Student Discounts ?
Im looking into buying some lights and noticed that a few companies like Alien Bees and Dyna-Lite offer student discounts. *edit* Are there any other light companies that offer student discounts? Dec 17 07 12:02 am Link For photography equipments, it is very rare to have student discount. But for computers: Apple computer offer discount both in their online store & Apple store with laptop, iMac , iPods & softwares. It save you a lot of money if you thinking of upgrading your computer.

Buffs main company does them as well. A lot of Photography Supplies store do, you can get the lights indirectly.

If you are going for profoto, tenba, pocketwizards, X-rite, Leaf, Mamiya... everything is way discounted, profoto gear is nearly half off!! Dec 17 07 02:48 am Link where the prices at on the site? do you have to register? Dec 17 07 04:11 am Link This is for students who would like to own professional cameras and lighting systems. You must prove current status as a student, and you could be looking at about 50% saving. At: mac-on-campus.com The Pro's had to start somewhere........ Dec 17 07 04:25 am Link Hensel has a program as well, http://www.henselusa.com/studentprogram.html Love them but use White Lightnings myself.

Just want to tell you those mac-on-campus discounts are all fake. They waren't truly discounts. You'd probably be better off just buying them off of BH or something. If they are discounted, its only by a little bit. Not the 50% off as someone advertised. They list their list price way too high on the site to make you believe you're getting a huge discount. Hope this helps!

Dec 17 07 05:20 pm Link How do you get the student discount on adobe software? And do you have to be a design/photography/art/web development student?

I think I saw CS2 for 450$ Dec 18 07 12:23 am Link Jared H Photography wrote: Depends on the university. Here we can just walk into the bookstore, show proof that we're student, staff, or faculty, and pay. Good prices (CS3 Design Premium $599, Standard $399, Photoshop CS3 Extended $299) but I'm pretty sure the student license is restricted to personal usage (and obviously not for resale or redistribution). Other universities go through a student licensing program that drops the price even further. Dec 18 07 12:55 am Link Brian Kucera wrote: Pro Photo in Irvine offers Local Student Discounts.

Dec 18 07 07:22 am Link Dang, I wish I knew about the Mac On Campus site before I bought 4 x PWII's from B&H. I spent $189 each = $756 Off MOC I could have got them for around $616. argh! Dec 18 07 04:07 pm Link Mac also covers bogen/elinchrom I believe. Dec 18 07 06:22 pm Link oh damn! that mac on campus looks GREAT!!! true that the list price they have is extremely high but comparing their student prices to the prices of BH, clearly Mac on campus would get my sale. interesting.......good to know for the future! for example a mamiya 645zd package you save 1000 dollars over BH Dec 18 07 06:48 pm Link Devin Loretz wrote: I saw that too! Though, I think I will get a more versatile camera such as the 1Ds instead at some point. Dec 18 07 06:56 pm Link La Image inc wrote: That's not true. Most of the well known lighting equipment and most of the camera companies offer student discount via MAC. I have the MAC program but haven't used it yet. Dec 18 07 07:11 pm Link Brian Kucera wrote: Yes you have to register. You might be able to do it online or checkout your local campus that have the information displayed in or near the photography issue rooms. The prices are like night and day. Dec 18 07 07:12 pm Link Jamiya Wilson wrote: MAC never state in their info. that their discounts are 50% nor is it fake. Discounts don't equate to 50%. 10 percent is legally a discount. That's misinformation on your part. all information is accurate according to what the companies publish yearly. It's against the law to fish and bait. MAC isn't fish or baiting the student.
