The XSi Starter Kit will make using your camera more pleasurable and productive. The kit includes the Canon 200-DG Digital Gadget Bag, an LP-E5 Battery Pack, and a 58mm UV Haze Protection Filter. The Gadget Bag can hold all of your camera accessories and up to 3 additional lenses; the additional LP-E5 Battery Pack provides more shooting power so you can take pictures longer; and the UV Haze Protection Filter fits most Canon Lenses and protects the front element of the lens from dirt and scratches while also correcting for Ultraviolet (UV) light which can produce a bluish cast in your images and obscure distant details.

3 Stars Good Kit
This came with my T1i. I don’t know if it’s worth $100 by itself. You definitely will need an extra battery, and having the UV filter is nice for protection purposes. The bag is just OK. Maybe because I prefer backpacks. I used some quad shox to turn it into a backpack and it works ok. I can carry the T1i body, 3 lenses, filters, cables and strap the tripod below.

5 Stars Great deal
The pictures don’t do the bag justice. Was very surprised and pleased when I opened it.

5 Stars Good storage bag.
Good for long term storage. Too large to take with you. Good construction and a lot of room. Just a little pricey.

5 Stars Light with plenty of room!
This bag is great! It is light but has plenty of room! Amazon also had a great deal on this product when compared to local stores.

5 Stars Great Accessory for Canon SLR Camera
I recently purchased my 1st canon SLR digital camera and needed something to keep it in. I was searching the stores first before coming to Amazon, but for the price this bag is way worth picking up on Amazon. This same bag sells for a lot more in a retail store that carries canon SLR cameras. It’s great for storing extra lenses and parts for the camera. Good construction that seems it will last quite a while. I would recommend this bag to others.

4 Stars Nikon D300 Battery Pack
This batrery gives my camera more shooting time with the AA battery. I do not need to worry about battery dead problem. It is a must for serious photographer on a major porject.

5 Stars I use on D300s and D700
Lets me use the same EN-EL4 battery as my D3s so I only need one type and one charger. The AA battery tray was the real reason that I purchased this. You can’t always find a place to charge a battery but they sell AA batteries at the Timbuktu Gas & Grocery, so you will always have the power you need, when you need it. This is especially true when you need a backup battery but didn’t have time to charge the thing. A set of lithium AAs will store for seven years and always be ready when you need them. Max frames per second are available on AAs too as well as when using the EN-EL4 battery.

Removable when you don’t need the portrait grip or additional battery capacity to keep camera size and weight to a minimum. As sturdy as the camera body and a very good fit. Certainly better than the old L shaped MB-series (MB-D100 & 200 especially) which were impossible to pack and a real pain to install.

5 Stars Excellent option for D700
This battery grip is a great optional gear for Nikon D700 as it allows to shoot at 8fps with EN-EL4a battery for action photography. Solid construction and fits well onto D700.

4 Stars Very good product
Feels good, widely expands the potential of my D300, well built. I wish it would feel a bit more integrated with the D300, and be attached a bit tighter. Also, it would be nice not to feel the fastening disc when you grab it by the grip. But this feeling seems to cost more than twice than what I paid for my D300.

Love the camera though.

5 Stars Nice supplement to your Nikon body
Very solid buil and sound. It is a nice adding to your Nikon body, D300 and D700. I use it on D300 and the fit and feature for vertical shooting are very nice. Note, it will add substantially weight to the set that will give your muscle an excersise. Nothing to complain about.

5 Stars Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8
This lens was recommended by an underwater photographer who takes awesome pictures. I had also read reviews stating this is a great lens for every day use. I am very impressed with the picture quality and the fact that I don’t have to get as close to the subject to get a great macro shot.

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!

Thanks to Four-Thirds system, the lens offers a lot of the footwork out of both super-telephoto and macro photography world.

4 Stars Not bad for the money!
As others have written, this is a great lens for the money. It does take a bit to focus, which works best in MF mode, but other then that, it zooms very well and captures awesome pictures when focused well. Good buy for the money if you cannot step up to the next level lenses in the 1000 dollar range and up!

5 Stars Great for the price
I got this lens at amazon for less than $260, free shipping. It’s a great lens with excelent quality.

