5 Stars High quality optics
I have both the Canon 24-70 and this lens. The quality and sharpness of the image taken with this lens is outstanding. I really can not tell them apart from the Canon (BOTH PIN SHARP). I use this on my back-up camera but it’s easier to carry around for a long period of time – much lighter. The build quality of the Canon is better and it is a much sturdier lens. The Canon has full time manual which I need when shooting weddings – I was concerned with damaging the Tamron which does not have full time manual. Overall this lens is an outstanding value – I would not hesitate to buy it.
4 Stars Great for indoor sports
I had problems taking indoor basketball shots with the f3.5 zoom, and this f2.8 zoom solved my problems at 1/2 the price of a canon.
4 Stars Good Value for a Fine Lens
Not having the change to spring for the Canon “L” equivalent, I did my research and decided this would more than suffice. Having used it for some recent photos, I can say it was a good decision. Build quality seems quite good and the zoom mechanism has just the right feel. Sharpness at normal aperatures is very good and even at f2.8 is not too soft on my Canon 20D. Should make a good ‘walkabout’ lens and even a credible portrait lens at 60mm+ (although it is hard to beat the portraits taken with my 50mm f1.4). There is a little autofocus searching under dimmer light conditions, but not bad and certainly not a problem for normal landscape photos that I like to take. Comes with a short hood, unlike many Canon lenses. My first Tamron. Nice job Tamron!
4 Stars Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8
I’m a novice photographer and for me this was not only a steal but a huge upgrade. Seems on par with the standard Canon line of lenses in terms of construction.

4 Stars Good in a pinch…
I have had this flash for a little over a month now. I am very “anti-flash” and will pretty much do ANYTHING I CAN not to need one. There is only so much you can do with your aperture, ISO, and shutter speed before you start losing serious quality in your photos…sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and use the flash. I find that this flash paired with a Lumiquest Portable Softbox and bounced off a white ceiling really does the trick in low light situations. I haven’t had much of a problem so far…and it has made it possible to take crisp photos even in an almost dark area. I say, for the price, it is certainly worth a try.
4 Stars Great flash for the price
I recently purchased this flash for my Canon Rebel XS and was a little worried about buying a flash that didnt have the Canon name on it, but when I looked at the price difference between the Canon 430 and this, I decided I would try this out. So far, I am quite impressed with the flash. The flash level seems bright but not too bright and with a omnibounce diffuser on it, it takes great pictures in low light settings. The reason I gave this a four rather than a five is that it does have a little bit of a cheap plastic feel to it and since it is not a Canon, you can not do as much adjusting with the flash inside the camera. Overall great product, especially for those on a budget, need a spare flash, or just starting in the DSLR world.
2 Stars Did not last very long…
I bought this for my daughters Canon EOS XSi, which she uses for her photography class.
She got about a month worth of use from it, then it died. Just beyond the return policy limit. Go figure.
Qualiy was just ok… maybe 8/10. Could be a little more solid in my mind.
Functionality was about a 9/10. Not bad for a $50 flash.
I really like(d) the telescoping flash lens, which converts the flash from direct to diffused flash instantly without adding a separate diffuser. VERY nice feature.
I would give it a 4/5 if it did not die on me so soon.
5 Stars Bright bang for the buck
Great value for this product. I’ve been using it for about 4 months and can confidently recommend it. Bright, with new batteries (rechargables) recycle time was 1 s. Simple functions, lightweight and stellar with a soft box. Great as an off camera flash too.
Look, if you want to compare a $500 Canon Speedlite to this $50 product you’re barking up the wrong tree. I don’t see Motor Trend comparing an Acura with a Yugo. But if you want a great intro flash to learn about strobes then you can’t beat this deal.
3 Stars My experience with the Precision Design Flash
The flash was a little difficult to use at first. I was in a gym at a volleyball game and the lighting was very dim. I had to adjust the flash several different times to acquire a clear picture – which meant I missed some “Kodak” moments. I am learning how to bounce the light but overall it is a good product.

