1 Star False advertisement, plus it’s not a good product.
I was supposed to be the photographer at a friend’s party, and I was going to use this for everyone to take their own photos. Well, now I’ll have to make do with the timer. I’m returning it because of the false claim that it works on my D3000 and I suggest everyone do the same, even if it is only $10. This is directly from the instruction book: RC-2 Remote Control for Nikon D40, D40X, D70S, D70, D50, 8400, 8800, F75, F65, F55, N65, N75, Nuvis S, Lite Touch. There are more for Canon and other brands, but this remote does not work for my D3000 like the title suggests.

The one thing any small piece of technology like this needs is a small loop so that the owner can put a string through it so they don’t lose it. It disappointed me on all fronts.

5 Stars great buy!
very impressed with this item. you would rather buy this compared to other brands and is way more cheaper!

5 Stars Love it!
With your nikon there should be a timer setting that you can page through until a remote shows up (with or without a timer too) that enables this. I can use it in front, back and on the sides of the camera. We even played with bouncing it around another room to this cam and it worked great. Feels solid and very well engineered. Will be buying more for my family (my dad has a D80.)

1 Star Opteka Rc-2 wireless remote
Although it came with fast shipping, gets a 5 star for portability, and is exactly what I “thought” I wanted, I am very dissappointed in this! It clearly states in the posting that it is for a Nikon D60, when I actually received it at home though it clearly states in the information guidebook that this is NOT for the D60!! Doesn’t work for my camera!! I only paid $10 for it, so not worth the hassle of returning it for a refund, but still upsets me that I paid the company for something that they misrepresented to me! Most likely a great remote if you’re lucky enough to actually have it work with your camera.

5 Stars Excellent wireless remote
I use this with nikon d3000 in quick release mode and it works in virtually all direction such as sides and back , did not need to train as inside pamphlet suggested, range is pretty good too. I am completely satisfied.

5 Stars Perfect Fit
I recently purchased a Canon Powershot SX20IS through Amazon. The lens cap fits securely on the lens barrel but there is no tether, only a clip inside to attach the cap onto the neck strap, which I don’t use. When I saw this item and the reviews were very positive, I decided to buy it. This is THE tether that all super zoom and DSLR cameras should include. The elastic band fits snugly around the lens barrel and the sticky button fits onto the lens cap securely. The tether may be one to two inches on the long side, but better long than too short.

4 Stars Good value for money
The capkeeper does what is supposed to do. I would have give it fivestars if it were customizable for both SLR lenses and ZDSLRs bodies.

4 Stars Great , hard to find item
Hunted all over for these after losing my lens cover. These are perfect, inexpensive and simple to use.

4 Stars So far so good…
I just purchased the Sima Capkeeper 2 and put it on my canon kit lens 28-135. Works great and seems to be sticking pretty securely and although the string is a bit short, it’s doable for this particular lens. I’m not so sure it would be long enough for a larger zoom without interfering.

5 Stars Works excellent with Nikon D40
This product works great with my stock nikon d40 kit lens. The sticky bits stick well, and althought the chord looks a bit short, it fits the 18-55 lens really well. I used a small c clamp to apply pressure to the sticky bit on the lens cap. So far so good! Two thumbs up!

The EN-EL9 is a rechargeable Li-ion battery for use exclusively with Nikon digital cameras. It can be recharged repeatedly using the MH-23 Quick Charger.

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.

5 Stars Great battery!
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.

3 Stars MRS
Ok I couldn’t find a way to contact you so…

I think giving a shipping range of July 6 to July 21 is lame. It was be nice if you could get it to me before July 7 cuz thats when I need it. If not I’ll cancel my order.

Thanks

5 Stars Digital camera battery
What can I say its a battery whose main job is to store power to run my device. I charged it up and it held the charge so it seems to work great.

Thank you

5 Stars Works as expected.
I bought this as a spare battery for my Nikon D60, as it is always recommended to have a spare. The battery worked well as expected. If yo are an amateur, or a serious photographer, a spare or two is always a must. I would recommend this product.

5 Stars Love it!
I received this camera out of the blue as a Christmas/Graduation gift. I had just received a Canon Powershot in September and loved that camera, but when I got this one. WOW….JUST WOW.

I absolutely love this camera, and I am so happy I finally own a DLSR. I love being able to have more control over images, holding this camera feels natural, and I like that you can buy accessories and lenses for this versus your regular point and shoot digital cameras. For a first DLSR, I highly recommend this.

The only thing I wish it had was a preview feature like you have on point and shoots (I’m not sure what you’d call that feature but you can see your image through the eyepiece and on the screen before you take it). Otherwise, I love it and am having a fun time taking pictures with it and learning all the other features it has!

5 Stars good for beginners to DSLR’S
I really like this camera for learning photography, I’ve taken some really great shots that I’m proud of and I enjoy the learning process. This camera is great for nature photos too.

