SanDisk 16GB Extreme - SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card (SDSDX3-016G-P31, Retail Packaging) - NEW 30MB/s version Top Quality

Regarding complaints about performance with HD camcorders:

SDHC cards are rated in MegaBytes per second (MB/sec). HD camcorders are rated in Megabits per second (Mb/sec). There are 8 bits per Byte.

Therefore, an HD camcorder with 24Mb/sec video capture requires (24Mb/sec) / (8Mb/MB) = 3MB/sec SDHC card. A Class 4 SDHC card with at least 4MB/sec data transfer is more than enough to capture full HD. Those camcorders are not designed to work with Class 6 and Class 10 cards.

Remember that Full HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels = 2,073,600 pixels, or 2 Megapixels. Digital SLRs shoot at 12 Megapixels with minimal lag time between shots requiring much higher data transfer rates than HD camcorders.

Consequently, people who use Extreme Class 10 SDHC cards with high speed digital SLRs seem happy, but people using them with HD camcorders are not. It can be confusing, but you must use the appropriate card for your application. Faster is not always better.Get more detail about SanDisk 16GB Extreme - SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card (SDSDX3-016G-P31, Retail Packaging) - NEW 30MB/s version.

Firewire DV Cable Camcorder For Canon Sony Sharp JVC This instant

When I previously needed a Firewire cable, I went to Best Buy and paid too much like over thirty bucks for a Firewire cable. Of course, at the time, I immediately needed the cable right then and there. If I had the time, I probably would have looked around on Amazon and found what I found here. Yup, I should have came here to Amazon where I paid a whole lot less: a little over three bucks for another Firewire cable that I needed to give to my sister for her computer that I installed a firewire PCI card into the motherboard for use with her digital-tape camcorder. I bought the Firewire cable from Vortex Cable who is a seller here on Amazon. This is like the fifth cable that I ordered via Amazon from Vortex Cable. (The other cables that I got from Vortex Cable via Amazon were USB extension cables both short and long.) Not much else to say except that the Firewire cable is great. Highly recommended.Get more detail about Firewire DV Cable Camcorder For Canon Sony Sharp JVC.

Zeikos ZE-LCH1 Lens Cap Keeper Best Quality

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!

Nikon Complete Lens Cleaner Kit Order Now

I read the other reviews before buying this. I don't regret the purchase but will not purchase again. I view this package as an introductory package of sorts. If you don't have much to clean, and only need to clean your lens occasionally, then this is probably okay. This package comes with "everything", but there is very little of "everything". Use this to learn, to try what "good enough" cleaning supplies look/feel like. I ended up using different cleaning solutions and cleaning clothes that I bought separately, and a lenspen to get rid of any residual film/haze.Get more detail about Nikon Complete Lens Cleaner Kit.

Canon 77mm UV Haze Decide Now

I had to send the first UV filter back because it appeared to be used. A film of some sort was on the lens, the glass was loose in the circular frame and the threads showed signs of long-term wear. The file was impossible to remove regardless of the cleaning solution I used. The replacement UV filter while not appearing used was very dirty and required considerable cleaning before use. Either Canon is shipping low-quality controlled products or Amazon is selling "re-furbs" without disclosing this.Get more detail about Canon 77mm UV Haze.

Canon PSC900 Deluxe Leather Case Right now

After trying several cases from the likes of Built NY and Lowepro, I finally decided on the Canon PSC900 leather case. It's far from perfect, but it was the best available solution.

The best part of the case is that it is custom molded for the Canon S90 digital camera. The flap has a circular indentation that allows the lens to fit around it perfectly. The case is a perfect fit and does not add significant bulk, which was the problem I had with some of the Lowepro's. On the other hand, there is absolutely no additional storage or features. It does however have a belt loop but a clip would have been a better solution so that a belt wouldn't need to be threaded in the loop. The flap secures to the body by a magnetic button, which is fairly strong but not so much so that you struggle to open it. I don't understand why they chose to leave so much open space on the upper part of the sides though. I can understand a small slit on the left side (facing the front) for wrist straps, but why the opening on the right side? It's not like you can access any ports while in the case. Lastly, you can't tell from the photos, but the Canon logo is not printed on the case. It's a piece of plastic that they glued on. I can see the logo coming off sometime in the future.

