Canon VIXIA HF M31 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder - 2010 MODEL Get it now!


If we are talking about digital camcorders this is first one. Very light, small, but this you can tell about any of new camcorders like that. Touch screen is cool and useful, but maybe people with very big fingers have to try it first somewhere before buy thru internet. 32 gb memory is great!
Canon provides some program (for PC) to work with videos, but right now I m using Mac's iMovie and iDVD. Somebody had a problems with watching movie in HD. My laptop is pretty new, so I don't have any problems.Get more detail about Canon VIXIA HF M31 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder - 2010 MODEL.

Canon 200DG Digital Camera Gadget Bag (Black) Buy Now


Great bag! The only down side is I wish it had zippers to close the top rather than velcro.Get more detail about Canon 200DG Digital Camera Gadget Bag (Black).

Canon Deluxe Gadget Bag 100EG Order Now


This is a nice, sturdy, bag. I like the metal clip; I like that its sturdy; I like the inserts to help provide protection.
That said, it is small as so many others have noted. I just barely squeeze my Canon 50D in, and nothing else in the main compartment. I had to lay the inserts down and set my camera on top of them as there was no room to have any of them upright. My instruction manual fits in the top zipper in the main compartment, without zipping shut though. The small front compartment holds my battery charger and some other very small miscellaneous items. Nothing else would fit in here. It holds what I need it to hold and keeps it protected so thats what matters. Its a tight squeeze getting the camera in but it works. My camera has its attached lens of course; there is no way another lens or anything else would fit. Overall its a good product for a good price so long as you are aware of the size and okay with that.Get more detail about Canon Deluxe Gadget Bag 100EG.

Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black) Decide Now


I love my new Canon EOS Xsi. With the new SLR, it was curious that the new 3" screen was showing you the camera settings rather than the image you were shooting, like with point and shoot cameras. Only with "Live View" will you see the images on the screen as you photograph. It doesn't matter. Since it's a SLR, you view your shot through the viewfinder, which has elaborate information you can see. Frankly, the screen on point and shoot cameras were impossible to see and you could never tell what you were getting on them anyway. The SLR lets you know exactly what you are getting by looking through the lens that is taking the shot.

I got a great deal on my 12.2 mpx EOS at Amazon, and I would urge anyone looking for a more serious camera than a point-and-shoot should jump in and make the plunge with this very excellent DSLR.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras Right now


I have used this lens for 3 to 4 months now, I shoot almost every weekend at show jumping events (equestrian competitions) and I am VERY happy with the lens. I have improved the sharpness of my photos significantly and since I use a monopod, I simply do NOT need the IS feature,
This lens is LIGHT, sharp and fast at servo AF mode, I just can't think of a negative comment regarding this lens. I use a 1.4x Kenko ring too ($100 less than the Canon version) and even though that brings this lens to a 5.6 max. aperture, I can still shoot great, sharp pictures @ 1/1250 shutter speed in a foggy day with my humble Rebel XSI body (well, with some "manageable" noise @ 800 ISO, I agree...)
Bottom line, I would buy it again if I had to choose for a LIGHT, fast and sharp lens, while keeping an eye (or two) on my wallet...Get more detail about Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras.

Lowest Price Canon PowerShot SD1300IS 12 MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Green)


I purchased this camera because I already own an ELPH from 2007 that I wanted to replace before an upcoming trip. I loved that camera, the SD800IS. The SD1300IS was such a disappointment, however.

I took the camera to a wedding the first weekend I had it, excited to capture pictures of family and festivities. Half of the pictures, in more than adequate light, were totally out of focus. The entire picture came out blurry; it wasn't that the autofocus focused on the wrong area of the picture. Several shots in several different situations (lighting-wise) turned out this way, so my frustration isn't that it just goofed up one time. It was impossible to tell this from the LCD screen after capture; only when I viewed the picture full-size on my computer did I notice the mishap. I realize this is not a top-of-the line camera, and a point and shoot... but I expect better from Canon. This camera isn't the cheapest on the market, either. I feel like maybe Canon cheaped out a little bit in order to release this camera model at a lower price than last year's model, the SD1200 IS, which they released at $239. My previous Canon camera didn't have these problems.

