Nikon Capture NX 2 Full Version

NX2 is another improvement on the previous versions. They were great too in their time but there is always room for improvement. NX2 is the next step from NX and Capture. read more..

Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)

I bought this bag to carry my SLR and lenses to Europe and after finally figuring out how to carry it, I found it most useful and quite practical for carrying my gear. I started out swinging it around my right hip for access but felt it just wasn't right. The trick is to swing it around your left hip and it works like a charm. I was also able to carry guide books, extra battery packs, and snack read more..

Lenmar DLC4L Lithium-ion Digital Camera/ Camcorder Battery Equivelent to the Can

I bought this Lenmar battery as a spare for a two week trip overseas. This battery seemed to last as long as the more expensive canon battery that came with the camera. I questioned the quality when I saw the price, but I don't see any difference. I would buy another Lenmar battery. read more..

B + W 77mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter

I won't go into the basics of why you use a polarizer--you should already know that if you're buying a polarizer.

I've used Canon, Tiffen. I upgraded to B+W because of the better quality glass and metal. You can tell the difference in the feel, weight and clarity.

In the future with a little more money, I'll step up to Singh-Ray.

Nikon 18-200mm f/ 3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens

I recently bought this lens with high hopes. I wanted to replace my Tamron 18-200 macro lens that I've dropped twice, and which now creeps terribly when pointed downward. Imagine my horror when I discovered this much vaunted Nikon lens does the same thing, brand new! A friend contacted Nikon, who told her that "excessive" creep can be adjusted somewhat, but the lens will always creep to some ex read more..

Stroboframe Bracket Shoe Mount

The product does what it's supposed to do--but at $14 it's only because of the lack of vendor options. The part itself should be below $10.

Bottomline though is that it works. read more..

Canon Digital Elph Accessory Kit for Canon SD880IS, SD990IS, SD890IS, SD950IS, S

I'm glad I bought this, especially the case, which has a belt loop so the camera is protected while giving me easy access to it. read more..

Pentax BG2 Battery Grip for Pentax K10D and K20D DSLR Cameras

This batter grip is a great upgrade for the K10D or K20D at a great price.

Pros:
* Priced right
* Additional set of shutter release and control dials allows quick and easy portrait oriented shots
* Though I don't use the wireless remote, a nice touch to be able to store in the grip.
* Easily installed and removed.
* The additional weight is lower if co read more..

Nikon 55-200mm f/ 4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor Lens

This is a great lens for the average photographer who is looking to get some up close shots and not have to spend a lot of money. I definately recommend going with the VR. I primarily use it outdoors and for sports/athletics. Good picture quality but needs good light. I haven't taken many pictures indoors but don't expect it to provide as good of pictures as outdoors. read more..

Sigma 105mm f/ 2.8 EX DG Medium Telephoto Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Overall , the image quality is very good -- the sharpness is undeniably good. I'm no sucker for the techy terms but my most qualified review of the photos is -- I am very satisfied with the quality.

Downside - the AF motor is very slow. And MF is a bit mystery to me. I could not control the focusing during MF. Normally, I just move the switch to MF to lock on the subject and that's af read more..

Canon EF 70-300mm f/ 4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

The lens meets my expectations. I'm disappointed with picture quality at 300mm, blurry - definately need a tripod.
I'm angry about an added charge for New York sales tax. I'm not a resident of NY. Amazon wouldn't ship the item to an APO address (which our federal government declares must be viewed as a US address); so I had it delivered to a family member in NY, then forwarded to me. I w read more..

Tenba P695 Pro Traveler II SLR Camera System Shoulder Bag, Black

It's a great , sturdy bag with LOTS of pockets. I do like it a lot, it safely keeps ALL your photo toys, but to carry it around is not a good idea, it is heavy (WHEELS would be great). If you just need a place to store all your gear, go for it, otherwise choose something smaller and lighter. read more..

Coby 1.5-Inch Digital Photo Key Chain (Red)

I had a little trouble with the software at first but after playing around with it I found you need to put the usb into the keychain and then open the software. This keychain is worth the 75 points I like that it has a slideshow option too. I wish that it had a cover though, I like putting my keychains on my purse or all on one ring and I'm afraid that it will get messed up. All in all I like it : read more..

PocketWizard PWP-TR 801-125 PLUS II Transceiver (Black)

Pocket Wizards are great and they are the industry standard, which means most pros use them. I own a single pocket wizard, because I only need it when I'm shooting at shared studios or on-location where lights are already provided, and my PW serves as a TX not RX. For my personal lighting setup, I prefer the less expensive and very reliable Cybersync RX and TX from Paul C. Buff (Alien Bees). Th read more..

Tamron AF 28-80mm f/ 3.5-5.6 Aspherical Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Nice cheap lens. One of those all-around everyday lenses for the beginner or a backup for everyone who got to be ready for sudden occasions. It could have been better constructed, but light and capable of taking decent images that will surprise even the best professionals. read more..

Joby GP1-EYEN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Yellow)

Bought this before going on a trip to Germany hoping it would be stable enough for my 30D paired with a 70-200 2.8L IS lens. Setting it up as a tripod is definitely not enough to support the weight (although I assumed it wouldn't); the legs would buckle and the whole thing would collapse. However, when secured to the top of a railing, the head held up just fine. With all the other lens I have t read more..

Nikon MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack for the Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera

I originally bought an Opteka battery pack for my D80 after reading some reviews about the hair-trigger shutter button of the Nikon version. Right off I wasn't very impressed with the Opteka - it seemed comically oversized, just goofy to hold, and the grip was smooth, not textured like the Nikon. When an opportunity came up to grab an MB-D80 used for a good price, I decided to check it out. Sid read more..

Tamron 18-270mm f/ 3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR C

I just got this Tamron 18-270VC lens a few days ago.
My D300 and 16-85VR work well, and I needed a telephoto zoom.

I chose this lens from Nikon 18-200VR, 70-300VR, Tamron 28-300VC,
and 18-270VC. This focal length range attracts me, because I mainly
take photos of my son. I usually don't have enough time to
exchange lens.

Pros;
1) Great fo read more..
