but when manufacturer's MAP restrictions force our hand, we have no option. The other issue is this is a quarterly catalogue and in many cases prices fluctuate.

I hope he had a ball point pen and a highlighter with him. :-)

So, we flip away just for fun.That's exactly right! I look through the sections I would normally not care to look for online as well, hehe.

I'm also guilty of looking at the competition's offerings, Nikon, Sony, etc. in the catalog, but I never do this on the web site, hahaha. :shock::D

I've already folded over a couple of pages with some BRIGHT RED check marks beside a couple of items, and left it sitting out where my wife might look at it.

I've never been very subtle.....

I also recieved 2 of them. Now I can put one in my office and read it instead of work. I can see it now, Inmates will be escaping and I will be reading my catalog oblivious to what is going on around me.

Actually, he had one of those Crayola markers that will only mark on special paper. I told my wife that he said I could get the 400 2.8 for Christmas. She didn't buy that.

Just make another B&H account, and order something from it :p
I get two, because my dad has an account, and so do I. He's ordered some stuff for me, and I've ordered some stuff for myself. :lol:

E-mail me with your snail mail name/address/phone and I'll send one to you. I hope it's okay if I fold down a couple of pages for things I want too. :-)

I will do that!
Found it in the mailbox last night and took it to work today. The majority of the reactions from my co-workers went something like "Oh, hell no! Get that thing away from me!":lol::lol:

does adorama have one too?

Yes. But it's not really a catalog at all. It's more like leaflet. :oops:And not a very big leaflet, at that. :oops::oops:

It certainly wouldn't make a good doorstop.........:o:o:o

LOL my 2-1/2 year old was looking through it too (not on the potty tho). Made me proud and wanna get him his own camera but ummm... he's 2-1/2, that thing wouldn't last a day.