5 Stars Canon 50D is all that!
Former Sony A100 user never was quite happy with the Sony quality overall after 3 yrs.
I decided to become a Canon Gal this past September 09!
Now there is no turning back!
I use my equipment professionally and for personal as well.
I can’t wait to upgrade in 2 yrs for the 5DMII cause if the results from a crop are this good I can imagine with the full frame!
Absolutely recommend this to anyone, if not the 50D, any Canon will do.
5 Stars The Canon 50D is everything it’s supposed to be!
Hey, Canon fans! If you’re like me, you have put off buying this camera because it costs a bit more than the Rebel line. When you weigh the camera differences against the cost difference, I promise you that the 50D will come out on top. I previously have owned two Rebels. The kit lens (28-135mm USM IS) is very good also. I may never be able to afford Canon’s outstanding L-series lenses, but the Canon lenses I do have are Image Stabilized and work perfect for me. The camera is built like a tank and is a little bigger and heavier than the Rebels, but that ends up making the camera feel better in my hands, and I am of average build. The 50D is packed with pro features plus Live View, and is more light sensitive than any other camera I have owned. Amazon had the best price and they had it in my hot little hands in just a few days! Outstanding camera. Outstanding price. Outstanding company… Amazon!!! You may regret putting off this purchase any longer.
5 Stars Still the best small body DSLR today
I did a lot of comparison between so many DSLR camera around this price and even bought a Canon EOS 1000D in the beginning.
I also had the Nikon D40, which was pathetic and disappointing.
This 50D does not disappoint at all.
Robust build quality, decent portability, great battery life, amazing features, image quality, not to mention the admission to join the biggest used camera stuff: lenses, etc.
For this kind of price, it will beat anything else out there: Sony, Pentax, Nikon, etc.
The higher ISO is actually quite amazing, compared to the newer 7D, it only losses after Extended ISO (12800>)
Enough said about this camera, if you’re not planning to do any HD filming then save $700 and get this instead of the new 7D.
5 Stars Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens
What I can say? I must say They are GREAT PRODUCTS! They are very easy to use and result of pictures are great. That makes me kind of like a pro. 
5 Stars Canon has done it again !
Once again Cannon has done it! This camera is well made, easy to use, takes breathless pictures and has unlimited resources available to teach you how to expand your horizons in digital photography. I am a
hobby photographer and have taken pictures with this camera and my Canon Digital Rebel that would rival
the best professional photographer’s out there! Cannon makes it easy.

Canon BG E6 Battery Grip for Canon 5D Mark II Digital SLR
Marketing description is not available.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars No Regrets
I knew I was going to need more than one battery to feed the camera when I go shooting. I was tired of tracking battery life and having to swap batteries mid-session. I was uncomfortable about the possibility of running both batteries down and not having an alternative.
The Battery Grip solves all that. It holds two batteries and comes with an insert that holds AA Batteries (I bought some lithium ones) so you can shoot at least twice as long before needing to recharge, AND you can use readily available AA Batteries if you hit the wall and need to keep shooting.
The extra features of this grip include the second set of controls on the side so that when the camera is in vertical you can still shoot with all your controls handy – and no contortion. Second, the base cover for the battery compartment on the camera stows inside the Battery Grip where you pretty much can’t lose it and where it is readily available if you need to swap off the grip and go back to using the battery inside the camera (some lenses on a tripod won’t tolerate the Battery Grip because of fit issues with the tripod).
Does this add to the size of the camera. DOH! For me that’s not an issue. I have really big hands and it actually helps me better manage the camera. But if you’re trying to travel light, you will find that from a size point of view, it’s a trade-off. For me, there is no doubt this was the way to go. Now when I climb Mt Fuji…we’ll see… But I will still have extra batteries! 
4 Stars A must have.
An absolute must have accessory especially when using the 70-200mm 2.8/f IS USM or larger lenses. The extra weight helps balance the larger lenses and the extra controls make multiple portrait shots more comfortable. Having the option to use AA batteries although not preferred is nice as well.
4 Stars Great addition to battery life and addition camera control
Battery life excellent, additional grip space a plus and having the additional controls on the grip makes vertical shooting easier. The only con I can see is the additional weight it adds to the camera but the pros outweigh that issue. I would recommend to those needing extended shooting battery capacity
5 Stars Solid Gear
I can’t see how I would shoot without this. I wouldn’t go cheap and get the knockoff. Get the real Canon part and feel better about yourself
I love the battery grip. Just buy it!
4 Stars Expensive but necessary…
i bought this when there weren’t any knockoff battery grips. if i buy another 5d II in the future, i’m probably getting a plastic knockoff grip for my 2nd camera.
the way i shoot, i HAVE to have a battery grip. i don’t mind turning my wrist, but the time it saves me later straightening out all of my pictures makes it well worth it. plus, who can’t use the extra battery life?
other than that, everything works exactly how it’s supposed to. the grip matches up perfectly with the 5d mk II’s body and stays tight/looks great. every once in a while i’ll set it on my lap and accidentally take a few pictures or accidentally hit the shutter button while reviewing pictures…but all user error.
i rated this a 4 because it’s a little expensive. granted, i paid $300 for mine and now you can get them almost 20% cheaper than that. if you can’t afford it or don’t want to…read reviews, you’ll see there are some very good 3rd party plastic grips for the 5d II and decide for yourself if it’s worth the extra $160 or not.
