Digital Cameras

It appears to be a well-made camera case designed for a thin compact or ultra-compact camera. I bought it for my daughter who got a Canon D10 for Christmas. It did not come close to fitting the D10 and I should have paid more attention to the dimensions. However, [...] was very responsive and promptly gave me an Amazon credit for the price of the bag plus shipping. It's comforting to know you can buy from Amazon's retailers with confidence that they will treat you right.

Okay based on reviews, thank you all so much, I didn't waste time on these duds. Did find out that you can buy full spectrum, that is, daylight bulbs at the specs listed for this item at your local hardware store, (here's a hint: HD), for about $5 for a pack of 2. For higher wattage it's just best to go to a photography supply retailer like bh or wolf so you get what you ordered. Some folks just don't know the difference and seems this retailer is taking advantage of that.

Once I open the box, the model number is not the same. The light output is 1659 Lumens (not the 1800 Lumens). I can't see anything on the box saying that it is for photo shooting. The box clearly says that this bulk is ideal for table lamps, floor lamps and other open indoor fixtures. Hence I am not getting the right product, which by description is a "27 Watts 5500K Color corrected day light fluorescent lamp photo bulb". You can see anything in the box telling you that you receive the right product. DONT BUY IT .....

I expected more light, but I can get it close enough to like a portrait. Full length shots are another issue all together.

these are off the shelf $2.00 cfls the seller claims 5500 kelvin. These are more like 3500 kelvin. not as pictured or described light spectrum may not matter in a porch light but this seller claims to be selling a photo flood with a daylight spectrum and is not delivering this. the manufacturers website says nothing about spectrum. Ummm maybe you ran out of the good ones and called me a sucker.

This is absolutely mislabeled as a 2-pack but was sent as a single bulb (seller sent the 2nd upon request). The bulbs are nowhere near powerful enough for studio lighting and are, in reality, daylight-corrected household CFLs you can get at Lowes for half the price. Nice CFLs but not suitable for the listed purpose.

Make no mistake, "Walk through Fire" is entirely a Christian hip hop album. It's message of faith is delivered with powerful, even provocative, lyrics that are very thought-provoking to religious and non-religious listeners alike. The beats are well balanced, with roughly half of the tracks being comprised of live instrumentals, and the others produced with sampling. If you are looking for new music that more than scratches the surface of life, and pushes the envelope of the soul rap genre, definitely purchase this album.

I'm sure Canon makes high profit margins on these batteries. It's so tempting to buy the generics that cost 1/3 the price. But what I know from the school of hard knocks is that the generic batteries are terrible. These Canon original batteries are really great. I have a G7 and have taken over 9000 photos with it. This is the second time I've had to replace the battery in 3 years. So the battery life for my type of moderately heavy usage is about a year and a half, or about 4500 photos. That's very good, considering the high demands of modern digital cameras on the batteries. When I first replaced the battery, the Canon battery lasted literally for months before even needing to be recharged. It was amazing. Then, after a few charges, each time it needed to be recharged sooner. Finally, you can tell the battery is reaching the end of its life when it needs to be recharged in as little as 3 or 4 days of use. Then one day, in the middle of using it - poof! it no longer works, and no longer can hold any charge at all. I've tried the generics, and they are only about $25, but they act from day one like this original battery acts after months of use. I got no more than a month's worth of use from a generic battery. Never again! Just my experience - but with heavy use, this Canon battery is a champ, and like the old cliche, you get what you pay for.

An excelent battery and it works as per specs. I am very pleased with it.Thank you to Amazon.com for an affordable price of purchace.

AT FIRST MY WIFE AND I WENT TO THE MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE COST OF THIS BATTERY WOULD BE $70.WE DECIDED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE.WE WENT TO AMAZON AND FOUND THE SAME BATTERY,STILL IN THE BOX FOR $30 LESS.NO BRAINSTORM NEEDED HERE. RECEIVED IT IN AMPLE TIME FOR MY DAUGHTERS B-DAY AND FOR X-MAS.THANKS AMAZON M.ROMANO

I have owned two Canon brand XTi camera batteries since 2006, when I purchased my Rebel XTi camera. I use the camera a LOT: I also do real estate photography in addition to my own photography. After heavy use, the batteries are only now starting to show their age. It is well worth the extra cost for the Canon brand.

