5 Stars Better alternative
This is a better alternative to the kit lens you get with your Nikon, this lens is better built. This lens is more durable, and it can take photos in lower light which makes it faster.

4 Stars Petite, nicely put together, sharp
I bought this lens mainly to go with my little Nikon D60, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by it. For the roughly $100 I paid for it, it’s turned out to be quite a good lens. I originally bought this lens because of it’s tiny size. I also own the Nikon 18-55 VR which is a nice lens, but it was just large enough to be extremely difficult to wedge into or pry out of the small case area I have for it, so I thought I would try this lens out. It’s enough smaller than the Nikon lens that it fits about perfectly into the case I wanted to carry it in.

Pros:

- the lens feels better constructed than the Nikon 18-55 VR. It’s not so much that the Nikon 18-55 is horrible(at least in comparison to other similar lenses), but this lens does feel a bit more solid and above average. Does it matter? Not much to me, although the metal bayonet mount is really nice to find in this price range.

- I can’t see any difference in sharpness between this lens and the Nikon 18-55 VR. I’m not saying there isn’t any difference, there might be, but I haven’t been able to see it. This a good thing, since the Nikon 18-55 that this lens supplanted has been a sharp lens. That’s not to imply that this lens is as good as a $1200 pro lens, but in comparison to the other similar lenses I’ve tried, this little Sigma isn’t lacking in the sharpness department.

- it’s tiny. It’s barely larger than most prime normal lenses.

- focusing seems really fast and precise, more so than the Nikon 18-55 that I own.

- inexpensive.

Cons:

- like all inexpensive, small sized lenses, it has a fairly small maximum aperture, f3.5 at 18mm to f5.6 at 50mm. Not a problem for me, and not really a con, it’s a trade-off to get the size down and keep the price reasonable.

- Sadly, no OS. Again, I can live with it the way it is, since VR would make the lens larger, and maybe a little more expensive.

The more I use this little semi-precious gem the more I like it, and the more convinced I am of it’s excellent value.

5 Stars Great Lens, awsome price, fast shipping
If you have never owned a sigma they are every bit as good as a Nikon for all but the most demanding professional photographs. I’m sure the expert photographer can tell the difference but my dad (who teaches photography at a local college) swears they are every bit as good for a fraction of the price

4 Stars Affordable good performance
Right out of the box instructions were easy to follow. Lense quality is fairly good. I thought that for the price I would get something “cheap”; wrong. Very sturdy. Take the time to read the setting instructions and you will get very good/excellent results.

5 Stars Food photographer
I like to take close ups of food and from my use of it so far, it is a great macro lens!

1 Star A total waste of money!!!!!
I bought this battery in November, charged it and put it in my camera bag. A week later (early December) I went to use it, and it showed that the battery needed charging. Strange, I thought, and re-charged it. Same scenario. I never even got to use the thing. It is worthless.

1 Star Simply doesn’t work with my D90
Although it looks and feels not bad, it simply doesn’t work with my D90. So I’m returning it. A little disappointed because the Opteka D90 grip got very good review.

1 Star Would not work in D90
Nikon’s charger would show this battery as fully charged, but my D90 would show it as a dead battery. I have returned this battery and will be buying the OEM from Nikon. Don’t waste your time with this 3rd party battery, go for the OEM. I received this as a gift, and Amazon was amazing in helping me return this item for a refund.

1 Star Opteka EN-EL3E Won’t Work In New Nikon D90
Purchased the Opteka EN-EL3E for my new Nikon D90. Charged it in the Nikon charger and even though the charger shows it charged the D90 shows it is not so battery will not work in D90. Contacted 47st Photo with two emails asking to return for replacement and they do not answer. Save your money and your time and buy a genuine Nikon battery, at least their support people answer you!

1 Star Don’t waste your time
Save yourself some trouble and buy the real Nikon battery. The new EN-EL3e is an improved battery from it’s predecessor. I purchased this Opteka for my D90 and it DID NOT recognize it. If I were you I would not risk it. It was cheap enough for me to try, but not worth the money or RISK of you do try it on your Nikon and something goes wrong so I am returning it to Amazon. From now on, I play no games an only buy Nikon original stuff. Amazon has a very good price on the Nikon branded battery. You pay for what you get, in this case I got nothing though

5 Stars What a difference!
Wow, totally dig this flash! After using the built in flash since owning my D40 (& not being happy with the results alot of times!) for 2 yrs, this is so refreshing & inspiring! I saw reviews on amazon with photos of what this flash does & it’s totally delivered Beautiful results from bouncing the flash off the ceiling. This was one big easy step in furthering my photog hobby skills!

4 Stars Fantastic lighting upgrade
I have have been using this unit for 2 weeks and am impressed with the improvement offered with indirect light bouncing off nearby surfaces vs the on-board unit. The SB-400′s capability to aim the flash in multiple angles is not thoroughly detailed in store or official documentation when it is easily its greatest feature. I sometimes wish I whent with a flash with a bit more horsepower and twist aim, but I figured learning the art was more important than the gadget. Overall a simple no frills great improvement from my D5000′s on board flash.

