I took advantage of the rebel T1i, lense and bag deal earlier this month, and I couldn'tt be any happier. This bag woon't hold all my gear, I know that though. it is ideal for day hikes or camping trips where I can put a few lenses into the bag. I wouldn't think that this bag can hold lenses larger than 300mm. I will be in the market for a good "trunck" bag to hold the numerous lenses and filters I will accumulate over the next several years. For now, this will work fine. My only real gripe is that this bag has a fairly narrow strap system, but I usually hold my straps while hiking so this isn't an issue for me. The red color was a little off putting to me, but it was free* overall great bag, thanks!

I love this Body! Best one I have used! The camera takes very detailed pic's. I have been taking photos for over 2 years, and this body is the easiest and yet has the most amount of features that i have found for this price.

Like the last review I agree that the description of it on the website does not pay justice to the great backpack it is. After I pick it up at the store I went home and discovered a lot more features on it. I remember the last reviewer saying it does not have a waistband strap, but I found out it has one.
Overall I am carrying 2 DSLR camera bodies with lens attached (without battery grip) and a couple of lenses. It has enough space for accessories and personal belongings. It feels great on your back during hiking and the small size does not bother you when you have to climb. The all weather feature on this backpack is great for the price, since most of the backpacks with this feature are expensive.
This backpack does not have a easy/fast access to the camera.

If you're like me, and like to shoot photos and video, this is the camera for you. To be able to grab one camera for vacations, trips, or gigs...that's cool. You can read all the specs and details about this camera online (there's always somebody that dosen't like something about it), but I just want to say that once you have the camera in your hands and you learn how to use it, it's truely a great camera!
Go get one man! Especially now that Best Buy is offering 18 months with no finance charges...

I was looking for something above the grade of a plain, simple, ordinary flash for our Nikon D-80. I found this product although very simple and automatic in use out of the box, it has features that make it possible to use in more advanced settings/situations. Works seemlessly with our Nikon and with great results. To me it was a big jump from the basic model with regard to cost than I was looking to spend but all and all happy with the outcome.

I've been using this lens for a few months, its not mine cuz to tell you the truth its quite expensive, but for me it has been great, i've been using it for live photos at concerts, and trust me the artists are quite happy with the photos, if you can afford it buy it, and if yu are thinking of buying the 400 dont, it becomes way to much and you can easily do more with this one or the 200 f/2 in really low light circunstances. If you want to see some images with this check out Rock-n-photo at blogger

As a previous D70 owner I can say the D90 is quite an upgrade. The increased continuous shooting and incredible low light/high ISO performance is really what impressed me the most. Where the D70 was getting noisy at ISO 800 (although still acceptable due to Nikon's approach to noise reduction) I find the D90 producing excellent ISO 3200 images when exposed properly. I really like the LCD compared to the lower end Nikon's it makes it so much easier to see if you have an out of focus photo or not. The video feature is more of a gimmick to me. The quality is decent and at 24fprs it looks cinematic I guess but I think a camcorder that can auto-focus will still do a much better job overall. WHere the D90 won't disappoint is image quality, there are plenty of customization settings to play with. I mainly shoot .nef and process later on the pc but you can customize this camera to produce very nice images right out of the camera with very little work. I am very pleased with the build quality of

I bought this product online on Friday, and just received it today, Wednesday. The price was right and I was looking for a good camera to take to Mexico in December. Im no expert when it comes to cameras, but I think this is a really great value! The quality of the pictures are great, I LOVE the panoramic option. The video quality is excellent. The camera is obviously bigger then a regular sleek and slim digital camera, but I was surprised at how light it was and how easy it was to hold. The camera is very simple. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. If you are looking for a high quality camera that will take BEAUTIFUL pictures, this is a great buy! Don't even hesitate, its wonderful, and even my husband, who was opposed to me buying another camera, had to set down his Xbox controller and mess with the camera, taking pictures of the house and the animals! I cant wait to take my camera along for the holidays and start taking more pictures!

The system uses 4AA batteries and a SD card. This is great since where do you recharge when you travel or download pictures. Pictures are great and 10X zoom is excellent. I had to read the manual a little but most of the systems were intuitive.

Despite this lens is not good for full frame cameras, it is an excellent option for a APS-C size sensor such as Canon 50D and Rebel T1i. On a full frame camera, this lens produce soft corners however, because of the crop effect of APS-C sensor this problem does not show up in the pictures and the lens deliver Pin Sharp pictures from the center to the corner always. As any Canon L series lens, the image is superb with high resolution and wonderful color saturation. The construction is also superb and comes with lens hood as well which is a plus. One also have to consider the prices which is very low for a Canon L lens. I certainly recommend this lens for any APS-C sensor cameras. It is a must have... A keeper... A winner...

There isn't a camera on the market with these features for anywhere near the price ($180). The zoom is fantastic. Has a great display and is so far very easy to operate. This is my first digital camera and I have been able to basically learn the basics in less than half an hour with the manual. Great camera for the price.

