An excellent machine, especially for the price. vacuums extremely well, even seems self-propelled, has all necessary attachments. would have bought two if i thought i’d live that long.
Canon FX1 Black Toner

This is a good, affordable UV filter for protecting your expensive lenses. I leave it on my lens all the time. This particular filter (L-39 Sharp Cut) is especially good for wide angle lenses (< 24mm focal length), because of its ultrathin profile, which prevents vignetting. I have used regular filters on wide angle lenses, with very bad results. Although this filter is NOT multi-coated, I have not found it to be a big deal in the pictures I've taken. Multi-coated UV filters can cost 2x or 3x the price of this one, which I don't think is worthwhile. All in all, I recommend this filter for Canon or non-Canon lenses.
Canon 77mm UV Haze

After 1.5 years in the market, garnering a series of awards and praises, Digital Rebel XT (aka EOS 350D) has been replaced by Digital Rebel XTi (aka EOS 400D). For about one to two hundred dollars more, XTi offers some compelling benefits, such as:
- New 3-point ultrasound dust removal system that cleans image sensor area; included software maps dust stuck in low pass area and electronically masks them.
- 10.1 MP APS-C CMOS image sensor (3888 by 2592) vs. 8 MP (3456 by 2304) that improves resolution by 20% while maintaining dynamic range and noise level.
- Faster image processing. In continuous shooting mode, it captures the same 3 frames per second but up to 27 JPEG or 10 RAW vs. 14 JPEG or 4 RAW.
- Significantly improved 9-point TTL auto focus from EOS 30D vs. 7-point.
- Brighter 2.5″ 230,000 pixel LCD vs. 1.8″ 115,000 pixel LCD.
- Updated user interface.
- Picture styles and RGB histogram.
- More durable leathery paint finish.

Of course, there are some losses, too. Most notably, XTi eschews dedicated LCD info display (integrated into main LCD now) and yields lower battery life (500 vs. 600 shots).

All that worth extra dough? If all you want is to take great photos for less money, XT is still a great camera. I’ve used XT for almost a year now and it’s capable of some amazing pictures, provided you use better than the crummy kit lens (although kit lens can be an affordable intro to the world of DSLR). If you can stretch your budget, XTi operates significantly faster with much nicer auto focus system. Higher resolution sensor, larger LCD with enhanced UI, and self image sensor cleaning system can be very beneficial to many as well.
Canon Digital Rebel XT

Crystal clear shots (Canon 40D), amazing AF speed, superb at low-light.

There is a price for perfection though – heavy as a bag of bricks.
Canon EF 70 200mm

Anyone considering this lens already knows its attributes from the normal photography equipment web sites and/or magazines, so there’s nothing new to say about that. All I can say is that my experience with it so far is exactly what I expected – this is one of the world’s very best lenses.
Canon EF 200mm f

I bought this vacuum to use while I looked into replacing my expensive bagless model with another. After using it a few times, I realized it was all I needed – it’s lightweight with great suction power, and changing the bag is no big deal. In fact, it’s a lot less messy; who decided bagless vacs were such a great idea, anyway? I’ll never go back to bagless again!
3 Pack Canon 0264B001AA

I bought this lens to take some close-up shots of stationary items under low to moderate light environments. It is utterly useless for that application. The lens blocks the flash and you get a dark photo with a near-black 40% swatch in the lower right of the frame. It may be useful for those who plan to use it outdoors or in bright light situations, but if you’re looking to take close-ups indoors, save your money.
Canon TCDC10 Tele Converter

I purchased a transcend 8 GB flash card for my new leica. I hate it it totally sucks. I lost two days of pictures one of a newborn baby camel. It just took a dump the pictures where recorded but it lost everything1 I would never trust anything from this company again. This has never happened to me i have used many other brands with much success all over the world. This one is GARBAGE
Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS

This is a must read. For a not too often reader, I couldn’t put this book down.
Very well written. Hope she writes some more books since this is her first one.
Canon 1552B001 Roller Case

This series was one that was always on my recommended list and for ages I set it to the side and read on with other authors, content that I wasn’t missing much. After seeing it for sale for a few dollars in a bargain bin at the book store I picked it up thinking that even for a few dollars it can’t be that bad. I regret now that I didn’t pick this series up as soon as it came out! The wit and humor of this story and its fellow’s blew me away and becoming close to the characters is unavoidable. Mr. Colfer creates a world full of mystery, intrigue, danger, excitement, humor, love and companionship. I would have paid much, much more for this book had I known what I was missing. I highly advise anyone looking for a great read and a wonderful story to pick up this series and make time to read it cause you won’t be able to put it down.
