Covering field of view to 600mm (35mm equivalent), this high mobility super-telephoto zoom lens weighs only 620 grams. Also, this lens incorporates three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements to offer sharper, higher-contrast imaging performance.Furthermore, 1x magnification (35mm equivalent) tele-macro photography is capable. Thanks to Four-Thirds system, the lens offers a lot of the footwork out of both super-telephoto and macro photography world.

User Ratings and Reviews

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.

Joby GP2 D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod for Digital SLR Cameras with Bubble Level




The Joby GP2-D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod is designed for Digital SLR Cameras and it comes with a bubble to help you level your picture.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Good
The tripod is good but is not what I expected it to be. May be I should have gone for the next higher quality model.

5 Stars fantastic addition to any camera
I originally got the smaller Joby tripod for my Sony digital camera(wx1), and returned it for this version. It was just too small for my needs. This is the perfect size to be able to carry with you wherever you go. It wraps around mostly anything, easy to stow, very stable, and made of high quality. The addition of the bubble level is great also. I really couldn’t ask for more.

5 Stars Very useful for non-flat surfaces!
This product is very useful to take pictures whenever were you stay! It’s not an excuse to say “we don’t have where tu put the camera!” again…just use this tripod and all your problems will be resolve…good luck!

3 Stars Strong enough for a DLSR my ACE!!
Sorry, but this is a joke. Please don’t label something DSLR capable when it’s barely strong enough to hold a super zoom camera.

Maybe I got a poor copy, but if I didn’t, don’t expect much out of yours.

I LOVE the idea, I have other Gorillapods for standard size cameras and they are exceptional. I LOVE the quick release and the level that comes standard.

This thing can’t hold my canon 5d mark II with a tiny 50mm lens.

Sorry, but that’s disappointing!

I’m not returning it because it works well for so many other things.

5 Stars Great tripod. Make sure you choose the right one for your type of camera.
I don’t agree with the negative review about this tripod, because the wrong size was chosen by the buyer. There are different sizes of Gorillapods for different sizes of cameras and lenses. This one is specified for smaller cameras, and for that purpose it works great (at least for me it does). My advice: before you buy andy Gorillapod, check on Joby’s website which one’s right for the type of camera and lens you have, and then you can come back to buy it cheaper @ Amazon. ;)

2 Stars Bad image quality
I have used sony and canon cameras all my life. This was the first Nikon camera i got. Picture quality isn’t as great as others although some features seem to be neat.

5 Stars digital camera review
Excellent camera for the cost. Would recommend it to anyone. Very easy to transfet to computer.

5 Stars Great product for the money – can use rechargable
Hi, I bought this item from Amazon for their Thanksgiving sale. I should say it is a great product for the money I paid. I have used several 3x optical zoom cameras earlier . So, as far as optical zoom is concerned, I love this.

Lots of features in it. People who rate tis item as “crappy” did not read the manual for sure.

We can use rechargable batteries as it comes with the 1.1 version firmware from Nikon. Even if your camera has 1.0 firmware, you can easily download and install the firmware with almost ultra low work effort.

I think most of te pieces sold by Amazon come with 1.1 firmware.It is decently liht in weight, easy to use and does great as far as focusing. it has all possible options to shoot all types of pictures.

I will continue to write more as I explore more and more territories in the camera….. Good luck!

5 Stars Nikon Coolpix L100
Excellent product and results. It takes awhile for a novice like me to learn the various functions and how to execute their commands but it’s amazing what this small camera’s capabilities are; particularly considering the price range.

4 Stars Great Camera
This is a Great Camera. I read the reviews after I purchased it. I agree that after you take it out of the box and just start shooting pictures, they may not come out very good. That is why you HAVE TO READ THE MANUAL! After reading the manual, I LEARNED how to take great pictures indoors, outdoors, low lighting, high lighting, it all does fantastic. The pictures with this camera are perfect! Very bright, sharp, detailed, etc. If you learn how, you wont have a dull colored picture.