At first this battery worked amazingly well, I would take a lot of pictures and not seem to dent it's charge. As a family camera, it did not see heavy use. Then after about 2 years it started to tank. More frequently it needed charging, then it would only last like 40 shots, then less, then it doesn't even run the camera. You might say I should be happy with 2 years, but I have a Kodak P&S digital camera with a built in NMIH battery that I bought in 2001 and its still got the original battery about 9 years later, and it works. I expected more by paying top dollar for Cannon.

I have only used this a few times and it pretty much does what it is supposed to do. It is a simple device and I would only have something negative to say if it was broken or the switch was stuck but none of those things have happened yet.

The remote works well for nature shots and allows pictures to be taken without shaking the camera. I didn't think it would work so well.

Other than the short prep time it takes to hook up the shutter release cord to the camera, everything is fairly simple and easy to use. The only thing that could make it better is if it was wireless.

These work just fine in My Canon XTi. Pretty good price. Patrick

I bought this so that I could use a "normal" camera at a water park we went to and it worked perfectly. No leaks, no weirdness.... did everything as advertised. :o)

A week before I purchased this camera case I didn't know such things existed. Today I returned home from Hawaii, and I'm looking over the wonderful photos and video we captured of our snorkeling trip, using our regular point-and-shoot (Canon SD870) thanks to this waterproof case. There were a number of people on the boat trip who had purchased a single-use underwater disposable camera for about the same price. They now have a roll of 20 pictures, whereas we have hundreds, and video (8G card in the camera). No water problems, easy set up, very reasonable price, super fast shipping-- a total winner! Quick hint: our Canon has an 'underwater' setting. Photos came out much more vibrant once we switched to that setting.

Considering the other waterproof case for my camera was $170 this was definitely a great alternative. I tested it out before I used it and it kept the paper dry. So i took on vacation with me and it was great. I even lost the camera once in the water and I was able to recover it because it floated. My only issue w/this product is thats it too big for my camera. so when you took pictures you had to make sure that the lens was centered in the plastic ring. or else you would get outlines of the camera ring in your pictures. also if you take a picture w/flash you have to struggle a bit to keep the lens centered and the flash light not covered by the case. its not the easiest waterproof case to use but once you get the hang of it, it works well. overall good product...GREAT PRICE

This thing was great! I was looking for a case to put my wife's powershot 7MP into on our honeymoon to Fiji and this meet all my needs. It is more affordable than a hard plastic custom case, but it still does the tasks those cases do. It kept water out the entire trip with not on drop of water seeking in over 5 days of use. The lens on it also allowed for very clear pictures as long as there were not water drops on it and you kept the camera lens centered properly. It also did a great job of keeping the sand out. The drawbacks were that you don't get a completely custom fit and the plastic can make it slightly difficult to operate some buttons like zoom, but what do you expect from something in this price range? make sure to place Silica packets inside just in case and let it stay open to dry out every night and it will work great for you.

My wife and I were looking for a reasonably priced option for taking underwater pictures while we were on vacation in Bora Bora. The fitted underwater camera cases are nice but were expensive. Since we did not see a recurring need for an underwater case we decided to try the Underwater Pouch for $29. It is not perfect, but it turned out some great underwater shots with our Canon Powershot. I would definately recommend this to anyone that did not want to invest in a underwater case.

I was going on a trip that would have snorkeling as one of the activities and I wanted to be able to take pictures underwater. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I settled on a case I could use for a small point and shoot camera, a Canon A570. This case proved to be easy to set up. To use the case, drop the camera in the case and seal it. There are triple seals to keep out water. The first is a zip lock type seal that is the main barrier against water entry. The end of the case is folded over and closed with a Velcro seal and the folded again with another Velcro seal. The seals worked and I did not have any water get inside the case. The case includes a strap and I hung the camera around my neck while snorkeling. There is sufficient air in the case such that it floats. Using the camera inside the case took some care. My camera has a lens that extends when the camera is turned on. If the lens is not centered over the extension in the case, it will hang and not extend fully when the camera is turned on. So the first step was always to center the lens with one hand and turn on the camera with the other. The camera can slide around in the case as there is nothing to fix it in position. The plastic case is heavy enough that I found it difficult to operate the zoom lever as it is located near the rolled up end of the case. Buttons are much easier to push, although it does take some effort. I did manage to take lots of pictures underwater and they turned out OK. At the widest zoom, the end of the case shows in the picture as a black ring. Once you are underwater and try to take pictures out of the water as well as underwater, drops of water remain on the lens part of the case and show up in pictures taken with the camera out of the water. All in all this case performed as expected and considering the price, it does a great job. If one is considering doing a lot of underwater photography, then a hard case might be a wise investment, but for a trip and casual use this is a useful item.

