Giottos Rocket Air Blower Professional AA1900 Large Lenspen Lens Pen Cleaning System Accessory Kit for Canon Nikon Olympus Pentax and Sony Digital SLR Cameras



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 Complete Kit
Everything was described. I have already used the rocket blower and the pen and both worked properly.

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.

5 Stars Best gift given this year
Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. I don’t think he has taken any “bad” photos. Love the extras. Came with everything he needed.

5 Stars Great Camera so happy I chose this one
I have been checking around to find an SLR that I could upgrade to from the ordinary cameras they have out there. I have been using the Sony cybershot which I do love and it is great for basic photography but I wanted one that I could do more with and with this camera you can do so much. I would not have thought to pick up all of the items that come with this package and the carry case is much better than I would have expected it to be with this price. I have only used this a few times but the pictures are beautiful, crisp and clear. I would definately recommend this camera.

4 Stars Great camera for the price and easy to use
This is by far the easiest SLR digital camera I have ever used. The manual was easy to understand and I started shooting pictures without any problems. So far, I have only taken pictures indoor with natural day light and with the built-in flash in AUTO setting as well as manual settings. While the pictures taken with the built-in flash were acceptable, they came out a little dark when in AUTO mode. When in manual mode, making adjustments to the f-stops, and other features take some getting used to. While the quality is much better when you can find the correct combinations, but it was trail and error. I borrowed my son-in-law’s Nikon flash unit and the pictures were much better using the AUTO setting. One feature I like is how light the camera is even when fitted with the longer lense. All-in-all, this is a vey good starter SLR digital camera.

5 Stars Great entry level SLR
If you’re an amateur photographer looking for a camera to start shooting, this is your best choice.

Nikon has made this model the easiest to use. I don’t use the guide mode much but if you don’t know anything about SLRs you can learn a lot from this camera.

Pros:

.Rugged feeling

.Lots of shooting tips

.Retouch and review modes very useful

.Very nice photo quality overall

Cons:

.No auto-bracketing

.Custom white balance’s not too easy to set up.

.No live view

Overall this is a great product. It lacks some features that as a professional might make your job easier but except for the auto bracketing that I missed, you can live with the other stuff with no problem.

Nikon 55 200mm f 4 5 6G ED IF AF S DX VR Vibration Reduction Zoom Nikkor Lens 52mm UV Glass Filter Accessory Kit for D40 D60 D90 D200 D300 D300s D3000 D5000 Digital SLR Cameras

Nikon 55 200mm f 4 5 6G ED IF AF S DX VR Vibration Reduction Zoom Nikkor Lens 52mm UV Glass Filter Accessory Kit for D40 D60 D90 D200 D300 D300s D3000 D5000 Digital SLR Cameras



Kit includes:
♦ 1) Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
♦ 2) Vivitar 52mm UV Glass Filter
♦ 3) Precision Design Deluxe 6 Piece Lens & Digital SLR Cleaning Kit
♦ 4) CapKeeper 2 Lens Cap Strap

This 3.6x zoom features Nikon’s VR image stabilization and is perfect for portraits and action. Vibration Reduction reduces the effects of camera shake, allowing hand-held shooting at up to 3 shutter speeds slower than without VR. An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element minimizes chromatic aberration, and a compact rod-type Silent Wave Motor (SW) enables ultra-high speed auto focusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation.

This Vivitar UV Filter is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV “fogging/haze” effect”, which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. Perfect for digital, video and photo.

Keep your lens cap securely attached to your lens with the convenient, simple-to-use CapKeeper. Never lose a lens cap again!

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you’ll ever need to properly clean your lenses, including a Hurricane Air Blower, Lens Cleaning Tissues, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.

5 Stars Awesome!
Product was shipped well and rec’d in excellent condition. It was exactly what I wanted. And the price was good.

5 Stars Nikon 55-200 VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
I just got this as a gift yesterday and I am very pleased with it. The pictures are crisp and clear and the closeups from distant shots are impressive. I would like to test it out more but for now I am impressed with it.

4 Stars Love the lens
I bought this item after reviewing previous ratings and a LOT of research as I was concerned about the budget. Initially my plan was to buy the 70-300 mm Non VR lens. It was within my budget and was thinking 300mm would help me to cover more distance.

But after reading reviews and comparisons I chose 55-200mm VR.

Reasons:

1. VR helps me a lot as I am interested in taking Sunset/Sunrise and do not have a dedicated external flash.

2.100mm doesn’t make big difference. Read a quote by Ansel Adams “Best wide-angle lens? ‘Two steps backward’ and ‘look for the ah-ha’” mentioned in Kenrockwell page.

So thought, for 300mm I need to move forward few steps, ha ha.

3. Have Nikon D40 so wanted a lens which works in AF mode. 70-300mm doesn’t.

So bought in Oct, love this and its awesome. Except the add-ons, they are not very good quality materials. But this deal is cheaper than the lens in other sites.

Thanks for people who wrote the reviews….

BTW, the lens makes some noises while auto focusing and (releasing shutter if VR is on), and its normal.

5 Stars G.K.Babu’s Review
As described Lens quality and price is superb. Item is in excellent condition. Recommended Seller. Thanks.

