B&H iphone app

From one of our guest bloggers Ethan Gurney, who lives in Naples, Italy:

I live outside of Naples, Italy with my three dogs, whom I love taking pictures of.   Because I love taking photos, I take my camera with me almost everywhere I go.  It is usually while I am out somewhere taking pictures that I think of an accessory that I could really use, but when I get home I forget to order it.  It is not until the next time that I am out shooting pictures that I think about it again.  Now there is a great iphone app that has solved this problem for me!  With the BandH Photo iphone app, you can order most anything you need for from your iPhone    

Twice now I have used the B&H Photo app to make an online order and twice I have been impressed with how easy the app is to use.  Let me start by talking a little about BandH Photo.  Recommended to me by a couple Navy journalist friends, BandH is everything I ever wanted in a camera store.   The Navy uses Nikon cameras almost exclusively and has contracts with Nikon and BandH for all their photography needs.   In my experience, BandH consistently has the lowest prices for camera equipment and accessories available anywhere online.  They have hard to find items such as replacement hot shoe covers and they usually ship the same day with the option of using USPS or FedEx for shipping.  I ordered my current DSLR (a Nikon D5000) from BandH on a Monday to be shipped to my military address in Italy.  Not only did BandH undercut any other price I could find online by $80, but also included USPS in the price.  The camera arrived three days later!  In Italy!  


I could go on forever about my positive experiences with BandH, including my visit to their Flagship store in NYC where I experienced the most knowledgeable and helpful staff of any retail company I have ever visited.  But if you are like me and like to take pictures, you will need to get the BandH iphone app.  Say goodbye to post-it reminders and say hello to the BandH iphone app.  Did I mention it was free?