5 Stars For users with a Nikon with ittl only “D40″
This add-on flash is compact and works flawlessly on Nikon camera with iTTl systems. Using the built-in camera flash will consume your cameras’ battery life a lot faster this possible causing you to lose that perfect moment. There are huge benefits of bounce over compared to the direct flash on the Nikon model and body you own, maybe overwhelming. This unit gets great reviews for its size and its multi angel bounce, this unit will bounce off high ceilings and distant walls but it’s great for many occasions and engagements.

Overall by using this unit instead of the built-in flash of one’s camera, you will get more shots from the camera since its power source is two independent AA batteries and not the camera. It’s compact it’s great for its size ability and price.

3 Stars Not as good as the SB-600
I got this to go with my Nikon D40. It is an improvement from the built-in flash for sure, but not as good and versatile as the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. I ended up returning this one and buying the SB-600 instead.

Pros for the SB-400 are size and price – best for portability. It is definitely an improvement over the built-in flash for light quality and ceiling bounce.

Biggest weakness is that I can’t use it for portrait photography bouncing off the ceiling. Please see review of Stroboframe Press-T Flash Rotating Bracket for details.

5 Stars Travel Light
While not as versatile as the more expensive and featured Nikon flashes, it does the job while remaining small enough to throw in the camera bag for small events, parties, day trips, etc.

5 Stars Nikon quality
This battery is the same as the original that came with my camera. I expect it to be just as long-lasting.

5 Stars Standard Nikon Battery, Great Quality
On a recent trip to Sedona, Arizona, I encountered a photographer’s worst nightmare: dead battery!. Sulking in the corner as my wife snapped photos with her iPhone, I resolved never to let this problem happen again. I bought another battery from Amazon that night, and would encourage every other photog here to do the same thing. A spare battery, don’t leave home without it!

5 Stars A battery… what’d you expect?
Its not just a battery though; its a Nikon battery. My advice is to always buy the name brand when it comes to things like batteries. Its a small extra investment that will give you the peace of mind of knowing your camera won’t short out on you.

5 Stars Nikon EN-EL3e Battery Purchase
I’m completely satisfied with every aspect of this transaction and product quality. The price can’t be beat for genuine Nikon EN-EL3e batteries. The ordering process was straight forward, response and delivery was prompt and accurate. I would purchase from this merchant again and gladly refer my friends here as well. This was a total thumbs up experience. Many thanks for zero frustration!

5 Stars Nikon Quality
I will only use Nikon batteries in my cameras. I have tried the bargain brands but was not impressed with the quality of the batteries. In my experience, Nikon batteries will outlast the bargain brands charge-for-charge and in total lifespan. I purchased several cheaper batteries for a long trip to Africa, and a single Nikon battery lasted longer than two of the other brands. I will not repeat my mistake. Nikon batteries are more expensive than the alternatives, but in the end the expense is justified by solid performance.

2 Stars S L O W
I feel this is borderline outragous, it takes 2 HOURS two charge a itsy bitsy teenie weenie gray battery, becuase they sell a fast charger for extra money, this is a skipiddy scam, while in the same time i can charge an ranger rx that overpowers the sun in 90 minutes for 250 full power flashes.

Sorry this is outragously slow, its 2010 nikon – hello, knock knock anybody home…

4 Stars Absolutely NIKON original product
Absolutely NIKON original product. There’s a lot so-called original on eBay but actually OEM for half a price. I don’t mind use OEM as long as it is good. But after took a close look at the OEM one, I decided to turn back to really original one. It is bad those OEM ad as original.

5 Stars Works great
How to review a battery charger? It charges quickly and efficiently! Can’t ask for much more than that!

3 Stars Questionable quality
I broke my original Nikon charger by dropping it about five feet onto a concrete sidewalk. No visible damage, but it would not work after that. No complaints at this point and I ordered a new one. It arrived and worked fine for a week or two. Then it began to exhibit comnnection problems. Found the contacts where the battery met the charger were weak. Finally bought a Torx screwdriver and opened the cover. The contacts were fastened to the housing with a small spot of glue that pulled away from the housing. I reglued it but was sure it will not hold. Filled the mostly empty part of the housing with foam rubber and reassembled. Works fine now with the foam rubber holding the contacts in the proper position, but you should not have to redesign a new charger.

4 Stars Very Quick
The battery charger does what it is supposed to do! It is relatively quick and compact. If you have more than one camera bag (like me) get one for each and you will NEVER be caught out of town without it!!!

5 Stars It does what its supposed to
I bought this battery as a back up for my D70s. Although my camera cannot take advantage of all this battery offers, it out performs the original battery. I haven’t had any problems with it. It does what it is supposed to without any complications. That, to me, is a great thing!

4 Stars Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
I purchased a second Nikon battery for backup since my off-brand battery did not last as long in my D-80 Nikon camera, even though the off-brand battery was rated at higher power. I gave it 4 stars since the Nikon battery had a lower power rating than the off-brands, even though it worked great.Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only)

5 Stars Good, original product
Got this from Electronics Expo. Received it as promised, sealed, and working. I know there are cheaper substitutes out there but since I already have one from my d90, I figured I just needed one more.