Of the available cases, I found the PSC900 to be the best for the Canon S90. Unlike similar neoprene cases, the hard formed exterior shell of the PSC900 will actually protect the camera from bumps on tables or corners. It could use improvements and a price reduction, but if you invested in the S90, another $35 for a good case is a worthwhile expenditure.Get more detail about Canon PSC900 Deluxe Leather Case.

Cheapest Canon PSC-1050 Deluxe Leather Case (Red)

Ordered from Amazon, but was worried about the color after reading the reviews. It came metalic red - not pink or orange. Maybe the color varies from case to case, but I was very satisfied with mine. Also, when I put the camera in, the magnet would not work so I thought the review about the weak magnet was accurate. Then my mom found one of those little anti-moisture gel pack stuffed in the bottom. We took that out and now everything is great.Get more detail about Canon PSC-1050 Deluxe Leather Case (Red).

Cheap Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

This is a great lens. Bought it for my wife as an upgrade to her DX 55-200mm f5.6. We have used that lens for about 4 years and love however it was a bit short for shooting our daughters sporting events. The extra 100mm is very nice and the quality is terrific. I would say we are novice photographers and enjoy snapping photos. This lens is fast enough for the casual use we give it and has not let us down at all. The build quality feels very good in your hands. It is heavy relative to the shorter lens but not too heavy that your hands are yearning to put it down. Lens hood is solid as well. I like that it has a metal mount vs. a plastic mount on our other NIKON lenses. Auto focus is smooth and zoom ring is smooth. I would heartily recommend this to any NIKON owner.

Where To Buy Joby GP3 Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod with BH1 Ball Head with Bubble Level for Digital SLR Cameras

I read the reviews here complaining about the weight not being supported but I have had no issue so far. I use a Pentax K200D with a battery pack and while I have not used my biggest lens "in the field" with this, I have tested it and once I got it balanced, it did fine. Im not sure I would try hanging it off the side of my car with a huge lens on but I feel more than comfortable with my lighter lenses.

If you are familiar with the Gorillapod concept there is nothing new about this one other than being bigger and having a ball head. The legs are big enough to wrap around a normal railing/post you would find in most touristy places. Bigger than a stop sign pole but smaller than a street light pole.

Attaching it to strange places is much easier due to the quick release on the ball head. You can position the pod, slide the camera in, test the load and then either adjust or start shooting.

My ball head is quite stiff to the point that if it has been unused for more than a day or two I have to push hard to get it "fluid" again. Not a bad thing in my opinion.

The quick release plate is small the level placement is excellent. I have gotten in the habit of leaving it on and using it to level my shots hand shooting. The connector is a screw and really needs to be tightened with a quarter so keep one handy.

If I had a complain it would be that getting the legs straight for storage can be a pain. It seems like getting one straight makes the others bent. This is not a "carry in a pocket" tripod and leaving it attacked would not be a good idea. I got mine on sale and I am not sure if I would have paid full price for it. Its a great product but the full price seems a bit excessive.

I have not explored the world of wild connections much but for me where the Gorillapod really shines are those low angle shots. I can make my "real" tripod get as low as the Gorillapod but it means reconfiguring to flip the center post and shooting upside down. 20 minutes vs 1 minute with the Groillapod. It doesnt replace a full tripod but it does a lot of things better and faster. Highly recommended.Get more detail about Joby GP3 Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod with BH1 Ball Head with Bubble Level for Digital SLR Cameras.

LensPEN Lens Cleaning System Immediately

I purchased this after misplacing my Nikon branded lens pen. I expected this to be the same. I was dead wrong.

