3 Stars Good Case, Not Flexible Enough…
Well, let me start by saying that the actual case is very good and has excellent padding, so no complains there. The reason I gave this a 3 star is because it did not meet my specific requirements.

I have a Nikon D90 and 35mm lens and also did have an old Lowepro case which fit both, along with additional space for lens cap and cords. I got another 55-200mm lens and was looking for some case to accomodate all three. This case fits the camera and 200mm lense perfectly, but does not leave any additional space for lens cap, cords, etc. I also had to figure a way to keep the 35mm in place!!

So I ended up buying a separate case for 55-200mm (from Lowepro as well) and attached that to my old case (also Lowepro) it works well and carrying both around is convenient as well. I can also avoid carrying the bigger lens if I dont have to and move around with a nice compact case!!

I still have to change lens in order to put the camera back in case, but I guess while using a DSLR you anyways end up changing lens multiple times…

5 Stars Just great for 70-300mm lens with D40
A great size case for D40. I am using it a lot. It is light, and easy to cary around, protecting the camera and the lense.

I do recomment this for the 70-300mm and smaller lenses. Even thou there is room when I have smaller lenses, it is great as it fits all sizes… Just love it… for the quality and price!!!

I do recommend this size, compared to the shorter one. Is better to have more room, then compress the lenses and the camera…

4 Stars Better than average
I was looking for a one stop case for my Nikon D90 + 18-200mm lens. I have seen conflicting reviews on whether the case is long enough for the above combination. And the verdict: yes, it is large/long enough to fit D90+18-200mm lens. And has a pocket for a memory card or two.

And it can fit (barely) the standard lens hood.

Drawbacks: Would have liked an extrenal zippered compartment.

4 Stars Compact travel holster for your DSLR
Compact travel holster, fits the D90 with kit lens. Made from great material but could have been better with more useful compartments. Needs a little more padding on the lower-end where the lens rests.

4 Stars An okay bag
It fits Canon T1i okay. I’d like to have a little more room at the top of the bag, for a camera strap. Camera is well protected inside. Don’t like how the bag sits/hangs on the belt. Don’t look attractive (might be a positive thing).

4 Stars Not bad at all…
Bought this to breathe life into an old iPod Mini. The microdrive died and I discovered that a CF card is basically the same thing, just flash memory vs a moving disc. While this card might not be the fastest, it works perfecty as storage media for my iPod Mini. It must be fast enough to handle me flipping through my playlists, because I haven’t encountered any issues with it lagging yet.

3 Stars Good but not for HDSLR
This is a very cheap and good card but not to be used for HDSLR or DSLR. The reason is very simple that this card is too slow. Let me explain this in a simple way the write speed of this card is 133x or 20mb/s (Value of X = 150 Kbps, so 133 times 150kbps) should be good enough for a general use in a DSLR with burst of 3 or 4 fps shooting with no HD video..

I bought it for Canon EOS 7D with 8fps shooting and capable of recording True HD Video at variable frame rates. This card is fine till it is around 3-4 GB full but beyond that the buffer gets filled up and the camera will display “Busy” massage after each shot or Video recording.

If you want to use your card for HDSLR then my suggestion would be to buy at least a card with UDMA capabilities and or 30mb/s+ speed to be on a safer side.

5 Stars Best Value Price

Excellent, best value/price, very fast and reliable.

I highly recomend this product and the seller. Well packed, on time delivery and no surprise charges.

2 Stars Slow! Can’t use it all
This card is fine for normal use, just don’t fill it more than 50% or else it becomes EXTREMELY slow! Sports, kids playing, out of the question. Holidays, portraits, fine art (which I do) should be fine. But really, a better option would be to get a couple 4 or 8 gb cards instead of this one. Cheaper and better reliability and speed. I kind of regret getting this card. Size isn’t everything. Performance is MUCH more important.