I was hesitant to trust this product with my digital camera but went snorkling with it twice and had no problem with leaking. I also took pictures from up high while parasailing which I wouldn't have done without it being waterproofed! My only complaint was that I couldn't use the zoom as the plastic prevented me from zooming back! I had some trouble adjusting to seeing the black circle in my viewfinder buyt once I realized I could just point slightly above the subject (fish) instead of lining them up in the usual manner, I did fine! And for those pictures that had the black cirle, I was able to crop it out!

Although this appears to be a very sturdy case, the color is not as shown in the picture for the Blue case. I got the case to match a blue camera and at first I thought I had received the wrong case as it looked black. When I put it in a brighter light, it appears to be a dark blue-more Navy blue than the brighter blue shown in the picture.

A must see if you plan on purchasing or have either of these Speedlites. I have watched sections more than a few times and some sections I have not watched yet until I purchase the 580EX II Speedlite. Excellent DVD.

It`s a perfect DVD, for those who want to understand better light in photography. I would recomend to anyone.

If you're hesitating to buy this DVD because you're wondering whether it would be worth it, since obviously the manual covers the basic features, don't hesitate at all. This is a terrific DVD for the inexperienced stobist using Canon EX flashes as well as someone who only occasionally uses them. What this DVD gives you is as close to "over the shoulder" instruction by someone who knows the Canon flash system inside and out. It provides a step-by-step intro to the Speedlite system, shows you how to set the various features on the 580EX-II and 430EX-II and leads you through clear and concise examples of planning a shoot and how best utilitize both ambient and flash lighting to obtain the best possible images. It's not as comprehensive as a complete lighting course but it is very thorough when it comes to the Canon system and the thought process behind various choices in a series of staged lighting situations. It is worth every penny of the $25 that I paid for it and I'll use it again and again.

If you are like me and dont like to read the manual, the Canon EOS 7D can be an experience that would make you read the manual, if this video guide had not been made. It is clear and well paced and takes you through the basics so that you can enjoy this great camera. Thank you Blue Crane.

The video was okay.. The beginning I feel was done quite well, but then as it progressed I felt more and more like it was being rushed and lacked sense in some areas. It definitely will help you if you feel overwhelmed by the 7D, but expect 25-30 minutes of unnecessary garbage and slow English, followed by 45 minutes of jumping around, making little sense, and using garbage references that don't clear your perception what so ever. I rated it a 4 because I feel it does what it says, but not a 5 because t begins to jump around and contains lots of unnecessary and confusing information.

The DVD instructions are a real "Running Start" for learning the basics of Canon 7D operation. This DVD has certainly flattened the learning curve. As someone who once used the Canon A1 and FD lenses, I am not a stranger to the SLR world of cameras. So this DVD served as a great introduction to the very different world of the Canon 7D DSLR. The video introduces, in plain English the basic functions of the 7D. It explains how many of the settings are "by touch". The narrator compares how a person can control a car by touch, and that the user of the 7D will eventually learn how to "drive" their camera like one drives a car. When viewing your DVD have a notebook, pen, owner's manual, and post-it colored tape tabs. I viewed it straight through, not stopping for the exercises. I then watched it again, jotting down notes and locating the relevant information in the instruction manual. I then performed the exercises. If the 7D is your first DSLR, purchase this DVD at the same time you purchase your 7D. You will be spared all sorts of frustration as you tackle the learning curve. I plan on purchasing Volume 2 in a few weeks.

I do not own this video yet, but if the "Pinpoint Focus with the Canon 7D" sample on YouTube is any indication, it was too hastily put together. It shows footage of a Canon 5D Mark II front, which does not even have the new focus system being discussed. Maybe we're supposed to think all cameras look alike :-)
