Customer Review: 45X not so professional
I was looking for a wide angle lens to photograph rooms of a house for a web site and order this item along with a fish eye lens. The “Professional” 45 X wide angle lens was a disappointment. It is very small and attaches onto the end of your camera’s lens. It does this with a adhesive ring that sticks to your existing camera lens. The adhesive ring has a magnetic side that then holds on the lens. Not a real secure set up that will become less so over time. I would wonder what might happen to the adhesive it the camera was left in a hot car for a while. But if you are looking for a wide angle for occasional use - pop it on, take a photo or two and pop it off, I guess it is OK. The wide angle view through the lens is good and clear. Since it is attached to the end of the lens you never get an edge or a tunnel view. It provides about 1/3 wider angle then the lens on the camera. Which is considerably wider. There is no distortion. I found the fish-eye better suited for my purposes. It mounts securely with an adapter, that mechanically connects it to the camera. Using the zoom on the camera you can go much wider then the 45x. However you get only a little wider before you pick up an edge. At the extreme with the fish eye you get tunnel view and distortion. But, you are in control of this with your zoom. I found for interior room photos the fish eye was more effective.

Customer Review: PCB Assembly needed to be replaced after 3 months
We’re Not happy with this camera. My first Canon camera was a S400. After 8 years of use, it needed a repair which was a known defect so Canon covered all shipping and repair costs. We purchased the SD880IS in February 2009 and the “PCB Assembly was inoperative” 3 months later. We hardly even used it! We used the camera heavily for 3.5 days out of those 3 months before it broke. Very disappointing. Don’t Buy! Don’t Buy!
Customer Review: My SD 880 IS is superb!
I have read the negative reviews of the SD 880 IS and can only conclude that there must have been a small batch of cameras that were defective since the majority of evaluations were positive. I have owned a number of Canons and they have been excellent. I have had the 880 since last November when I passed my SD 870 IS down to my son. I wanted the new features and they have proved very beneficial. The picture quality, especially sharpness and color saturation, are exceptional especially when enlarging to letter sized prints. I recommended this camera to a friend of mine and unfortunately he had the “black screen” experience mentioned in one of the negative reviews. Before the problem, however, he took over 800 really beautiful pictures in Egypt, Jordan and the Holy Land. I hope Canon rectifies the defects in manufacturing as I am a big supporter of these wonderful little cameras.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Lens + Canon SLR Camera Case + Accessory Kit for Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, T1i, EOS 30D, 40D & 50D Digital SLR Cameras
Kit Includes:
♦ 1) Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Lens
♦ 2) Canon Deluxe SLR Camera Case
♦ 3) Precision Design ET-60 Lens Hood
♦ 4) Precision Design Deluxe 6-Piece Lens & Digital SLR Camera Cleaning Kit
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS telephoto Zoom Lens is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon’s 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.
Made from rugged, water-repellant Nylon, and outfitted with a non-slip reinforced handle, this compartment case will easily hold your camera, lenses, flash, and accessories. A mesh pocket inside the top flap provides for easy access to film, memory cards or batteries. A large zipper pocket inside the front flap protects filters, pens, cleaning supplies, and lens caps.
The Precision Design ET-60 Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of extra impact protection.
This 6-piece cleaning kit contains a hurricane air blower, Lens Cleaning Tissue, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.

Customer Review: Great Investment
I was skeptical at first about paying so much for something I would use probably so little. You have to keep in mind, how much was your camera? Are you willing to gamble an inferior product to the safety of your camera investment just to save a few bucks? My camera is worth what I paid for and this will protect it from the water, sand (most people don’t think the blowing sand getting in nooks and crannies,not to mention salt water mist!), or just any outdoor environment. I have also read some reviews that you can NOT change modes once the case is on. ****** IF YOU READ YOUR MANUAL YOU WOULD KNOW THIS IS POSSIBLE!!!***** Just hold the print button, while pressing the left or right on the ’scroll wheel’ buttons. Works perfectly. I love this product and recommend for anyone with the cameras that fit these. I also got to witness before, during, and after with this case and other cases from cheaper price points from a recent diving trip. This one hands down.
Customer Review: High quality UW case offers full camera functionality
This impressive underwater camera case has optical quality plate glass for the lens. All of the camera’s buttons, switches and functions can be accessed via good-sized buttons. It also comes with a clip-on transluscent flash diffuser which works nicely above and under water.

If you prefer the dividers may be removed for use as a general purpose protective backpack. Most laptops up to 11″ x 2″ x 15″ are protected in a separate, completely foam-padded compartment. A thickly padded shoulder harness, hip belt and sternum strap distributes the weight for carrying comfort. In front, Tamrac’s QuickClip tripod attachment system secures most tripods.

Ordered the Opteka Wireless Radio remote release from 47th Street Photo. I was notified that UPS had received shipping notification from 47th Street Photo. I did not receive my order by the promised shipping date. Email 47th Street Photo no response. Had to notify Amazon about the order and they canceled the order. No service!
Customer Review: Exactly what I ordered
Item was exactly as ordered, shipped on time and received well before Christmas. My hubby was very surprised that I listened to him closely enough to order this LOL.
