User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars It’s a battery
What can you say, it is a battery and regardless of how long they last in the camera it’s always nice to have a spare.

5 Stars Great!
Official Canon battery at a great price, cheaper than fleabay and way cheaper than Canon!

5 Stars The price of perfection!!
The new battery for the EOS 7D is a bit expensive ($110.00 when I needed it),

but it has superb power(1800 mah)and gives the user great status feedback through the camera. Canon had embedded a chip in the battery that makes it difficult for the ‘knockoff’ folks to duplicate it at a more reasonable price.

5 Stars Canon OEM battery
I purchased this battery for my Canon 5 D Mark2. This OEM battery works perfect with my camera and it reconizes the voltage and type of battery.I would recommend using this battery

with Canon camera’s. This unit holds the charge for a long time. There are other batteries that will fit our specific camera’s but they are not as good as the original. Be aware the voltage

and the mah are not the same. For the extra money stay with the original and you will have peace of mind. Regards Ed Wilson

5 Stars Canon LP-E6 Battery Review
I bought this LP-E6 Battery for a Canon 7D DSLR. It was delivered very quickly and I immediately used it for an airshow, taking over two hundred pictures. The battery lasted and continues to provide power.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Simple…straghtforward. Like it should be
Pretty straightforward remote that works exactly as advertised. Mot much attention has been paid to the look and feel of the item, but that’s the reason of the low price, and it works just fine. Perfect item at a great price. Recommended.

5 Stars Love this tiny remote
The order arrived faster than I expected. We had it for a couple of weeks now and use it almost every day with my daughter’s Rebel T1i.

I wish there is a dedicated switch or top menu selction on the camera to take the remote signal.

5 Stars Stupid Simple…in a good way
We originally bought this remote to use with our Canon Rebel XTi. It worked well as long as you stayed in front of the camera and in range. (10-15ft) We now use it with a Canon 5D Mark II and get similar results. Very handy to capture photos on vacation with a tripod. We’ve had the remote over a year and the original battery still works. Also love the slim design as it fits in a pocket for easy transport. Can’t beat the price either.

5 Stars Opteka RC-4 for Canon Rebel X1i
I love this unit. It’s inexpensive and works flawlessly with my Canon Rebel X1i. No complaints.

3 Stars Doesn’t work that great with my 7D
After reading all the reviews here I decided to purchase this wireless setup for my 7D. For some reason it only work from about 3ft away. Not sure if it came with a weak battery but I hope I can get it working right.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great flash
A must have for all pro photographers. Loads of power, decent battery life, excellent build quality. a little spendy, and i actually lucked out and got it $50 cheaper on sale on amazon. So keep your eyes open for a good deal.

4 Stars Welcome to a whole new world of options!
The Canon 580ex II. First up, if you’re still getting by with your on-board flash on your camera… good for you. However, I may seem like the bearer of bad news here but… you have no idea what you’re missing out on! I personally was using my camera’s on-board flash with the Gary Fong “Puffer” to soften the light up for quite some time before I decided to take on a wedding gig. That flash just wasn’t going to get me the “Oomph!” that I figured I would need to really reach out there with my flash (the on-boards are usually good for like… 6-15 feet and that’s it). I bought myself this flash and another diffuser and set to putting it through it’s paces a few months ago and here’s what I’ve got to say: Let’s keep it simple and tidy… so here goes!

What’s hot?

* WAY more reach than an on-board flash.

* Bounce flash option to get more “natural” looking light.

* Fill card and “wide angle” cover are very useful and built right into the head! Easy to use, then store.

* Very adjustable to your specific needs.

* Can be used as a “Master” unit to control “Slave” units that are placed off camera.

* Can be controlled by the Canon 7D’s built in master unit and act as a slave flash off camera.

* Sturdy build quality (even the accessory stand is made of metal).

* Rechargeable Energizer batteries last a lot longer than I was expecting in the unit, while maintaining good recycle rates.

What’s not?

* I’m afraid I’m going to break whatever the mechanism/pin is that locks the head in place (released via a button).

* All those adjustments take you a while to wrap your mind around. You can easily go from beginner to advanced lighting with this unit… a plus, but this means there’s a noticeable learning curve if you want to get it off “Auto” and your pictures to come out looking good.

* Bulky. (Though a battery grip on my 7D seems to help balance the weight out a little more for me)

* I haven’t been able to get the unit to work as a slave that also triggers my studio lights yet… but that’s probably more a “me” thing than a problem with the device.

All in all I’m pleased with it. It’s given me a new perspective and creative outlet for off-camera, on location flash that I simply can’t have in the studio when I’m anchored in place. I’ll suggest patience and taking time to learn all the ins and outs of the product if you take the plunge. Also… Wedding photography (even as just a “guest”) takes on a whole new level with creative and intelligent use of my Canon 580ex II. I highly recommend this product.

5 Stars Nice Speedlight
Exactly as expected, Canon Speedlight. Works as expected, i.e., very well.

Bought from Amazon because of excellent low price.

5 Stars Great flash unit
I can’t compare this Speedlite to other models because it is my first one. I am so impressed with what it does as compared to the built in flash. Right now I am using it in the auto mode. I have seen a brighter difference in my night time shots. I have taken around 500 pictures using the flash and the batteries still seem to be strong. It has a very quick recycle time. I don’t have to wait to take the next shot. This is a great investment. I look forward to learning all the ways of using the flash. I would recommend this Speedlite to anyone.