Giottos AA1900 Large Rocket Blaster This instant

This blower is large, well made, and puts out a strong air stream (though not as strong as canned air). It works well for cleaning dust and debris from just about any optical surface, as described by other reviewers. However, I have read the technical details, product description, and/or some reviews that tend to 'exaggerate' its features, such as:

AIR ONLY ENTERS THE BULB THROUGH THE VALVE: ~THIS IS FALSE!~ When I hold this up to my ear I can hear some air whistling INTO the nozzle. (No, don't blow air into your ear!) I removed the nozzle and found there is no valve on the front end of the bulb or in the nozzle. The 'technical details' state the valve prevents back-flow from the nozzle. That is crap, some air DOES get sucked into the nozzle, so dust can be sucked into the nozzle, to be blown back out onto your sensor.

THE AIR IS FILTERED: ~THIS IS FALSE!~ There is no filter at the inlet valve, or anywhere else. Even if there was, it wouldn't do much good since air also enters through the nozzle. The statement in the 'product description' that it "has an air valve to prevent it from breathing in dust" is not only misleading, it is a LIE! Air valves won't prevent dust from entering with the air, only filters can do that, and there are no filters on this product! (And Giottos does NOT state the air is filtered.)

NOZZLE IS REMOVEABLE: ~THIS IS TRUE!~ But it is difficult to remove and very difficult to re-attach. It doesn't seem as if was actually 'designed' to be removeable, and removing/re-attaching it is not something I would want to do on a regular basis. I don't see why this is listed as a feature.

GOOD FOR CLEANING COMPUTER KEYBOARDS, FAN VENTS: ~MY OPINION: BORDERLINE!~ To me, the air flow is borderline for this, this blower will get the loose dust off, but canned air works better overall. You may find the air flow is adequate for those tasks.

What is it made of? The 'product description' states this is made of silica gel (huh? isn't that the little package put in to absorb moisture?), but the packaging states 'natural rubber'. In fact, the package states: "White spots or lines appearing after a period of use is normal for natural rubber". Not a big deal, but since the manufacturer or seller's claim is confusing , I thought I would comment.

It is a good blower, but it is over-priced for what it does, and it does not deserve some of the hype it is getting.

I just wanted to set the record straight. Get more detail about Giottos AA1900 Large Rocket Blaster.

Opteka OPT15 15-Inch Digital Picture Frame with 1GB Built-In Memory Immediately

Okay the disappointment started right when the package arrived. Manufacturer's box was placed into a very loose cardboard box with way too little insulating air packets in between. The manufacturer's box itself looked like it was stored on the shelf for years and constantly moved back and forth - all scratched and worn out. Inside the box it did not look any better. The frame was fixed in by the styrofoam holders but the plastic sleeve was not on, just laying separately in the box. The wooden frame was scratched in several places, so I even started thinking of returning that thing back to Amazon.

Plastic attachment with the pocket for the remote and a groove for the plastic stand, as well as the stand itself, were made from cheap plastic and did not look solid, so I was not surprised to discover that the stand, which is supposed to fix the frame in 3 or 4 different positions (so that you could control the angle when you use the stand to put the frame on a horisontal surface such as table) actually holds only in one position. If you try to use any other position, weak plastic "button" that is supposed to fix the position, is self pressed by the weight of the frame, and the stand skids further to the next position, then again to the next... until it stops in the farthest one. Totally useless design.

Now more important things. Picture quality of this frame is sheerly disappointing to say the least. I knew the resolution would be only 1024x768 (hey, I am using 1600x960 on my 15" laptop, so what's the problem to make at least 1280x1024 frame?). However, the reflection glare and very poor viewing angles add to the negative impression. When you look at the frame at any angle higher than 30-40 degrees, you start seeing negative colors and other color distortions, especially noticeable on the dark photos. You need to ensure that your line of sight is strictly orthogonal to the plane of the frame, if you want to see the picture not distorted.

So that I am not entirely negative... On the bright side, there were absolutely no problems connecting the frame to the PC (using mini USB jack on the side of the frame) and uploading the photos. The frame also has media card slots for various media formats, and you can even attach the flash drive to the provided USB slot to get yet more space for the photos.

Overall, this seems to be my worst purchase that I had ever made with Amazon. I wished I never had the idea of buying the picture frame coming to my mind...Get more detail about Opteka OPT15 15-Inch Digital Picture Frame with 1GB Built-In Memory.