4 Stars Product OK , shiping OK
Nothing to add….product exactly what I was expecting, and the shiping very fast(4 days to Madrid) and realy cheap comparing to others, I payed no other import taxes….realy OK purchase…good luck…

5 Stars Zuiko long telephoto lens
This is an excellent lens if you’re looking for a long telephoto lens for you Olympus camera. You just have to remember that any long lens has to be used with a higher shutter speed or steadied on a tripod to get the sharpest images. [...].

5 Stars Impressed
I have an e-510 and have been just using the kit lenses for the past year and had this one saved in my amazon cart for about that long. Glad I waited as with the rebate now in effect on the 70-300mm lens the price was just too hard to resist and having watched its price remain a steady 80 dollars or so above what it is now for the past year I would recommed others who are on the fence to get it now.

I was impressed by the build and heft of this lens. Better then the kit lenses by far. Really gives my e-510 reach now. I also have a Canon T1i (I wanted the video function) and the 55-250mm lens for that. The build on the Olympus is much better. (I do like the canon as well though, just a noticeable build quality difference in the two lens) The pics with this lens are very good, although at 300mm in anything less the full light I can tell the IS system is at its limits and some shots will be spot on and others just a bit off do to my inablity to steady handhold at that range. I would highly recommend this lens to Oly users as you are getting a very nicely built lens with a lot of reach for a very good price.

5 Stars Canon Battery Pack
I am a professional photographer and have owned a variety of pro version cameras. I have bought ‘no name’ brands and the camera name brand batteries for all my cameras (Fuji and Canon). It really does make a difference. The actual name brand will last much longer. I bought two Canon LP-E5 Battery Packs through Amazon-by far the lowest price of ANY other retailer selling the Canon brand! Once I find the product I am looking for price dictates where I purchase. My batteries have staying power! This was a good purchase.

Kit includes:
♦ 1) Giottos Rocket-Air Blower Professional AA1900
♦ 2) Lenspen Lens Pen Cleaning System
♦ 3) Precision Design 5-Piece Lens Cleaning Kit
♦ 4) Cameta Microfiber Cleaning Cloth

The Giottos Rocket-Air Blower is very powerful and easy to use cleaning system. The super air stream blows off dust particles, even those attracted by static electricity. Giottos’ patented and unique rocket base design allows the Rocket-Air to stand by itself and prevents accidental blocking of the inlet valve as well as making it easy to store. The inlet valve prevents back flow from the air tube. This air blower is an excellent way to remove dust off sensitive equipment parts without physical contact. It works great when used on digital camera sensors, lenses, telescopes, computer keyboards, microscopes, communications equipment, musical instruments or just about any precision equipment.

The LensPen is one of the most invaluable accessories a photographer can own. Its unique design makes cleaning your lens fast, simple and effective. On one end, a retractable soft brush sweeps dust and loose particles away from the glass. On the other end, a special dry cleaning compound is used to gently remove fingerprints and spots.

This 5-piece cleaning kit contains everything you’ll ever need to properly clean your lenses, including Lens Cleaning Tissues, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Blower Brush and Cotton Swabs.

Keep your camera and lenses smudge-free with this handy microfiber cleaning cloth.

5 Stars Great kit
I really only bought this for the lens pen and blower, but the microfiber cloth is also great to have in your bag.

4 Stars Simple yet effective
Suits my needs for cleaning my DSLR though i have not tried this yet on my sensor. Rocket air blower that came in this package is huge and blows every dust away. Perfect deal for under $20.

5 Stars Great Value
This is a great deal for a camera maintenance/cleaning kit although I wanted it mostly for the blower and lenspen. The microfiber came in handy for the screen and the accessory kit was really cheap. The lenspen is a must, it is so much better than cleaning with a microfiber cloth.

5 Stars Great kit!
The rocket blower and lens pen alone are $20+, so this is a great deal. The rocket blower is fantastic and helps tremendously with dust. The lens pen helps get lenses fantastically clean. Absolutely recommend this kit.

4 Stars Works as you’d expect it to
Buy it if you need the distance without line of sight. The infrared remotes are completley annoying and inferior to this one.

5 Stars Best toy ever!
This product works very well. I use it with a Canon Rebel and it does exactly what it says it does. The is probably the best purchase I have made for my camera…the only trouble I had was in Burst Mode it kept going and going (could have been user error) overall, great product.