4 Stars Good Card
Lots of space, works fast enough to do 1080p video on my canon, perfectly reliable so far.

Opteka LP E5 1800mAh Ultra High Capacity Li ion Battery Pack for Canon Digital Rebel XS XSi and T1i Digital SLR Camera

Opteka LP E5 1800mAh Ultra High Capacity Li ion Battery Pack for Canon Digital Rebel XS XSi and T1i Digital SLR Camera




The Opteka LP-E5 rechargeable lithium-ion 1800mAh battery is a replacement for replacement for Opteka LP-E5. It features lithium technology, which ensures maximum battery life and maximum power. It also features no memory effect that lets you recharge partially drained batteries without reducing performance.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Last as long as my OEM battery
Eventhough it claim to have 1800maH, it last about the same as my OEM canon batt. For the price, it does its job and no error code issue like some ppl mention on non-OEM batt.

5 Stars Great for Price!
Pros: Inexpensive, Works

Cons: Definitely not 1800mah

Comments: I own three of these batteries and love them. They are great for the price. They claim they are 1800mah but they only last about as long as the normal canon battery so I believe they are rated incorrectly. I use them in conjunction with my Canon battery in an Opteka battery grip with no issues. Great product, definitely going to buy more in the future as batteries run out much faster than my memory card fills up!

5 Stars High Quality Long Life
My new DSLR camera came with only one battery. I wanted at least one extra, but after locating these Opteka 1800 mAh batteries for such a great price, I took a chance and bought three extras. Although I have only used these extra batteries for about 6 weeks, they actually perform better than the high-end battery that came with my camera. I took 107 pictures with my 12.2mp camera on one battery and never needed to change batteries. Perhaps this type of performance will reduce with age, but I am completely happy right now. When I leave on one of my photo shoots, I take three fully charged batteries and four 8gb cards with me and I am confident I’ll never have any worries about running out of power or space.

Great product, great performance, great price and great customer service from Amazon = excellent buy!!

5 Stars Great deal
Great deal! works well, don’t have enough time in place to argue if they last longer or shorter than the Canon battery but they are doing the job for me and for a hell of a lot less money!

5 Stars It is definitely an 1800mAh battery
The battery is as pictured. It has 1800mAh stamped on the battery itself. That withstanding, the battery lasts a bit longer than my original canon battery as it should being 1800mAh vs the canon original 1080mAh battery (mAh=milliamp Hours).

This battery is used in my “Canon Rebel T1i camera with attached Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens” (which I also purchased from Amazon, by the way).

I have been using this battery a few weeks now and have had no problems with it.

I ordered the battery from Amazon and received it in a timely manner.

Indeed, for $12.95 you can’t go wrong in purchasing this battery.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars great value
The CF card works well, and the transfer speed is satisfactory. Great value for the price!

2 Stars Skips and buffers
I bought two to replace my 16GB PQIs which are 120x and rarely buffers. Both replacement 133x 32GB skips and buffers every so often and pauses when I need to review. The straight copy/write speed is good but its between operations that it’s slow. I use a Canon 7D to record mostly in 1080 24fps, its worrying when I see the buffer icon go all the way to max when I’m scrambling to catch an event happening now. For staged shots this is okay. For run-and-gun I’m keeping my PQIs.

4 Stars Great card for the price
This card is great for pictures and video, yes I know this it not the best card ever in compare with the UDMA cards, but is enough for my works.

5 Stars A Canon 5D, Rebel XT/350 RAW+JPG user
A GREAT BUY. USED SINCE JUNE 2009.

I’m going to buy another one again for my new Canon 7D camera which I got for this Christmas season. I have used this card in my Canon 5D and Canon Rebel XT without fail doing time lapse videos (thousands of pics brought into a movie) and travel photography. Not a single point of failure. This is an Amazon verified purchase. In other words, I BOUGHT THIS and I USE IT. Enough said.

5 Stars Great, inexpensive card for my Canon 7D
