Camera-Accessories Reviews

Play with more lenses. Get the ring. It's easy to put on. I like it.

...I took a chance that this was the same product that I saw on the Olympus web site (Olympus part number 200860) and ordered it, and it is. It contains the following items:

1 - Camera bag - this padded bag features a shoulder strap and outside zippered pocket for storage of additional cards or batteries. Width 4.5" x Height 6" x Depth 3.0"
2 - 4 AA Ni-MH (1700 mah) batteries with overnight battery charger
3 - xD/SmartMedia USB Reader/Writer
4 - CAMEDIA 4.0 Pro software

For <... this is a pretty good deal, as many places will charge more than half this amount for the NiMH batteries and charger. Additionally, since my Olympus camera didn't come with a bag, this package makes even more sense.

The USB Smartmedia reader means that I don't have to turn the camera on to read the Smartmedia cards, which will be nice.

...So, if you just bought (or are buying) an Olympus digital camera, you should consider this item. The price is great and you'll need everything in it, anyways.

Received lens in new condition in a timely fashion. Pleased with purchase.

...even under light-polluted skies. Faint star limits are noticeably increased. Head strap could be a little more secure. Other than that, they are highly recommended.

This is the best 2X Barlow on the market for the price. What makes it better is it uses 3 lenses instead of the normal 2. I am using with with my Meade ETX-125 with UHTC coating. I would say it would work well with any 1.25" eyepiece telescope.

I have a 28-300mm zoom lens, but wanted a little more for those rare, non-serious, pictures at the beach on a sunny day. Since something like this would not be used that often, I clearly didn't want to spend a lot of money.

This teleconverter is built as well as any name-brand model I've owned in the past and has worked as expected. Like any teleconverter, it will not auto-focus with a slower lens except on the very brightest days, but should do so with a faster lens. I've had no problem whatsoever using it with the manual focus mode of my Maxxum 7 (the focus indicator in the viewfinder displays proper focus).

The pictures I've taken are acceptable. I've seen no serious distortion or loss of detail. With the lens I'm using (basically a 600mm with the teleconverter), a solid tripod is a must.

If your intentions are similar to mine, I recommend this product. Of course, if you want the very best (auto-focus under any conditions and so on), you probably should be looking at an expensive telephoto lens instead of a teleconverter.

This thing is amazing! A friend let me borrow his on a stargazing trip, and I had never heard of one. I had a pair of expensive binoculars I had resigned to having spots and tarnishes on the objective and eyepiece lenses. I of course thought this was some gimmick that my friend had been taken for $10 over. Was I ever wrong! It completely polished all four glass surfaces, rendering them all back to the nice deep purple-green tint I was used to seeing on my brand new binoculars way back when I had bought them. I had tried everything from lens cloths to cotton swabs to get them clean before, and what I thought were permanent disfigurations of either the glass or the light-transmission coatings, they were instantly removed!! My lens surfaces are completely spotless and look brand new. I will never be without a couple of these in my astronomy bag. I hope someone is making several million dollars off this innovation; they deserve it.

This is a 5++ Star Rating item.

Good quality product. Works faster than any reader. Readers are painful to carry, plug etc.

This is a quite a solution. If you can afford another memory other than the one in your dig cam, this can act as your backup hardrive for important files. that;s how useful this is !!!!

this is a good kit for the p100. Its such a good deal because you are gonna buy an extra battery anyway so you might as well buy a kit that has that plus a case and memory stick wallet. i like this case is better than the leather ones. it holds a lot and i feel secure carrying this around.

These items SHOULD be included with all DSCX31 Sony cameras, but they're not, so this must be your first purchase after buying your camera.

The case is an attractive black "fake" leather with some heavy duty padding. It fits your camera body's form quite well and protects the fragile screen and lens assemblies.

The battery charger is a rapid charger which will recharge a set MUCH faster than the standard unit included with your camera. We're talking a charge time savings of several hours, so this is an invaluble item to have, particulary if you use your camera a lot.

Also included is a spare set of Stamina batteries. Since one set came with your camera, this extra set is great in that you can always have a charged set of batteries ready to go at all times.

Given the fact that Sony doesn't include a protective cover/case for your camera out of the box, this purchase is a wise one, particularly since the LCD screens on the cameras are completely exposed and prone to scratching. Highly recommended.