4 Stars Works well
No more running while the timer is ticking down. And it is a great solution for long exposures on macro work to avoid motion artifacts and for sharpest focus. Note when you receive the package, the included batteries are wrapped in a clear plastic that is not obvious and isn’t mentioned in the manual. They will appear to be dead because there is no electrical contact till the clear packaging is removed.

5 Stars Wireless Remote Review
I’ve used the remote release in various wather conditions…even wrapped it in a “baggie” and used it on several rainy days. I put the camera and remote release in a plexiglass housing and took a few underwater photos of coral (shallow) and fishes….Though it is not advertised as such, the radio transmitter device works just fine underwater at a distance of at least 20 feet. I like the device and will buy one more for a spare.

5 Stars Perfect for Family Portraits
I purchased this product because I wanted to take family portraits and the first one I purchased didn’t work well at all It was good only at a distance of 13ft. This one can handle 300+ feet. It worked like a charm and I got great family photos without spending an $800 sitting fee for a photographer who would not give me the copyrights. I saved a bundle!

1 Star Made in china
My Nikon Lithium Ion EN-EL9 7.4V came with camera and

lasted only two years. It held a charge well. No complaints

there. But this last time I did not use the camera for 3

months, came back and battery is dead. Perhaps the charger

is to blame, can’t say. But I had a similar thing with a non-USA

hard drive for my 3 year old Mac laptop. The hard drive malfunctioned

and the repair man said even new ones don’t work, now that they

are not made in USA. My freezer had a fan failure, but Frigidaire

sent me a new fan even though the system was out of warrenty.

The fan LOOKED the same, but the dye casting was poor on the

screw threads…there was no way to attach it with same screws.

So quality control on this battery and other Made in China items

is questionable. While I am at it: when my barn burned down the

fire department told me a lot of fires have been starting with

Chinese lamps. I had a new brooder lamp I hung the night

before the fire. Then my neighbor’s house burned down, the

result of a new night light. She is a politician and was moved

to Washington D.C. before I got to ask her if the night light

was Chinese.

Great battery…charges quickly and lasts for an extremely long time even when used for lengthy playback and editing. Also works for the D60 which is the camera I own.

5 Stars Tamron Lense
I am a novice photographer. Alot I do not know. I ordered this Tamron lense thru Amazon. When it arrived (timely), it caused my camera (Canon Rebel Xti)to shut down. Would not work. I contacted Tamron and explained the “error msg” I was getting from the camera and after brief conversation w/tech person at Tamron it was determined that the lens was flawed and for me to contact Amazon and explain this and get a replacement lens. Uh-Oh, right? Let me tell you that a call to Amazon was all it took. A new lens was shipped that day express mail (free of charge) with an authorization label to send the faulty lens back in the same box with charges reversed to them. The new Tamron lens arrived and is working beautifully on my camera. Bottom line? This is a fine lens and Amazon (in my opinion) is one great and reliable company that I will use without hesitation.

1 Star Very fuzzy
Disappointed with the lens. Not clear at all and very slow to focus. I returned it immediately.

1 Star Slow focus
I am a professional wedding photographer and I tried this lens on my canon 7D at my daughter’s Halloween party at school. I’m glad I didn’t bring it to a wedding off the bat. The room (as most school rooms are) is well lit from windows and the florescents were on – the lens couldn’t pick up on the dark costumes to grab fast enough. It hunted a lot and I lost some shots. At the widest, there was A LOT of blur around the edges. Not a crisp shot. I returned it today (after receiving it the day before yesterday). I do have another Tamron zoom that is slow to focus, but this one was much slower in lower light – would not have worked at a wedding ceremony (especially a church) nor a reception.

4 Stars Upgraded from stock lense
I bought this lens to upgrade from the lense that came with my Rebel XTI. I used the “old” lens (18-50mm) on a two week trip to Scandinavia last year and did not bring a longer one due to luggage limits. I bought this one for a three week trip around the Canadian Maritimes this fall and it provided much more flexibility in the shots I could take using just one lens. As for improved quality of the photos, I guess its hard to say since I sharpen all of my photos and when framing an image in the view finder, I allow for a little cropping during post-processing in Photoshop. I much prefer it to the original lens for the range of shots I can take while travelling without having to switch out lenses.