I have had this camera for a few months now and I am absolutely in love with it! I bought it because of the Olympus features that are preloaded on the camera! I didn't think much of the image stabilization when I bought it but after a few night shoots I couldn't imagine life without it! My pictures turn out amazing! The art filters I so much fun to use and limit my need to editing (which I am bad at anyways and hate doing!) I like the fact I can take this camera with me and can count on it to produce sharp clear and wonderful photos! The battery life has me switching batteries about every 500+ shots, but I do flip through them in the playback mode A LOT. It's so easy to use and the small size fits in my hands so comfortably and the small lenses make it less of a hassle to tote around! I was a little disappointed with the lens selections and some of the aperture sizes but the technology with the camera and lenses alone make up for that easily! The settings are easy to find and operate! The

Purchased this to use with compact camcorder from a treestand to video deer hunts. The Joby does not grip the 3/4" or so railing very well. I've had it slip enough times that I dont trust it. I can see how it would work much better on a bigger tree branch however. It is a decent product for what I use it for but could be improved.

I love this camera! It's a backup camera I bought to complement my D700 and for the 1.6 lens factor for my tele lens. Surprisingly, it's been the camera I reach for when I go out to shoot! I find it operates just as fast and focuses just as quick as my D700 and the Hi 1 aspect of ISO sensitivity is just awesome! Please see the photo inserts under mikechang.photo! I did not have a chance to thoroughly try out the video functions but from the initial use it's as good if not better than my HD camcorder from Panasonic. During one of the trip I accidentally dropped the camera from the camera bag which caused the battery cover to pop off and battery (and my heart) went flying out! I was able to popped the cover right back and reinsert the battery without any difficulty. The camera not a scratch! I checked all camera functions and it's files from shootings after all seems to work just fine! What a relief! From all the shooting that I did with both cameras the files looks and enlarges equally

I sold my A300 in anticipation of the A550 and I am very happy with that decision. The A500/550 are targeted towards the A300/350 user base and upgraders from the existing A330/380. This is not meant to be a replacement for the A700 as some review sites had been wishing for. I am extremely pleased with the camera up to this point (about a month as of this review). The improvements over the A3xx series in my view are: 1) Much improved LCD - it is much sharper than the A3xx series and also the A500 2) High ISO is also much improved over the A3xx series cameras 3) FPS is much faster and makes this camera much more suitable for catching action shots than the A3xx series 4) Improved button layout 5) SD card compatible (subjective) 6) Easy to use menu system 7) Built in HDR 8) Better built in flash 9) Exposure is spot on and colors are great The not so good 1) Power switch takes some getting used to. It is in a position much like Nikon and Pentax cameras which is not familiar for existing

At first glance it looks like every other camera i have owned. But after I took a few pics and scrolled through the options, I knew I made a great buy.

The SAL30M28 is the most affordable macro lens from Sony. Priced at 200 dollars, it's an unbelievably affordable macro lens compared to the SAL50M28 and the SAL100M28. Having the same aperture as the SAL50 and SAL100, the SAL30 is a bright lens, making it easy for you to shoot small objects without the need to attach macro lighting on your DSLR. Most of the time, an external flash is more than adequate to light up the subject. The SAL30 has a minimum focal distance of about 12.9 cm / 0.42 feet from the sensor, which effectively allows you to place the lens almost directly over the subject since the lens barrel and camera body is about 9cm long. Shooting insects and small live creatures at this distance is impossible, since they will no doubt fly away, and at this distance, the shadows of the lens will fall on the subject. The SAL50 and SAL100's additional focal lenghts overcome these problems, allowing you to shoot your shy subjects from a more comfortable distance while achieving that

I'm not a pro photographer. It's a hobby. A few years ago when my kids started soccer I needed a great telephoto lens. I went into my local camera shop and told them I needed a great lens to take photos outdoors of my kids on the soccer field. The rep didn't blink twice and handed me this lens. This probably the most used lens in my arsenal for taking outdoor photos. I take mostly photos of my kids and I prefer to catch them off-guard, so I sit to the side and just take shots of them when they aren't really aware. I like that. I get some really meaningful photographs, one of which is one of my favorite photographs. It always makes me smile. I'm sure the pros will say there are better lenses on the market, but really. For me, a mom wanting outdoor photos of her kids playing soccer. This is the best lens. It's also very comfortable and easy to use. It feels good and responds well. I let a friend of mine borrow this several months back and she also took some amazing more artsy photographs

I traded in a sony cybershot H20 for this camera because it was so hard to use. I'm so pleased with this camera and how much easier it is to take a good picture. I read the reviews below (after I purchased it) and was a little worried, but once I started playing around with the camera, I realized that many of the negatives that people were writing about, were actually caused by people not reading the manual. For example, you can use any rechargeable AA batteries, not just the expensive coolpix ones. Also, you can review the pictures without turning the camera on. It took me at least a few days to really learn how to use this camera, but it was well worth the time because now I know how to take great pictures. If you don't do this, you'll end up with lots of blurry shots and frustration! Overall, I recommend this camera as long as you have the time to invest in learning how to use it.

As the title says, this is an essential piece of equipment for any photographer. All of my local camera dealers have closed down, and I was glad that Best Buy carried what I needed. I have found the image quality to be far better than the kit lenses that came with my camera few years ago. The capability of shooting in low light and faster shutter speeds has been invaluable to some of my indoor shots, particularly when I have been prohibited from using flash equipment (sensitive subjects). For a $200 lens, this is a must have in your camera bag.
