Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15 1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3 Inch LCD and EF S 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 IS Lens

The Journey Continues. Canon’s new EOS Rebel T1i is packed with features, both refined and new. In addition to its admirable performance with an all-new 15.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 Image Processor, a 3.0-inch Clear View LCD with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coating, and compatibility with the EOS System of lenses and Speedlites, the EOS Rebel T1i adds remarkable Full HD video capture at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. An HDMI port allows for quick connections to high definition TVs and monitors for easy viewing of your stills and video. The entire operation is simple and easy even if you are a beginner. You’ll have uncompromised EOS Digital performance with power and flexibility right in the palm of your hand.

High Resolution Still Capture
New 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with DIGIC 4 Image Processor for faster processing of fine detail and natural color reproduction, 14-bit A/D conversion for smooth color tones and gradations.

Canon’s CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers the most pixels in its class. It offers many of the same new technologies as used by Canon’s professional cameras to maximize each pixel’s light gathering efficiency. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format). Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up all camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements in both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel T1i’s image sensor to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting situations.

DIGIC 4 Image Processor
With the EOS Rebel T1i, analog to digital signal conversion is executed by a 14-bit processor, which generates digital data with incredibly smooth tones. A feature that originally appeared in top-of-the-line pro digital SLR cameras, the 14-bit conversion gives incredibly smooth transiti

1 Star Took Fantastic Photos For TWO Days, then DIED
This was my first SLR camera and I was delighted with it, the photos it took and the deal on the extra lens. Unfortunately after a little bit less than two days of photos, the camera will not turn on with a full battery charge and a memory card with plenty of space on it. When the battery is inserted, a little blue light blinks on and off and that is the extent of the function of the camera.

The battery was fully charged overnight and the camera let to sit with no battery and no card in it but the next morning the same thing happened. A look around on other online forums seems to indicate this is more than an isolated incident with problems powering up the camera. For now, it will have to be the trusty Panasonic Lumix hand held camera for the rest of the trip. After all the hoops to jump through to get a camera delivered while on vacation to have it just stop working after 2 days is very disappointing.

It does take great photos when it works but to die after just two days is totally unacceptable!

5 Stars Awesome camera!!
Love this camera!

I believe this camera to be my best purchase in years. I have discovered a new way of taking pictures and made some great memories over the past six months and plan on taking a lot more in the future.

I am totally new to the SLR world (coming from a Sony T100) and learned to use the basic functions on this camera in less than a day. I would recommend taking the time to read up on the features(focus on aperture, exposure and how to switch features). The site [...] would be a great start to learn about photography in general.

The picture quality is awesome and the videos are great. They are clear, sharp and the colors are popping really well. The kit lens is OK for outdoor shooting but not the best for low light areas.I have found the 50mm 1.8 to be the best ever lens for less than $100. Takes great pictures indoor and outdoor.

I have seen some complains about the video feature and I have to say it is not that much of an issue. Just learn to manually focus and develop your pan mouvement. Nothing is made perfect in this world so you need to adapt

The features are really easy to understand on this camera and the buttons are well placed no matter what your hand size is. My wife has small hands and can use the camera with no issues.I shoot both in RAW and JPEG and I have learn to do post processing to add my own effects to the pictures.

I would recommend getting a good case ( I purchased a Zing case on Amazon), some lens cleaning gear to carry and take care of the lens.

Buy it spcecially if you are new to the SLR world. Good value.

4 Stars Canon Rebel Camera
Great camera, pretty easy to get used to, picture quality is excellent, you need to also get a UV and polarized lens for better quality pics

3 Stars Don’t expect to take video
I’ll be returning this camera because I was hoping to take video but it doesn’t auto focus! That’s major. I’ll just find a good camera and buy a separate video cam.

5 Stars Great Camera!
This is a great camera and worth it. The brochure is very easy to understand and instructions/information are clear. I recently used for my trip to Mount Rainier and Olympic national parks and I am really satisfied. For those who wants to learn photography, this is the best camera to start with.

Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 16:59:25 +0000

Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Bringing a new level of versatility and capability to flash photography, the Speedlite 430EX II features a powerful flash (guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100) with a fast recycling time in a compact, durable body. A one-touch quick-lock mechanism makes it easy to attach or detach the 430EX II from the camera and a metal foot has been added for strength and durability. Flash controls can now be set through the camera’s LCD screen on compatible EOS Digital SLR cameras. The Speedlite 430EX II is also quieter, recycle time is 20 percent faster (as compared to the 430EX) and since it is compatible with Canon’s wireless E-TTL, it can be used as an affordable “slave unit.”

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars It’s canon, enough said
A photographer friend told me to purchase a flash that was of the same make of my camera, and to spend as much money on it as I could afford. Well, I probably could stretch and afford the model above this, but this is a great flash. For inside shots, outside low light shots, and even for putting that extra bit of umpf into your shot on a sunny day. If all you have used is the pop up flash on your camera, you will be amazed. One of my best purchases in my camera accessories so far.

5 Stars Wow Wow Wow !!!
This is the first Speedlite I ever used, and I’m really impressed! The quality, features, and ease of use are all top notch, and there’s no hi pitched whine noise between flashes either. I considered several other off brands (Sigma, Nisan) but in the end I really wanted a Canon flash to go with my 500D. I’m very satisfied.

The ONLY criticism I can make is that the flash is pretty heavy, but I suppose that comes with packing everything into such a small package.

5 Stars Great product
Very nice improvement compared to the now archaic pop up flash – it renders the flash on my XS pretty much useless, I don’t need that any more after I purchased this item. I am by no means close to being a pro, but with this Speedlite, my photos have more life and don’t look overexposed like they did earlier with the original XS flash. Very pleased with this purchase.

1 Star Poor Customer Service
I ordered the 430EX II, but instead received the 430EX. After 2 emails I have received no reply. Poor customer service, ripped me off. I wish I could rate it 0 stars. The 430 EX works fine and all, but I thought I was getting the 430EX II.

5 Stars AF ASSIST!!!
Best $248 I have spent on my DSLR.

The AF Assist beam alone is worth it.

I have the 270EX and it is a little toy compared to this.

5/5

Mike.

User Ratings and Reviews

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 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 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.

Zeikos ZE FLK58 58mm Multi Coated 3 Piece Filter Kit UV CPL FLD

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 14:39:09 +0000

Zeikos ZE FLK58 58mm Multi Coated 3 Piece Filter Kit UV CPL FLD

Lens filters are translucent pieces of glass placed in front of a camera lens to alter or adjust the light entering the camera, and more importantly to protect the camera lens. Lens filters improve photographs by giving you control over light and allowing you to emphasize the features of a scene that you consider most important.

This filter kit is a combination of the three essential filters no photographer should be without.

PLEASE NOTE: Some cameras require an adapter tube to fit the filters. This filter set is compatible with the following camera models: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent product
I’m very happy with the item, the filters mount easily and the polarizer gives excellent polarizing effects.

I couldn’t have asked for a better value for my money !!

4 Stars Helps and hinders
The quality of the optics is OK and does make a noticeable difference in the cameras ability. Polarization is a bit tricky but helpful when needed. You will lose light reception so you have to allow for larger opening or slower speed to make up for it. I did a comparison of a Skylight to the UV and would say that the UV is just a lens protector as I had no noticeable difference in any comparative shots. I did see some better contrast with the FLD but had too much pink.

5 Stars extremely pleased
I ordered these filters for my Canon Powershot SX10 with the lensmate adapter. They fit perfectly. Came with nice protective case for filters. The filters seem too heavy for cheap plastic. Used the filters and compared pictures. They performed as needed. Great starter filter set. Very happy with product and the price. I know one day i will outgrow these filters but great for beginner or casual photographer.

5 Stars Good value for money
I had seen lens filters for an outrageous price at a local store. Decided to give these a try instead. Using these for 2 months now and they work absolutely fine. I am no big photography buff, so if they adversely affect the image, I wouldn’t know about that. Our pictures come out just as good as they did before, but now our lens is protected. Buy this filter, don’t waste your money on overpriced ones in stores.

