Customer Review: Battery grips rock!
Since buying this I have upgraded cameras but if you are a DSLR user and use the camera in portrait mode even 25% of the time, get a battery grip. I currently own a 1D camera so it has a battery grip built into it.
I highly recommend this for the 5D.
Customer Review: Love it!
I can go days without charging a battery, and on multiple photo shoots. This really provides an added convenience, and I would highly recommend it.

Customer Review: good construct but small
This is a very well constructed bag but if you plan on carrying more than one camera and lens set-up; you’ll need a bigger bag. I have a Canon XSI with 18-55 lens and a 75-300 lens that just barely fit without any extra needed gear. Go with the bigger bag.
Customer Review: High Quality Bag - For Traveling Light
We had the benefit of looking at this bag at a Department store before buying it. It is made very well with strong, bigger than average zippers and is well padded. The material is thicker than most gadget bags and it is nice looking. We originally purchased it for our Canon S5 and it was perfect for a camera that size. I recently upgraded to a DSLR and I am able to get my Canon XSI, 18-55mm lens, a few filters, cleaning pen and battery in it with no problem. If you have more than one lens or more gadgets you like to travel with I would suggest upgrading to another bag. I am already in the market for a bigger bag as I have some gadget purchases in mind. However, if you are traveling light this bag is stylish and sufficient. We love it!

Canon EW63II Lens Hood for EF 28 f/1.8, 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 & 28-105 f/4.0-5.6 SLR Lens Hoods are one of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality; in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens; and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.
Customer Review: a little expensive, but worth it!
This lens hood is very well made, but a little expensive. It is worth it in the long run because it protects your lens from accidental dings and absorbs shock. The inside of the hood is lined with black felted material that helps absorb unwanted light.
Pros: felted interior, high quality
Cons: costlier than other brands
Customer Review: Lens Hood
I was recommended this from a professional photographer that said for outside photography, a lens hood is your best investment. Designed well and does the trick.

Customer Review: Saves Time for Uploading
Works as advertised and it saves you time in uploading large photos and video files.
Customer Review: Great speed
Excellent product. Works as advertised. I bought it to download images from my CF card from my Nikon D300. I get a download speed of about 30MB/sec when directly downloading to the computer. That’s about 2 15MB .nef files per second. I had a USB 1 CF reader before and could go out and get a coffee, come back and it would still be downloading. Now I stay at my computer. This item is sort of expensive but was money well spent.

Customer Review: Not pleased
I ordered this 8 gig card with new horizons in mind. I shoot with a professional Canon 10D EOS. My camera, after 3.4 gigs was used up on the Lexar card, could no longer write to the card fast enough and all images become corrupt thereafter. Since I had only read positive reviews for the card, I was way to sure of this card and used it during a wedding shoot. I’m thankful I had plenty of 1 and 2 gig cards as back up. Further investigation opened up the notion that this card cannot be maximized by any camera other then the higher end SLR professional cameras that are new to the market - so if you don’t own a high end SLR and just have a normal SLR professional like myself, this card isn’t going to work for you. Atleast not past 3.4 gigs.
Customer Review: Accurate, large storage space and fast!
I would definitely put Lexar and SanDisk in the same category as the best memory cards on the market today. The UDMA Lexar 8GB is the perfect CF card for large format DSLR cameras. Especially for RAW format users.

Customer Review: Horribly overpriced.
This part is over priced for its ability to actually remain mounted on a lense. Tends to slip off or sideways. Should cost about $5.
Customer Review: Does its job
Pro: does what it suppose to

Customer Review: works well, but full frame show imperfection
On my full frame 5d there is a significant amount of vignetting, but that was rather expected being so much less expensive than the canon 24-70 L. Bought it because i am on a tight budget, and I dont regret it. Even with the vignetting- its still woth saving the 600+ dollar difference.
Customer Review: Good value for the money!
This was my first non Canon lens purchase, granted the other lenses I’ve owned has been cheaper Canon lenses (kit lens, 50mm and 28-135mm).
I’ve never owned an L so I can’t compare it to those but here are my impressions:

Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap Customer Review: camera strap
Camera strap is comfortable, and able to carry extra memory cards.
Recieved my order even before the scheduled date.
Definitely would recommend this product.
Customer Review: very good replacement
I didn’t really have any complaints with the original Canon strap on my camera, aside from the rough edges that seemed to dig into my neck and/or shoulders if I was carrying it for more than a few minutes (plus I didn’t want a huge “CANON” logo on me, may as well pin a big “rob me, please” sign on there too!).
I wasn’t really in the market for a new strap but noticed this in a store and thought “why not”. The pad, though much smaller than the original Canon strap, slides to accommodate different positions and is much softer. I wore this camera for hours on end when I was on vacation and it didn’t wear me down or cause me pain. Only issue is that the grip texture takes up very little area on the pad, which means it doesn’t hold onto your shoulder so well if you’re carrying it by your side.
