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.

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

LP-E6 Lithium Ion battery for use with the Canon EOS 5D Mk II

User Ratings and Reviews

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.

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

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.

Canon EF S 55 250mm f 4 0 5 6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Canon EF S 55 250mm f 4 0 5 6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Bring your photographic subjects closer with this Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens. It is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). The image stabilizer effect is equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon’s 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Filter Size – 58mm Max. Diameter – x Length 2.8 in. x 4.3 in./70 x 108mm (maximum lens length) Weight – 13.8 oz./390g Canon 1 year limited warranty

5 Stars Super Value Quality Lens
I use this lens to shoot practically everything with my Canon 7D, especially sports. It keeps up with the action and the auto-focus and image stabilization are outstanding. The zoom is perfect for baseball, fastpitch softball and soccer. Given the features, quality performance and image quality for under $250, you will not be disappointed. An exceptional value.

2 Stars defective
Bought as new from Amazon, but received a defective one.

Right after open the box, I found:

There are eight dark dust spots sticking to inside glasses of the lens;

There is one scratch on the surface of glass in the rear end of the lens.

Immediately returned it.

Recently I received a couple of defective or used electronic items from Amazon for new items including the almighty Canon T2i.

I am wondering whether it is because of bad warehouse management, logistics or because I selected super saver shipping and got punished ?

Updates:

———————–

Amazon is in processing to give me a full refund.

Amazon customer service remains ranking at the highest level.

However, I decided to give marketplace a try.

I ordered this lens from Gigabargin at slightly higher price when considering the 3% discount for Amazon item.

Will Updating soon.

5 Stars Like the lens!
I do not have experience with the faster (and more expensive) top-grade lenses, but this one does the job just right. For the price, this lens is great. I shoot mainly outdoors for photos I want to display on my walls or for family, so this lens is just right for my photography needs.

5 Stars Canon 55-250 lens
Nice lens, can’t beat the price from Amazon. I would recomend this lens to anyone with a Cannon SLR. A+

4 Stars Great value zoom lens with IS
this lens is a great deal! i’m an amateur photographer, so on a budget. this has the range i need, has IS so I don’t have to lug around a tripod to use. it’s light weight and produces great, sharp photos. i noticed the dc motor is a bit loud, but it’s substantially less expensive than the usm model. i already know this will be one of my favorite lenses.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars So So
I like the idea of it, but a prime lens is far too limiting this day in age, especially when there’s plenty of zoom lenses that have almost as good quality and satisfy 90% of the needs.

This is a good lens for a very specific purpose – wanting a lot of isolation between the subject and the background/foreground.

I don’t recommend getting it for low light shooting because the thing doesn’t have VR – unless you have a tripod. Its low light performance wasn’t as good as I expected.

Mine might be defective but it always seems to focus a few inches away from where I centered on. I don’t know why, and i don’t care because i’m returning it.

Pros

Great image colors and sharpness

Great isolation

Cons

no Vibration Reduction

wide open aperture washes out some colors

5 Stars Great little prime lens!
After getting back into (D)SLR photography and buying a D70 from a friend, I wanted to get a prime lens that I could use in low light situations w/o flash. This neat little 1.8 35mm does the trick; it’s fast, sharp and crisp, with brilliant color rendition, quick AF, and no real problems I can see! Even the price is reasonable for a prime lens, IMO.

I also like that it’s small (compared to my 18-55mm kit lens), which makes it easy to carry both on and off the camera whenever I want to do ‘natural-light’ shooting. And being it’s a DX lens the x1.5 ratio when mounted on a Nikon DX DSLR gives you the same approximate field of view of a 50mm film (or full frame) lens, which has been the standard true-eye size focal length for 35mm film cameras for decades! It’s a great lens for for candids and scenery, and because it’s so sharp it can also do excellent portrait work, providing you get close enough (no zoom, remember?) to your subject..!

-Nice work Nikon, and please make some more reasonable Nikkor primes like this for those of us who cannot afford the huge prices on most of your other DX AF prime lenses. An f4 105 or 200mm prime for around $200 would be a lot easier to swallow than those over-$1K prices (which I can’t afford!) for all of the existing Nikkor 2.8 primes, IMO!

5 Stars Great Lens
The lens has been great. The quality of my pictures increased drastically with the 35mm lens. It works well and is easy to use with auto focus. Learning to use it with manual settings takes a little time, but worth every minute.

5 Stars Fast lens for fun around the house.
This light weight 35mm (52mm equiv) fast f/1.8 little prime lens is a kick in the pants lens for low light candid shots around our house. It’s overall brilliant performance in natural lighting conditions makes it unique enough on it’s own merrit for everyone to consider. The price is right at Amazon for a lot of value, and I can’t think of a negative comment to make about this handy little opticalgem.

5 Stars No brainer for dx cameras
I’ve had this lens for almost a month now for my D40 and haven’t used the kit lens since then. For under $200, every Nikon DX camera user should have one. I noticed immediately sharper pictures and much quicker AF compared to the kit lens. I may never use the kit lens again. Better build quality too. Rarely do I need to use flash which is the main reason I purchased this lens.
