Canon Digital Rebel Kit with Case 58mm UV Filter and LP E5 Li ion Battery for Canon XS XSi and T1i Digital SLR Cameras




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.

User Ratings and Reviews

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.

Zeikos ZE LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper

Zeikos ZE LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper




The perfect way to keep track of your lens caps. A small button tapes onto the front of your lens cap and the elastic loop goes around the barrell of your lens so that your lens cap always remains attached, hanging from the lens. Never lose a lens cap again!

3 Stars Lens cap strap [With modification}
Works a promised with one exception:

Strap [just a stretchy cord] is too short for a lens longer than a standard lens.

I bought it for my NIKON D90 with 18-105 lens …. worked fine for a while but broke the cord after a month of use.

If the cord were longer I’m sure it would not have broken!

Easy fix …….. I replaced the ‘cord’ with a much longer 1/8″ black ribbon from my wife sewing supplies.

Can remove the metal clip at the ‘lens barrel’ area with needle nose pliers and the ‘dot’ decal comes off easy

on the ‘cap end’ so you can rethread any length cord you want. Just make knots at the cap end and the lens end so

the keeper is secured. Works great ……. no tension on the keeper!

Then again just buy another “Keeper” they are so cheap!

4 Stars So far so good
I purchased two one for a 58mm lenses and one for 77mm lense I was afraid that it breaks when i put it to the bigger lenses so i did with care trying not to open it to much to get inside, also I cleaned the surface with cleaning clothes trying to avoid the loss of sticking.

And so far none of the defectives or quality issues of other reviews have happened, remains one piece, remains attached to the cap keeper.

the cap keeper is cheap, but i leave the cap dangle with no extra care, i put and remove the cap often on my 77mm lenses because i have not buy the protection filter and it remains on good shape, no signs of warning.

I recommend the product, but i took the other reviews in mind on “my instalation instructions”

1 Star Do Not Buy
I received this lens cap keeper as part of a package when I bought my digital SLR. I have been using it for a month and a half (once a week or so), and today I looked down while taking pictures and my lens cap was gone! There was just an empty lens cap keeper dangling from my lens. I do NOT recommend this product. I have emailed the manufacturer to see if they’ll replace my Canon lens cap. I don’t want another one of their lens cap keepers because they don’t do what they’re supposed to do.

2 Stars Lens Keeper that may not keep
On day 2 the disc you place on the lens cap separated and the strap hung loose with half the disc on the end; the other half still on the lens cap. The disc is made from 2 discrete halves. I superglued both halves together and this had held. With this huge exception strap is fine. .

4 Stars Extra Glue
After reading about the lens cap not sticking to the cap keeper. I decided to use some black 3M Weather Strip Adhesive to help things out. So far it has worked great

Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter

Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter




Protects lenses from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage. This filter can be kept on the camera at all times.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Don’t bother with this if you are using the 50mm f/1.8 lens to shoot portraits
This is a cheap UV filter and if you are only using the 50mm f/1.8 lens to shoot indoor portraits, don’t bother with this.

2 Stars Inexpensive, but photo quality sometimes suffers
This is just a basic UV filter, and is usually pretty useful, but occasionally creates serious problems. I’ve noticed that I get blue/green noise on my images in back-lit or bright photographs. This is a serious problem, and isn’t always noticeable in the viewfinder. It’s no fun to get home and find out that some of your favorite compositions look like crap.

I’m using Nikon D90 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) with a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras, which both function beautifully, so the filter is definitely the problem.

If you can’t afford a better filter, go with this one. Be ready to take it off when you are outside though.

5 Stars UV protective filter
I always use UV filters to protect my lenses. This one is on my new 55mm-250mm canon lens and will stay there forever.

3 Stars cheap filter with dusty package
it shipped with a very dusty plastic case, on which the tags were blurred. the filter looks ok with the cheap price. anyway, not as good as the items in local store.

4 Stars protect those lenses: use filters
Protect your camera lens by using a filter. This Tiffen does the job at reasonable price.