4 Stars Fantastic Product
This flash is fantastic I used a 430E Speedlite before but this produce superseeds it by farit

Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG for Canon EOS SLR Cameras Black with Green Accent

Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG for Canon EOS SLR Cameras Black with Green Accent


21Y2RJKZASL. SL75 Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG for Canon EOS SLR Cameras Black with Green Accent

BAG, DELUXE BACK PACK 200EG, CANON

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Canon deluxe photo backpack 200eg
Organized well, lightweight and plenty of storage space. Must be layed flat to access your equipment or you will end up dumping it out. Padded very well and holds everything I need.

3 Stars Great at first site- not good with heavy telephoto lenses
When I first received the bag, I was very happy with it. I was able to customize the inside padding to fit exactly what I needed to put in there.

However, after loading all of my equipment (Canon 40D with battery grip, 70-200 f/2.8L IS, speedlite 580ex ii, 15mm fisheye, 24-70 f/2.8L) the sturdiness of the bag decreased immensely.

When I put it on my back the back of the bag sagged, causing the equipment to hit each other. the stitching in the zipper and skirt ripped after only a few uses.

****Would not recommend if using heavy lenses****

4 Stars Great bag for the price
Great bag for the prices. It’s not a high end bag, but it is made well an is exactly what I was looking for.

5 Stars Awesome
This product is well worth the money and there is more room than I need for both of my cameras and the accessories. The fact that you can adjust all the compartments with velcro is a very nice asset. I’d definately suggest it as I am very happy with it and the speed at which I received it.

5 Stars Perfect for the price
I went shopping for a backpack style bag as I started to run out of room from a smaller camera bag I owned. I was looking for something not overpriced and nice looking. I first saw the bag at Best Buy for over $70 but when I searched online I was able to purchase brand new for $40 including shipping! The bag is perfect for me as it holds plenty of the accesories that I own. I recommend this bag for anyone looking to get started.

Canon EF 50mm f1 4 USM Standard and Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Canon EF 50mm f1 4 USM Standard and Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras


41KHRTQKTAL. SL75 Canon EF 50mm f1 4 USM Standard and Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Standard lens featuring superb quality and portability. Two high-refraction lens elements and new Gaussian optics eliminate astigmatism and suppress astigmatic difference. Crisp images with little flare are obtained even at the maximum aperture.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars very happy
I saved money getting from here, and it came pretty quickly. I am taking a photography course, and love this new lens. It is now the only lens I keep on my camera, it is perfect for portrait shots. My kids look amazing and people have been commenting on how good my photos are lately. Their face are so clear and the background can get very blurry and beautiful, it looks like a professional took these shots. I definitely recommend this lens and this website to anyone.

4 Stars A good quality prime lens with just one objection
The EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is a reasonably well-built lens and offers commendable optical quality. The focusing is quick and quiet in spite of the low cost micro-USM motor. The bokeh quality is excellent, and the full-time manual focusing feature becomes very handy when the camera picks the wrong focus target at a shallow depth of field. Many users regard this lens as slightly soft when the aperture is wide open, but for low-light settings, sometimes the only choice is slightly soft or entirely unusable, and being able to stop clear out to 1.4 is then beneficial. The use of a 58mm filter ring ensures access to a wide range of quality filters at reasonable prices.

In most respects the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is worth the upgrade from the EF 50mm f/1.8 II, which begs the question of why Canon designed the front element to travel outside of the lens barrel during focusing. That sort of cost-saving measure is expected on a $100 basic lens like the EF 50mm f/1.8 II, but not on a higher-end prime costing over $300. Fortunately, the moving front element does not rotate on either of these lenses, so position-sensitive filters such as circular polarizers and partial-gradient ND filters will not be disrupted by focusing operations. However, other popular mid-grade Canon primes have no external movement, including the EF 20mm f/2.8 USM, EF 28mm f/1.8 USM, and EF 85mm f/1.8 USM.

A first-time dSLR user would be better served with the 50mm f/1.8 II, and higher-end buyers would be better served with the 50mm f/1.2L, if for no other reason than to delete the external travel on the lens barrel. For everyone else, the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM is an essential part of any well-rounded camera kit.

5 Stars Great lens, especially for the price
I really enjoy using this lens. It is becoming my new go-to lens for everything except distance shots. Great depth of field thanks to the 8 blade bokeh. Definitely recommend this over its cheaper brother. Works amazing in low light and takes super vibrant picture on 1.4. I cannot comment on the durability because I have not had the lens for long. It seems to be sturdier than my tamron lenses.

4 Stars Good lens, but if on a budget get the 1.8
I recently upgrade from the Canon 50mm 1.8II while it has its obvious upgrade (1.4, USM, better builds etc.) I dont find the pictures that much different besides flare resistance. overall its a good lens and a good value

Like I said if you’re on a budget get the 1.8, or if you have the cash or are planning on keeping this lens for 2-3 years just get the 1.4.

1 Star Skip the headache and the heartache and go for a better lens
I love all my canon gear. I have a 50mm 1.8 and upgraded to this as I have progressed in my photography. Unfortunately, I have had the same sort of trouble the other reviews have stated. At this point I only have had trouble with the focus under f2.2. Every shot lost in two photo shoots and I had not realized until after researching on the internet as to why.

No trouble with the AF failing as of yet, but I’m pretty disgusted that I have to redo two shoots – wasting both my time and the models time. Shame on you Canon!