5 Stars No Brainer Sports Action
I bought this lens based on several recommendations about the quality of the images you can get with it. In particular, the lightness of the lens is a major factor. I recently bought the Nikon D90 I use this lens on and the combination is very easy to hold for long periods and to shoot sports with. All the pictures I took with reasonable light levels were super sharp. I used it to shoot pictures of my grandson playing football and even caught a sequence of shots where I zoomed between shots (1 second apart or so) as he scored almost right in front of me. All the shots at 200mm were excellent after discounting my sometimes poor selection of where to point the lens. The VR clearly was working as I was hand-holding for all my shots,

5 Stars Super Sweet Camera!
Love this camera, just got it for Christmas and was able to use it right away without any problems. It’s our first SLR camera, and we like it a lot! Great investment!!

5 Stars LOVE my new Nikon D-SLR!!
First, I have to say that I am an amateur photographer – just love taking pics of my kids, family and nice scenes. I don’t need a lot of extras … but have always been disappointed by slow shutter speed and, ultimately, missing “the” moment. (Espcially with kids!!) But I don’t have that problem with this camera! Its fast, accurate, takes GREAT pics and I’m thrilled with the “guide” (very helpful!). As far as the purchase, the price was excellent and came with many extras (carry case, lens cleaner, extra battery, memory card … and much more!) I’m very impressed and couldn’t give this purchase a higher recommendation!

4 Stars Good camera
I did a lot of research before purchasing this camera. I’m not disappointed in it. The photo quality is excellent. The automatic features are very handy and the manual override capability is very good. I have been a little discouraged by two things; one, the ‘info’ button is very close to the shutter-release button and several times I’ve pressed the wrong one and missed a shot, two, although the lens that came with the camera is very nice I will definitely need a more powerful zoom lens.

So, overall, I would recommend this camera. I will purchase the 200mm zoom lens and eventually get used to avoiding the ‘info’ button when I want to press the shutter-release.

5 Stars Good first DSLR
I’ve recently moved from slim digital camera world to DSLRs and the Nikon D3000 is a good first step. I like the battery life, picture quality and ease of use.

5 Stars Nikon D3000 and accessory kit including Nikon Gadget bag
After months of research I finally settled on the D3000 as my first DSLR. Next came the search for the best price.

As for the price the camera, lens and accessories included in the deal offered by Cameta Camera through Amazon can not be beat. With 8GB memory card, lens and gadget bag and extra battery the camera is ready to go right out of the box (after charging the battery, of course).

As for the camera I have been very happy. I have had a number of blurry shots but I truly believe that it is my lack of experience and not the camera. I am sure that the more I use the camera the better I will become.

Delivery time was great, my gadget bag was on back order and it still arrived within a week.

Great Price and speedy delivery who can ask for more

Precision Design DSLR300 Universal High Power Auto Flash with Zoom Bounce Swivel Head for Canon Rebel XT XTi XS XSi EOS 30D 40D 50D 5D SLR Cameras




This universal high-power flash unit for Canon digital SLR cameras is the perfect accessory for any photographer looking for reduced red-eye, evenly lit subjects, or more power for telephoto shooting. This flash can be effective at ranges of over 50 feet, reduces shadows, and adds depth to your pictures thanks to the adjustable head, which zooms, swivels and tilts for added versatility.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good in a pinch…
I have had this flash for a little over a month now. I am very “anti-flash” and will pretty much do ANYTHING I CAN not to need one. There is only so much you can do with your aperture, ISO, and shutter speed before you start losing serious quality in your photos…sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and use the flash. I find that this flash paired with a Lumiquest Portable Softbox and bounced off a white ceiling really does the trick in low light situations. I haven’t had much of a problem so far…and it has made it possible to take crisp photos even in an almost dark area. I say, for the price, it is certainly worth a try.

4 Stars Great flash for the price
I recently purchased this flash for my Canon Rebel XS and was a little worried about buying a flash that didnt have the Canon name on it, but when I looked at the price difference between the Canon 430 and this, I decided I would try this out. So far, I am quite impressed with the flash. The flash level seems bright but not too bright and with a omnibounce diffuser on it, it takes great pictures in low light settings. The reason I gave this a four rather than a five is that it does have a little bit of a cheap plastic feel to it and since it is not a Canon, you can not do as much adjusting with the flash inside the camera. Overall great product, especially for those on a budget, need a spare flash, or just starting in the DSLR world.

2 Stars Did not last very long…
I bought this for my daughters Canon EOS XSi, which she uses for her photography class.

She got about a month worth of use from it, then it died. Just beyond the return policy limit. Go figure.

Qualiy was just ok… maybe 8/10. Could be a little more solid in my mind.

Functionality was about a 9/10. Not bad for a $50 flash.

I really like(d) the telescoping flash lens, which converts the flash from direct to diffused flash instantly without adding a separate diffuser. VERY nice feature.

I would give it a 4/5 if it did not die on me so soon.

5 Stars Bright bang for the buck
Great value for this product. I’ve been using it for about 4 months and can confidently recommend it. Bright, with new batteries (rechargables) recycle time was 1 s. Simple functions, lightweight and stellar with a soft box. Great as an off camera flash too.

Look, if you want to compare a $500 Canon Speedlite to this $50 product you’re barking up the wrong tree. I don’t see Motor Trend comparing an Acura with a Yugo. But if you want a great intro flash to learn about strobes then you can’t beat this deal.

3 Stars My experience with the Precision Design Flash
The flash was a little difficult to use at first. I was in a gym at a volleyball game and the lighting was very dim. I had to adjust the flash several different times to acquire a clear picture – which meant I missed some “Kodak” moments. I am learning how to bounce the light but overall it is a good product.