5 Stars Love my new camera!
I am by no means a professional but when I wanted my first DSLR camera I did a lot of research and ended up making the D40 my choice. My original choice was first the D80, then I changed to the D200, but when my husband thought the prices were too much for a toy, I reevaluated and chose the D40 for it’s performance and price. I mainly used [...] as my research site, and he was a great help. I have always used Canon, but when I decided on a DSLR, I wanted Nikon. I don’t feel like the transition was too hard- especially since this was my first SLR. It takes a bit of time to learn and patience to get your manual settings right, but when you need a quick fix, the “P”(program) setting works great. For a first time SLR, I think this was a great choice, and the lens that comes with the kit is great.

5 Stars Perfect Camera for all situations
This camera is just great. If you are not a pro, and you want a high quality, inexpensive camera, then this DSLR is for you.

I bought this camera about 2 months ago. I just love it. It is easy to carry everywhere, and takes great pictures. You do not need a moving screen at the back of the camera. You don’t need to take video – as the shutter will open up and allow all the dust get on your sensor!!!!!!!

If you think you need all the buttons of a D300 camera, then you need a D300. Although the d40 menue includes the majority of the features of more expensive camera, these might not be accesible by pushing a button like on D300/D90… but have to go two steps into the menu…

For this reason, I am not going to take any points off… because D40 has its own quality, by keeping it easier to use… and easy to access… and easy to carry around…

Great Product!!! I am using the nikon lenses: 18-55mm, 35mm f/1.8, and 70-300mm.

4 Stars Nice simple little camera
This is a nice simple little starter camera. Decent controls. For about $400 with the lens, I think it’s a great deal. 6MP is more than sufficient. Biggest drawback is the limited number of Nikon lens it can use. But love the fact that it can sync flash at even 1/1000s!

4 Stars Great for the price
I bought this a few months ago and have been happy with it. The quality of construction seems good and it is easy to adjust length quickly. It easily handles my Canon Rebel XSI even with a 70-200 f/2.8 lens which is quite heavy. I have not tried more expensive monopods and this one seems adequate for my needs. I plan to use it during school functions with the kids and for extra stability for non-IS lenses.

5 Stars Good Monopod
Bought this monopod nearly a year now and love it!! Have not used it much, but it works well when i need it.

I am 5’10″ tall and when i have my nikon d40 mounted at full extension i have to tip on my toes to see through the eyepiece. Therefore, it should work well for persons in excess of 6′ tall with larger cameras.

The head feels solid but i cant say how it would perform with much heavier cameras. Treat it well and it will return the favour.

4 Stars Well built and sturdy
I bought this to replace my tripod. I didn’t realized it can’t replace a tripod, but like it just the same. It is made well and is very sturdy. Once I get the hang of this item I am sure I will use it more and more.

4 Stars Very good monopod
I was surprised by the quality and material this product is made of for this price tag!

It is very well built and truly deserves the Canon logo on it.

However, I am a night phtography fan, and to be honest I have discovered this hobby for only two years till now so you can’t say I’m a pro, I bought this monopod to test and see if it will help me get rid of my heavy tripod. Here are my results:

1- Portability: monopod 10/10 – tripod 3/10

2- Weight: mono: very light – tri: well it depends on which brand and price tag you got, but for sure this monopod is a lot lighter than any tripod out there.

3- Steadiness for long exposure shooting: mono: 8/10 if you are sticking the monopod between guard rails or leaning on a wall for example but 2/10 if you are trying to hold it vertically still especially if it is extended to your height which is most of the cases, so you still need to make it lean on something to get very good still photo if your exposure is 2 seconds or more, for less than 2 seconds exposures, I am far better off without the monopod by kneeling on the ground and resting one elbow on the other knee and the other elbow on my chest while using an Image Stabalizer than using a monopod – tripod: 10/10

4- Size when retracted: mono 9/10 (nice copmact and easy to store anywhere, heck it fits in the magazines pocket at the back of the drivers seat in your car) – Tripod: 6/10

5 Stars Better Than Expected
Lightweight, sturdy, and easy adjustment. This is exactly what I was looking for to take to the National Parks where a tripod would be a burden.

The camera’s angle of view multiply the camcorder, digital/video camera by 0.45 times, which more than doubles the angle of view of the camera. Great for landscapes or recording in situations where a little creative curvature of field of view or fish-eye effects.

4 Stars 52MM Wide-Angle Lens
This product is very good for beginners and intermediate photographers. Received the lens in record time and it fit on my Nikon D60. No issues.

1 Star Soft focus in corners
Only the center of your photo will be in focus. Edges will be blurry (which you will not realize until you transfer your photos to your computer) – so in my case I ended up with a bunch of blurred photos which would be fine if I would not use the “wide-angle lens”.
