Customer Review: Inaccurate Product Description
The product description for this product specifies that they are Pro Power batteries. However the batteries that you get will be of any random generic make so these reviews are meaningless. While one particular generic brand of batteries may be good, another might be lousy. Even though the Amazon product description is for Pro Power batteries with the following specs:
* Utilizes BSP Technology: Surge Protection, Thermal Cut-off, Overload Protection, Guards against short circuits
* No Memory effect - Recharge at any time
the batteries you get may or may not meet these specs. Additionally, having researched these batteries on the web, the Pro Power ones come with a 3YR warranty (as well as the gold contacts) which the other generics ones do not. I called three of the seller on the Amazon webpage offering these batteries. None of them were selling the Pro Power brand as the product description states. The batteries may be good or not. Who knows?Pro Power CANON NB-1LH ( NB-1L ) Li-Ion Equivalent Battery - 2 PACK for Select Digital IXUS / PowerShot Digital Photo Camera ** Includes Mini Table Top Tripod **

Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Digital SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras A thoroughly modern design that’s optimized for select Canon EOS digital SLRs. Its angle of view is equivalent to a 96mm lens on a 35mm camera, with a floating optical system that can focus down to full life-size (1: 1) magnification. Inner focusing, driven by a silent and powerful ring-type USM, means the lens’ overall length never changes during focus. This lens is a wonderful multi-purpose lens that’s equally at home shooting macro shots, portraits or available-light photos.
Customer Review: Great macro lens!
I got this lens cheap on auction site (you know where). I used it with my XTi, and the difference between this baby and the kit 18-55 is huge! Image by the kit lens is dark and grainy, the color is so off. This 60mm creates very nice bokeh, great for outdoor. I took some very nice raindrop pictures. I don’t know how better L lenses are, but for normal Joe like me, this lens is definitely the keeper and well worth the price.
Customer Review: Great macro lens
As a beginner photographer I hesitated to spend the money on this lens, but am very glad I did. It does just what I want it to do and the images turn out great. I would recommend this lens to anyone interested in a macro from Canon.

Canon PSC-1000 Deluxe Blue Leather Case for the Canon SD1000 and SD770IS Digital Cameras Canon PSC-1000 Deluxe Blue Leather Case for SD1100IS/SD1000/SD750 Digital Camera
Take your PowerShot wherever you go. Semi-Hard Leather Case designed specifically for the SD1100IS/SD1000/SD750 for added protection.
Customer Review: Excellent case for the Canon camera
I bought this to go with my wife’s new Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue). The camera fits perfectly in it and has a magnetic flap that keeps the flap securely in place. While it adds to the bulk of the camera, it’s a small price to pay to keep the camera safe. It’s definitely a must add-on for the Canon camera.
Customer Review: STINKS!
This case had a terrible odor to it when I opened the package. It looks nice and I assume it would fit the camera well, but I never tried it because of the terrible stink! I even left it sitting out on a protected porch for a few days, but the odor never went away. Look for something else - I found a nice case by Case Logic that not only holds the camera but also holds a memory card & battery and is still very small (but not blue unfortunately).

Canon TC-DC58B Tele Converter Lens for S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera Bring those far away subjects in close. The TC-DC58B converts the focal length of the body lens by a factor of approximately 1.5 (35 mm film equivalent at maximum telephoto: approximately 648 mm) when attached. The TCDC58B Telephoto Lens Converter screws into the front of the S2 IS’s existing lens to provide greater magnification (1.5x), for those times when you are shooting distant subjects that you do not want to disturb, such as children, pets, or wildlife.
Customer Review: Warning! May not be what you expect.
I just received the Canon TC-DC58B and put it to the test. I took non-digital zoom shots, at full magnification, with and without the converter and was instantly disappointed. What disappointed me was that the extra magnification I got was a lot less than I expected. There was little difference in the two shots. In fact, I could get the same magnification by minimally employing the digital zoom feature. I am going to Alaska for the first time soon and was hoping the lens would help me get up close and personal with nature. I doubt it will get me much closer at all. I’ve read through the reveiws and would agree with the quality of the lens, etc. I don’t see where those who rated this a 4 or 5 even mentioned the fact that you will not get much closer with this lens. I don’t like spending over a $100 for something and being left with the feeling that I did not get much bang for my buck. Beware and think twice about buying this. Don’t expect a lot.
Customer Review: Much better that cheaper telephoto lenses
I purchased this lens for my S2IS. The biggest difference is the drastic reduction in purple fringing that I have seen with a non-canon teleconverter lens (purchased by a friend) for his S2IS. Good quality and good material.

Customer Review: offers more than expected!
I bought this camera after having an older Kodak 4 mega pixel. I was happy with my Kodak other than it being dropped too many times. This little camera is well worth the $130! It takes awesome photos and has video as well! We didnt realize this when we bought it, so it was a nice bonus for us! It seems easy to understand and view photos. I would get this one again! I used it to take my daughter’s 5 yr. photo and am happier with them than when I took her to a prof. photographer!
Customer Review: Great Camera For The Price
Bought this camera to replace one I had that I dropped. I originally had a Canon A570, and loved it. So this time I decided to go with something a little more compact. Recieved this camera yesterday and I am very happy with it so far. Takes great pictures and good video. Its small enough to fit into my purse if need be, and I can still get the great quality from a Canon that I expect. No problems with battery life, but I do use the lithium battery in my camera, so I expect none. Would recommend this camera to anyone.

