Canon STE2 Speedlite Transmitter for Canon 580EX II, 430EX, 430EX II Speedlites Order Now


I first bought this transmitter as an alternative to the pocket wizards. Most of the work I do with this transmitter is outdoors. Greats pretty good outdoors, even if both, the flash and the receiver are under direct sunlight (flash has fired every single time). Of course, since it is an infrared wireless trigger system, the only limitation you have is that the flash has to be in front or above the camera to be triggered. Outdoors, you have to be within a horizontal working distance of 10-15 feet, and you can be about 30 feet away from the flash within the horizontal working distance (although most of us, will be working within 12 feet of our subject). I would highly recommended. i even got to use it with an umbrella directly in front of the flash, and the flash could still be triggered without any problems.Get more detail about Canon STE2 Speedlite Transmitter for Canon 580EX II, 430EX, 430EX II Speedlites.

Low Price Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras


This lens is great for portraits. If you are not an expert photographer you may find there is a learning curve to this lense: If you trust everything to the default autofocus mode your results will be hit or miss, with many shots just a bit away from how you wanted them to focus. I have gotten good results using either the spot autofocusing mode or manual focusing mode to ensure that at least one of the subject's eyes is sharply focused.

The autofocus is slower than any other lens I have used and the depth of field is incredibly shallow so this is not for sports shooting or any other condition where you need to focus fast and/or track a rapidly moving subject. If you use it for such purposes you will be disappointed because most of your shots will be out of focus.Get more detail about Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras.

Save Canon VIXIA HF R10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder (Black) - 2010 MODEL


I bought this camera looking for a relatively inexpensive HD video camera which was easy to use. Having had a Canon video camera before I thought this was a good choice.

Positives:
1) lightweight
2) simple controls
3) good microphone sensitivity

Negatives:
1) Video quality is poor in dim/indoor light, very grainy and occasionally it wouldn't focus correctly in dim light conditions
2) Turns out video is NOT 1080. That is, rather than shooting video in 1920x1080, it shoots at 1664x936 and upconverts from there.
3) Still picture quality leaves a lot to be desired. Very grainy and not focused

This is a very basic and simple camera. It shoots good video outdoors and in very good indoor lighting, otherwise image is grainy and occasionally poorly focused. Although you don't buy a camcorder for its still picture quality, this camera forced me to carry a dedicated still picture camera. Overall, at first glance it seems like a good option, but after trying it for a couple of days I decided to return it and go for the HF 200. It is $150 more, but it delivers where it matters most. It has better picture quality, images are better focused, it has better image stabilization and improved quality in indoor light. The still shots are considerably better as well.Get more detail about Canon VIXIA HF R10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder (Black) - 2010 MODEL.

Cheapest Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss, 13 x 19 Inches, 20 Sheets (1686B031)


First, the surface of this paper is shiny, but not sticky, and will not smear. It produces prints every bit as good as any laboratory (and in most cases, better, because you do the pre-production).

Second, Canon had a two-fer deal on their site, so I scooped up what I could afford of this topnotch paper at very reasonable prices. I also bought a bunch from Amazon.

Used with the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MkII printer, this paper sets a new standard for home/office/studio printing. I am a pro photographer, but it's not my only source of income. I run a small home studio and feel confident that the prints I sell equal or exceed the quality available anywhere else.

Buying Canon ES-62 Lens Hood for EF 50mm f/1.8 II (w/ hood adapter 62)


Pros:

- It's a hood
- The adapter ring is of nice construction

Cons:

- Expensive for just a hood!
- The hood itself (that clips onto the adapter ring) feels a little on the cheap side with the way the plastic clips onto the adapter ring
- I don't have huge fingers, but it's difficult for me to get my fingers in there to manually focus my Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens.

Overall:

A necessary evil. I think I was able to swallow the steep price for this because I just thought about how much I invested in the camera, memory cards, lenses, bags, etc. and this seemed negligible :PGet more detail about Canon ES-62 Lens Hood for EF 50mm f/1.8 II (w/ hood adapter 62).

Buy Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR's


Is a great all around lens for a 1.6 sensor.
It took decent pictures but nothing that will take your breath away.
It's a great kit lense replacement.
My aperture ring is now stuck. after more than a year and around 20k shot's

I'm not satisfied with that failure so soon.
I always take good care of all my equipment, the camera has at least twice that amount of shots (xti) and is working great with the 18-55
A camera failure at this point, will be more close to failure (getting to 50k shot's) but not a lens, or not this one at least.Get more detail about Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR's.

Where To Buy Canon Faxphone L90 Laser Fax and Printer (2234B007AA)


I've been long time user of laser printers, but this is my first all-in-one laser printer. It works good as laser printer and copy machine but disapointed in fax. It produces nice print very fast as printer and copier. So far so good! However, I've a serious issues in fax. First problem is ring volume not adjustable, even after 0(my intention was turn off) setting, still ringing so loud. Second issue is fax speed not adjustable. I use a MagicJack for my house phone line that uses VoIP. MagicJack surgested to use slowest speed for faxing over VoIP. I've exchanged few emails with Canon tech support but the customer service person was not knowledgeble. I've gave up on them. In conclusion, it's good laser copier and printer for the money if you don't mind loud ringing. :-(Get more detail about Canon Faxphone L90 Laser Fax and Printer (2234B007AA).
