Canon ET60 Lens hood, perfect for outdoor photography or in bright daylight. Compatible with the CANON EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 USM, II, II USM, III & III USM Lenses
5 Stars Great lens hood
Great lens hood. Perfect for long telephoto lenses. I’ve even tried it on my 18-55mm. Though it fits, Some of the hood is visible in some shots. Spend the money and get the hood designed for wide angle lenses. Otherwise a really great product. Typical Canon quality! I’m someone who takes my gear everywhere with me. And this hood is no exception. It’s goes eveerywhere with me. Great product! I recieved product quickly in sealed package. In perfect condition. [...].
5 Stars Good Investment
I recently purchased a Canon telephoto lens and of course needed a hood. This was a great product and fit my lens nicely. Good investment, and the product was in excellent condition-like new. Good purchase.
4 Stars Useful and necessary
This item does exactly what it is intended to do–protect the lens and shield the lens from extraneous light. Fits the Canon 75-300 lens perfectly. Worth the investment.
4 Stars It’s a Lens Hood Alright
Works fine on the 55-250 IS – no vignetting or other issues affecting image or usage. It is a longer hood as should be expected for a 250 or 300 lens. The hood lacks the felt lining of some of the higher quality Canon hoods (contains only the matte black in the inner area). Reverses for storage – obstructs only part of the zoom ring at the wider end and the lens is still usable. The focus ring is obstructed but this is almost always the case with reversed hoods.
Users state this hood also fits the 18-55 IS kit lens – this is half-true. The lens hood will fit the 18-55 but vignette at wide angles. Therefore, it is not a valid lens hood substitute for the 18-55 IS. I own the proper 18-55 lens hood which is probably 1/4th the length of the 55-250 hood and does not vignette.
The hood will also obstruct the zoom ring on the 18-55 kit lens when reversed. This is not a major issue by itself but just notable.
One last note: 75-300 users beware that this hood only works on the newer renditions of the lens (IS or USM). *Older 75-300 lenses are not compatible.*
5 Stars It is what it is.
I’m using it on the 55-250mm EFS lens and it fits perfect and does it’s job. My only complaint would be that it is a little tricky to remove when you put it on backwards for storage.

Wow this is an awsome camera for the price. I got this for my wife and she loves it, our Christmas pictures turned out great. Would recommend for the novice to amature. Only thing I havn’t tried is the HD video. Very pleased with the purchase.
5 Stars Just three little pieces away from perfection
This camera needs higher frame rate 1080 video
5 shot exposure compensation instead of just 3
Smaller RAW obtions
5 Stars Great high end camera for the amature
I am now just returning to the SLR type of camera after many years of using a simpler point and shoot type. My current point and shoot camera was a Canon, so I began my investigation with the Canon line of dSLR cameras. My first effort was to go by the local “brick and mortar” stores to get some “hands on” feel. After looking at a variety of other cameras, it soon became evident that the T1i was the camera that would best fit my needs as a very active amateur photographer. The factors that caused me to choose this camera: very good feel in my hand; easy to see and to use controls; a very large 15.1 MP picture size; 3.5 fps speed which fit nicely into the type of pictures I wanted to take; a good price point to reenter the SLR arena; Canon’s reputation in the dSLR field; my experience with former Canon cameras as well as with a currently owned Canon HD movie camera; the availability of a large variety of Canon lenses as well as their prices. In the 30 days that I have owned this camera, I have taken over 1,200 shots. The camera has lived up to all of the expectations that I have come to expect from Canon cameras and look forward to using this camera for many years to come.
5 Stars First DSLR
The Canon Rebel T1i is my first DSLR and it’s a good beginners DSLR. It consists of a little bit of everything. ISO isn’t the best but enough to shoot in low light. [it does get noisy anything higher than ISO 800] The interface is easy to get used to. The price was unbeatable at the time I bought it!
4 Stars First DSLR
I’ve always loved photography and wanted an SLR for 15+ years. When the digitals came out, I knew I needed one but the quality was nowhere near film. After about 10 years of the digitals being out, the quality/price ratio has finally become acceptable to me. I started looking and was set to buy the XSi. Right when I was about to buy the XSi, the T1i with HD VIDEO and a host of other features was announced. I held off again until the price on the T1i was to where I wanted it.
I love this camera. The PQ is amazing and I can get so many new and dramatic shots with the versatility. I’ve joined an online Canon Photography forum and received a ton of help and inspiration. The automatic modes work but why would you buy an SLR and use the auto-modes? The only problem with the camera is I’m going to have to blow a ton of money on lenses. 
Oh well.
