From LensRentals.com
A good partner of ours, LensRentals.com is running a contest to win a MacBook Pro w/Retina Display. Apparently people like the laptop and think the screen is pretty good. I might be one of those people.
I’ll say it right off the bat, the contest is for US residents only. It’s not because LensRentals.com dislikes the rest of the planet, it’s just about laws, borders and that sort of thing.
The contest info is in the graphic below (Click for larger).

The winner may pick one of the following lenses.
The 2nd Prize
A new bag! Once again from Gura Gear.

How it works?
It’s simple, this is a photo contest. The best photograph at the end of the day will win the grand prize. The runner-up will receive the 2nd prize.
Where do I post the images?
You post the images on our forum. There are threads in the forum called “Lens Giveaway Contest”. Post to the corresponding thread for your image submission.
The categories
The following categories are what your photos must fall under. We’re going to be pretty lenient on this, the categories are just a guideline.
The above links go to the corresponding forum thread.

Terms & Conditions
The above rules will probably evolve and be added to over the next little while, so please keep checking back.

Winners!
I have notified the winners of the Blue Crane DVD giveaway via the private message service on the forums.
The Bad News
Some folks guessed the right answer, but didn’t specify which video they wanted to receive. This disqualified the entry. It was important to me that people received videos they wanted. Sorry for that, but it was specified in the contest rules.
The Winning Answer
I asked you to rank 4 specific cameras in order of importance according to me!
I used to rank the 300D/Digital Rebel #1, but I think the 5D Mark II has really done more to change and advance digital SLRs. I understand most of that is to do with video, but a lot of people also bought this camera because of the amazing files that come from this full frame beauty. We all wish it had the 7D AF in it, but that’s what Mark IIIs are for!
You’re all winners!
Blue Crane Digital is offering 15% to Canon Rumors readers. Just use the coupon code “canonrumors” without the quotes during checkout. The coupon code is valid until March 31, 2011.

SHOOT GREAT VIDEO WITH YOUR CANON DSLR CAMERA

How to win?
Similar to last weeks contest, it’ll be a put stuff in order contest. This time with camera bodies!
I will give you 4 camera bodies, I want you to rank them in the order of their historical importance according to me.