Great lens - does everything that’s advertised. I’m a beginner and am just learning to get my camera off auto, but this lens has taken some great pics so far
It’s much heavier than the kit lens and a ton heavier than my 50mm, but it does have a good zoom. It focuses quickly too.

I just used this case on a recent trip to the Dominican Republic and St. Martin - where I scuba dived and snorkeled. Between the video and still pictures, I was able to capture a lot of great memories. The case/camera has really spoiled me…it’s hard to go scuba/snorkeling without it now!

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras To meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens, Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture of f/2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras. The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM, inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing, manually adjusting the focus is possibleeven in AF mode.
Customer Review: My reasons for purchasing this lens and why I like it
I’m a 40D owner, who, like many of you, had a hard time deciding between this lens and the 24-70 2.8 L lens. Reading the “reviews” didn’t help me much. In fact, the “reviews” just made me unsure about which was the “right” lens to get. So, I rented both lenses to see it for myself. As I expected, the build quality of the “L” lens was noticeably better and I think many guys get their egos boosted with that red ring around the lens. Besides from the build quality, I think many of the other aspects of the lens such as contrast and sharpness, are quite subjective. I took 8 pictures of a “scene” with each lens, obviously with the same camera/lens settings. Pictures were taken from 6 different locations, at different times of the day. I then looked at the pictures on a Macbook Pro WITHOUT looking at the information on which lens they were shot with. This way, I can put aside my preconceived notions about which pictures are supposed to look better. From each scene, I selected the one I liked the best. Out of the 6 locations, I ended up selecting 3 from the 17-55mm and 3 from 24-70mm. What I learned from my approach was I was happy with the picture quality of both lenses. It all came down to the price–since I don’t have a full frame sensor DSLR like the 5D, I decided to make best use of my 40D with the 17-55 lens. I do plan to upgrade my camera with a full-frame sensor camera. So, why did I buy this knowing that it wouldn’t work on my upgraded camera? If I were to upgrade to a full frame sensor camera within a year, it would make sense to get the 24-70 lens. But, I plan to use the 40D for at least 4-5 years before upgrading. However, I think it makes a big difference to actually have the wide end that 24-70mm cannot provide for the 40D. For me, it was the wide-end capability that sold me the lens. If I were to get better lenses that would withstand the time better and at the same time allow me to get wide-end I needed, I would have had to spend 3 times as much getting the 16-35 (L) and 24-70 (L). Since my budget is limited, I believe I’ve made the right decision. AND..I am loving this lens.
Customer Review: Fabulous lens!
Super sharp and gorgeous color and contrast….L-glass quality….so much better than the 24-105 because it’s lighter and a reasonable size for a 2.8 lens. Seems very well designed for the 1.6 crop cameras. Image stabilization is icing on the cake. Love it!

Sigma AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS (Optical Stabilizer) Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras The Sigma 18-200 F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Lens incorporates an Optical Stabilizer function and is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. It is perfectly suitable for low light conditions whether indoors, at dusk, or in telephoto range. This system uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical and horizontal movement of the camera by moving an optical image stabilizing lens group, to effectively compensate for camera shake. It also automatically detects panning movement of the camera and compensates for camera shake when shooting moving subjects such as motor sports. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass and aspherical glass provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7″) throughout the entire zoom range and has a maximum magnification of 1:3.9. Since the inner focusing system means the front of the lens does not rotate, optional circular polarizing filters and the supplied petal-type hood can easily be used. A magnification scale is displayed on the lens barrel, ensuring ease of use. A zoom-lock switch mechanism is provided to prevent the lens from creeping due to its own weight. 69.3 - 7.1 degrees (Sigma SD format) angle of view 7 Diaphragm Blades F22 Minimum Aperture 45cm / 17.7 Minimum Focusing Distance 1 - 3.9 Maximum Magnification Petal Lens Hood Dimensions - Diameter 79mm x Length 100mm Weight - 21.5 ounces (610 grams)
Customer Review: Good lens for the money
I buy many products based upon reviews from other users. That is also the case with this lens. I bought my Nikon D40 about 3 months ago (after 10 years of using point and shoots, including my treasured Canon S2is super zoom), with the kit 18-55mm lens, plus I bought a Nikon 55-200mm VR lens. I love the VR lens, but traveling through Europe for 2 1/2 weeks proved to me that I HATE changing lenses. It’s inconvenient and potentially contaminates the inside of the camera body. So, I started looking around at something that I could use as a single walk-around lens. I love the wide angle perspective of the 18mm end, plus needed at least 200mm for the wide end. I liked the idea of Tamron’s 18-250mm, but it’s not image stabilized, which is really essential at the telephoto end. So, back to the Sigma. I read Camera Labs review of the non-stabilized Sigma 18-200mm, and it was favorable. So, I figured that the new stabilized version would be at least as good, and probably better.