2 Stars Polarizer Filter gives very little polarizing effects
There are many good reviews for this set. I was not impressed when I tried it on T1i. Maybe it’s not my luck got a bad set. The polarier has very little effects out door, I keep turning and turning the polarizer can’t see any different throught the viewfinder. Solution, focus on pc monitor and turn the polarizer until the monitor turn black throught the viewfinder, then focus out side throught the window and took the shots. I am going to upload two difference photos one with polarizer filter and one without. If I have a chance to try it before purchase, I wouldn’t buy it.

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

5 Stars First DSLR
I was really nervous about giving up my little Kodak that I had loved for many years and provided me with fabulous pics. However, with a very rapidly growing, sports loving 12 year old, the 10x zoom lens of my trusty Kodak no longer worked for our family. I researched, researched, researched; questioned everyone we knew and did a lot of “how’s it feel” tests. We were trying to decide between a Nikon and a Canon- not as worried about individual models since it was the first “real” camera and I understood we would be committing to a brand and will be trading up cameras at some time in the future. Chose the Canon basically because it felt better in my hans and the sleeker, less cluttered back was preferable as well.

Immediately upon receiving the camera headed out to a soccer training session to play with it and begin what I expected to be a serious learning curve. What a pleasant surprise- both my husband and myself were getting great pictures right off the bat. (did read the manual!) Have used it shooting soccer, baseball and family shots already with absolutely no complaints! Honestly, I feel a little silly now about how worried I was moving up and all the concerns I had about knowing enough about photography to get good pictures. I should have been concerned about not getting to use it, I never had to fight my husband over use of my previous camera like I do now!

5 Stars Buying Canon since AE-1 was introduced
I have been a loyal Canon customer since they came out with the AE-1. Had my T1i two weeks took it down to see shuttle Atlantis take off. Put on my Canon 70-300 IS lens and walked away with some spectacular shots of shuttle take off. Then I took a ride on a airboat to photograph some wild life and came home with some amazing shots.

I did not purchase this camera to take movies so I will not try to use it as a camcorder. If you want great still photo’s buy this camera it is very easy to use and the price is right. If I want a camcorder then I will buy one from Amazon and Canon they have never let me down.

4 Stars Good, but not without its faults
This was my first DSLR. It’s a bit lighter than the D5000 and just feels better in your hands. My biggest complaints with this camera are the incredibly jumpy 20fps 1080p video, and the seemingly poor build quality. After 2 weeks of use and about 2000 shots, the mirror and viewfinder plastic piece fell out of their mounting brackets. I’m hoping it was just a dud, but worth mentioning. I also thought the 18-55mm lens was just OK. Sure its versatile, but don’e expect to get great results in low light. I would highly recommend the 50mm f1.8 for $100. It’s a must have.

I returned the broken one and opted for the refund. I’m going to upgrade to the newer, slightly more expensive t2i.

However, if you get a t1i with a good mirror assembly and the 50mm f1.8 lens, you will not be unhappy.

5 Stars Great product overall
I’m new in DSLR world. I bought T1i with kit lens and EF-S 55-250 lens (Amazon.com gave a really good special offer for the lens). I’ve read lot of reviews/comments about lot of start level DSLR cameras. My final decision was between Canon Rebel XSi and Canon Rebel T1i. I think that both of these cameras will do really great job. I just thought that the upgraded processor (Digic 4), clear LCD (920k), and Video mode worth to spend 150-200$ more as I can get the 55-250 EF-S lens for only 40$ (so I save 200$).

After having the T1i in my hands I went outside to try it out. I didn’t even thought that I will ever get such a quality without getting deep into the photography world. It captures really great pictures in auto-mode. I found only two issues with this camera:

1. You don’t have auto-focus when recording a video clip

2. Auto-focus works really slow in live-view mode

Overall these are very little issues, and I’m in love with this start-level monster . I recommend this to anyone who wants to enter to the DSLR world.
