User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Canon 50D is all that!
Former Sony A100 user never was quite happy with the Sony quality overall after 3 yrs.

I decided to become a Canon Gal this past September 09!

Now there is no turning back!

I use my equipment professionally and for personal as well.

I can’t wait to upgrade in 2 yrs for the 5DMII cause if the results from a crop are this good I can imagine with the full frame!

Absolutely recommend this to anyone, if not the 50D, any Canon will do.

5 Stars The Canon 50D is everything it’s supposed to be!
Hey, Canon fans! If you’re like me, you have put off buying this camera because it costs a bit more than the Rebel line. When you weigh the camera differences against the cost difference, I promise you that the 50D will come out on top. I previously have owned two Rebels. The kit lens (28-135mm USM IS) is very good also. I may never be able to afford Canon’s outstanding L-series lenses, but the Canon lenses I do have are Image Stabilized and work perfect for me. The camera is built like a tank and is a little bigger and heavier than the Rebels, but that ends up making the camera feel better in my hands, and I am of average build. The 50D is packed with pro features plus Live View, and is more light sensitive than any other camera I have owned. Amazon had the best price and they had it in my hot little hands in just a few days! Outstanding camera. Outstanding price. Outstanding company… Amazon!!! You may regret putting off this purchase any longer.

5 Stars Still the best small body DSLR today
I did a lot of comparison between so many DSLR camera around this price and even bought a Canon EOS 1000D in the beginning.

I also had the Nikon D40, which was pathetic and disappointing.

This 50D does not disappoint at all.

Robust build quality, decent portability, great battery life, amazing features, image quality, not to mention the admission to join the biggest used camera stuff: lenses, etc.

For this kind of price, it will beat anything else out there: Sony, Pentax, Nikon, etc.

The higher ISO is actually quite amazing, compared to the newer 7D, it only losses after Extended ISO (12800>)

Enough said about this camera, if you’re not planning to do any HD filming then save $700 and get this instead of the new 7D.

5 Stars Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens
What I can say? I must say They are GREAT PRODUCTS! They are very easy to use and result of pictures are great. That makes me kind of like a pro. :)

5 Stars Canon has done it again !
Once again Cannon has done it! This camera is well made, easy to use, takes breathless pictures and has unlimited resources available to teach you how to expand your horizons in digital photography. I am a

hobby photographer and have taken pictures with this camera and my Canon Digital Rebel that would rival

the best professional photographer’s out there! Cannon makes it easy.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Canon Speedlite 580EX II is FANTASTIC!
I’m not going to get into a lot of detail with this review, as there are many very informative reviews available on Amazon and elsewhere. I just wanted to add my two cents in and give this one more five star review. I am fully impressed by this flash! It’s a monster in size compared to what I’ve used in the past, but still quite manageable. The quality of light it puts out gives my photos a beautiful, refined look. I fell in love by the second shot I took with this flash! It has a multitude of features and like other Canon products, quality is top-notch. I am glad I spent the extra money to upgrade to the 580EX II. Nothing else can touch it, in my opinion.

5 Stars Perfection
I have the 580EX II & 430EX and the STE2 transmitter. If you want to learn how to really make these strobes “paint with light” – subscribe to [...] – they have so many articles, videos & tricks of the trade to get the most out of your speedlights.

My 580EX II is the 1st flash I bought and it is a matter of me getting the most out of this light and not the other way around. As long as I control the power, etc on the light, I get consistently great photos. Battery life is also very good as I can pump out quite a few pics in a hurry at some events I shoot.

I dont like the battery door and the thunbscrew for the hotshoe is sometimes a bit finicky but the flash itself works like a charm. I have also dropped this flash several times and I haven’t broken it yet…

I also have a complete Alien Bee lighting setup and amazingly enough, I can great shots with my speedlights that are very comparable with my AlienBees.

The 580 will act as a master to the 430 and the STE2 can trigger both of them for when I set my speedlights on stands with umbrellas, etc.. I have had my 580 for about 5 years now and I would be lost without it :)

5 Stars Read my recommendations on how to get light-wrapped portraits with just this flash
I did what you are never supposed to do: bought this flash less than 24 hours before an important shoot. I chose this model because it was going to be the only light source for a portrait, and I wanted maximum light output available.

I got instructions for a DIY diffuser/bounce card from youtube, basically a trapezoidal sheet of heavy white paper (I used inkjet glossy photo paper, with the back (matte) side facing the light). I bent the bounce card into a U shape around this flash, pointed it at the ceiling, and got amazing, shadowless portraits. This unit has power to spare while wrapping the subject in light. I used a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro Lens for the portrait, it turned out great.

I used the feature on our Canon EOS Rebel T1 that shoots a test flash to set the flash power, and manual exposure mode on the camera. At 1/40th and f5.6, I was getting perfect results with minimum ambient light. No tripod required, image stabilization kept things steady. I mention this because although the camera, lens and flash weigh quite a bit, they can still be held steady enough for sharp shots at 1/40th.

I’m getting great battery life on Rayovac Rechargeable Hybrid NiMH Batteries. No complaints-this unit does everything required. Even the manual is clear and concise, although it focuses on features and functions rather than how to get the best quality photos. If you want help learning the latter, I recommend searching youtube for flash photography videos, there are many. Watch a video, try the technique, you’ll learn fast.

Five stars for flawless performance, no deductions. Highly recommended.

5 Stars Love it!
What a wonderfull flash! I really enjoy bouncing the flash. Getting rid of the harsh shadows is a joy for my photography. I can’t wait to get another one to use as a remote flash. I’m still working on using the strobe function. I will get some great photos with that.

5 Stars Great Lens!
My sister loves this thing! She bought this lens to go with her Canon Rebel Xti. It took some playing around with but she loves the performance of this unit and the outcome of the pictures. She actually forgot it on the back of her vehicle and found it crushed on the road. She liked it so much she bought another one just like it.