The location of the flash in this model must be slightly different from other models. Everytime someone else took a picture for me, and I mean EVERYTIME, the shot had to be retaken because that person had their finger over the flash. I never had this problem with my other ELPH, so I figure it must be in a slightly different place (this camera is a bit smaller than the SD800 IS, so maybe this is why).

Overall, this camera did take some great shots. However, the proportion of totally unusable, awful shots was too high for a brand new camera. I returned it (thanks to Amazon's great return policy) and am now trying out the SX20IS. It's a much bigger camera, but so far I haven't had the focus and exposure issues that i had with the SD1300 IS.

Discount Canon PowerShot SD3500IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 3.5-Inch Touch Panel LCD and 5x Ultra Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)


I think the camera takes excellent pictures and has great zoom, it just is that the touch screen still hasn't fully progressed. I think that the next touch screen design will be better. Canon is just starting to understand how to incorporate a touch screen into camera use.Get more detail about Canon PowerShot SD3500IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 3.5-Inch Touch Panel LCD and 5x Ultra Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black).

Cheapest Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras


I am so disappointed. I used this lens for about 5,000 shots over the past couple of months while travelling. Great while it worked !! The lens (and all my equipment)is treated with kid gloves. This lens has a design flaw with its locking mechanism. I am in Greece at moment with a jammed lens because the locking mechanism broke (you can hear the parts rattling around inside the lens). A search of the internet shows this to be a too-common problem. I unfortunately also bought my daughter this lens. I have told her NOT to use the locking mechanism on the camera because it is a time-bomb. It appears that the repair for this is typically about $150 (not covered by warranty -naturally). I have seen reviews on other sites where some users have had this problem happen more than once (always the locking mechanism)! Until there is a design change you are taking a gamble with this lens. I will likely sell it as I need something reliable.Get more detail about Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras.

Buying Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras


Arguably the best Canon walk-around lens for the money if you're not buying "L" series gear. The USM system is fast and quiet, the full-time manual focus is very helpful when re-selecting a macro target, and the image stabilizer makes for better hand-held shots at slow shutter speeds. The physical construction has only one flaw: The lens is heavy, and much of the weight is concentrated in the front element, meaning that accidental telescoping will occur once the mechanism loosens up with use. That's a "when", not "if", so expect it to happen eventually.

That issue aside, it has very good image quality, offers as much zoom range as any hobby or pro-sumer photographer could reasonably demand in one lens assembly, and even produces usable macro shots down to around 1:3 magnification, and possibly 1:2 at long zoom lengths in good light. This is an EF lens, so the 1.6x crop factor on APS-C bodies (pretty much any Canon dSLR except for the 1Ds and 5D series) will limit the effective field of view at 45-216mm, even though the curvature and depth of field will still be 28-135mm equivalents. That's a little narrow on the low end, so the EF-S 15-85mm IS USM lens and EF-S 17-55 IS USM lens should definitely be considered by all APS-C owners before making the final purchase decision, but most shooters won't have any problems with this lens.

The lens has a 72mm filter adapter, so good-quality filters (particularly 72mm circular polarizers) will be fairly pricey. Buyers should budget around $50-75 for a decent circular polarizer and a UV filter/lens protector. Search "72mm filter" on Amazon to see a good selection.

Final note: Don't be fooled by Amazon's ongoing policy of deceptive list prices for SLR gear, which they would never charge and no sane person would ever pay. As I write, Amazon is showing a crossed-out $753.77 as the List Price for this lens, while the inflated MSRP on Canon's own US website is $479.99. Amazon's current "real" price of $359.99 is very competitive, but it is not a "52% savings". I'm disappointed that Amazon's marketing department has so little respect for their customers, but their customer service quality remains excellent, so buy with confidence -- just be sure you know your fair market value prices before clicking through.Get more detail about Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras.