Tip —- Inside pics can be taken in the Auto Mode, but NOT the Easy Auto Mode. Also make sure you use the flash.

Tip —- Very close up pics inches away, you should use the Micro or Macro mode. You can experiment with the flash.

At first I thought I got ripped off as the pictures looked terrible. After reading the manual, I learned how to take awsome, sharp, great looking pictures.

You just have to read and learn how to use all the options such as vibration, motion, etc.

This isnt a point and shoot camera. Thats why it cost more than a $89 camera. Its a high quality camera for a low price of around $200. I am very, very picky on picture quality. This camera does great!

So far, I think the battery life is better than the cameras I have had in the past that I paid just under $100 for. It does take 4 AA batteries rather than 2 batteries. You do not want to use rechargable batteries. Just get the lithium batteries for about $7 for a pack of 4, and they last a good long time for any family get together. If your on vacation, you can spend about $21 bucks and have about 3 sets for the whole week, even though you probably wont need them all.

I had a fujifilm finepix 5mp camera that took awsome picutes with 3x optical zoom. I traded it for a samsung 7mp 3x optical, but was disappointed. My new nikon coolpix 10mp 15 optical takes just as great pictures as my old fuji film, but I now get 15x opt. zoom.

I took a picture of our Christmas tree from across the room with my new Nikon and my guitar amplifier was in the picture. After I took the picture, I zoomed on on the picture (after it was already taken), and I could read the words on the amplifier knobs, from all the way across the room. That really blew me away!!!

If you are willing to read the manual and LEARN about the camera, then this is for you. IF your not into tech stuff and learning about how to use something (like my elderly parents), then get a cheaper low end camera.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Works and great price
Using in my old Fuji S3000. Got tons of space, and so far, no complaints.

5 Stars Camera Memory…
Good choice – I’ve been shooting at 5mp and there’s scads of room on this. Nice to not have to worry about room when shooting.

4 Stars Olympus flash card
Received product on time and works well to capture photos. However, cannot be read with my card reader. Took to Best Buy and tried in three printers and one computer. Worked in one printer and the computer. Only way to download onto computer is through the camera, which eats up battery life.

5 Stars Not to slow
Some people have said it is slow processing on to the card for a high resolution pic, I have no problem with it. Price was a good deal.

2 Stars not for camera use
I have an OLYMPUS camera D-390

It uses this type of memory card.

It came with a 16MB card that works.

The new 2GB card did not work.

Appears the camera is at fault.

So the product is probably good but not for me.

Good luck I like my money back if possible.

Actually now I need to find a campatable picture frame to use this product in.

Un-happy customer.

Jorge S.

5 Stars Digital Frame for a great price
Great frame, great price that you can’t get almost anywhere! Great value all in all!

2 Stars You get what you pay for!
I purchased two of these for gift. One of the power cable didn’t work! And the picture quality is abysmal!

Spend little more and get something nice!

1 Star Coby DP702 crappity crap crap!
save your money and buy a regular frame! I bought this for a present and opened it to put photos on it to present it. Well I changed the picture settings and the photos were still way to dark. Also when you go into the menu to change the picture quality you arent even looking at a picture just a blue screen. Sure would help to have a photo up to see while changing the settings. I feel like if you can buy a decent camera for 100 bucks then you should be able to make a viewer for the photos for less. I am wrong. I will be upgrading this digital photo frame before christmas. what a waste of my time. Good luck to anyone that gets this frame, there are better choices out there and I will post them when I find them.

3 Stars Picture Quality not as expected
It is a good product, but I was disappointed with what, for me, is the most import feature: picture quality.

It is really bad, and you have to be far away from the device not to notice the pixels…

3 Stars Coby DP-702 Digital Photo Frame
I think this product is worth the price and is very easy to use. I was disappointed that the pictures are very dark. These same pictures are on another frame that I own and are not at all dark.
