Camera Kodak Sport C135 14MP Deals & Reviews

Eric Schurr (Boston, MA): I recently went on a sailing vacation with my family and wanted a simple digital camera to take in the water. I wasn't looking for something high-end because all i really wanted to do was shoot pics of my kids snorkeling and scuba diving. I didn't want a disposable because they aren't digital, you usually have to wind them which is a real pain in the water, and they shoot poor pictures. My wife bought me a $500 top-of-the-line underwater point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix but I took it back because it was overkill. It was waterproof to 40 feet, had an altimeter, etc.

W. Ball (Alamo, CA United States): Kodak's bankruptcy and exit from the digital camera business probably means that these cameras will be gone forever! I have the updated C135 in pre-order, but I'm not holding my breath. Amazon says it's 'unavailable,' but my account's order status has the C135 shipping in April. Who knows? All I know is that I'm glad I own a backup C123 in the box. The C135 is supposed to have digital stabilization, as opposed to no image stabilization in the C123 - but the C123 still takes great pics for its intended purpose.

Willie "roadie" (pineapple park, FL, USA): I bought this camera for my 15 year old son who is taking a 2 week hiking trip. He hasn't actually taken the trip yet, but he's been playing around with the camera (we both have, actually) at home to get comfortable with its features and abilities. Considering the price, I am actually quite impressed. Aside from the price, there are two reasons I choose this camera. First, it is waterproof (to 10 feet)and could therefore withstand getting dropped in a puddle or rained on. The waterproof feature just takes that type of worry out of the equation.

Shania (Ohio): My son is also a competitive swimmer, so I fully expect he will at some point also enjoy it in the pool with his friends. The second reason for choosing this camera was the "easy share" of the pictures. You set up emails or a facebook account in advance, then as you take the pictures you choose where you will share them (email, facebook). To actually share them, you will need to plug into a computer, but then it will automatically and quickly send those pictures to wherever you have designated. (Hint: you need to designate an email to send from and a yahoo or gmail account are the easiest to use to set up... techies may know more, but this worked best for me). The biggest suprise was the pictures themselves. The quality is actually not bad. Professional photographers and photo enthusiasts of course would not be satisfied, but for a 15 year old boy or me, this works pretty good. Settings for lighting, etc.

Camera Kodak Easyshare C1550 (Blue) Deals & Reviews

Da Da Gary (Hewitt, TX United States): Purchased this, our 4th Kodak Easy Share camera, to replace an aging M1033 10 megapixel camera that worked absolutely great, but recently developed a problem with the memory card popping out randomly at inopportune times.I don't think we've been able to take a decent photo with the C1550. The auto focus is horrendously slow, and by the time the camera decides it is focused and snaps the picture, the subject (usually our 2 young boys) has moved and thus the photo is out of focus and blurry. This is not a problem we have with any of our other cameras, including our cell phones.

David Sanders (Gastonia, NC): I got this camera on Sept. 23, 2011. It broke on Nov. 14, 2011. Before we get into that, though, I have to talk about the picture quality. At 16 mp, I expected a lot better quality. I did not get it. A lot of moving pics turned out blurry, even when set to the proper mode. The low light settings were also terrible. But I dealt with it because I needed a cheap camera. I knew what I paid, so I didn't complain. For almost $100, I will complain about it breaking, however.

Sharon Heald (Detroit, Michigan United States): If you need a simple camera that is decent then this product will suffice your needs. By no means will this replace DSLR camera's or be better than the expensive ones out there. Other reviews have already pointed out the short comings of this camera. But if you need a camera to keep in your car in case of emergencies, then look no further. Great price for the functions its called upon to do... take pictures. Help other customers

L. Schmitt (Arkansas): This camera was a complete failure. It worked for a short time about 15 minutes than it shut down with a low battery light flashing. I replaced the batteries that came with the camera with brand new Duracel batteries but it still did the same thing. This is the 3rd Kodak camera our family have owned that has had problems. Amazon did a good job returning the camera and crediting our credit card. We than bought a Sony camera which works great.

Camera Kodak Easyshare C195 Deals & Reviews

Victoria A. Twarog (Orchard Park, NY): Two years ago, I bought a Kodak Easy Share, 7 megapixels, for $99.00. I love the camera but decided to buy another Kodak only this time with 14 megapixels because everyone told me that with more megapixels, the photos would be even clearer. Well, that was a waste of money for me. For one thing, my old camera is sturdier and the features easier to access, the buttons are stronger and are easier to use -- even the telescopic/wide lens work better and are not clumsy, like on the the C195 model.

Hal "Halbreck" (United States): They sell this camera on it's ease of use, especially for sending pictures to social networks such as Facebook. And for cranking out little jpeg images to the web, it is just fine...however, it would be nice to have the option of taking higher quality photos, since they also advertise this camera as 14 megapixel. That's a joke, because while I'm sure the equipment is capable of shooting a very clear photo, it automatically compresses every image so that if you view it at actual size (or feel like making a large print) it's extremely fuzzy. This is probably in the interest of allowing you to cram more photos onto a card, but at least give us a choice to sacrifice some space for a crisper picture.

A. Murray "shoppingpro" (Burlington, Vermont United States): The picture clairity is impressive and the zoom is powerful. The battery life has been the same as other cameras I have owned. The only mild comment I would make about the Ease of Use would be that the buttons are flush with the casing, so you have to use your fingertip firmly in the right spot to get the buttons to press. Not a big deal, but a slight raising of them would make this a perfect camera.

Gopowershome (Los Angeles, CA): This little camera fits easily in a back pocket or purse, which is why I got it. It doesn't come with a manual but is pretty easy to figure out. Getting to know the adjustments, light for example, takes a little practice but the learning curve is pretty fast. A wonderful, compact camera that takes great pictures. The easy share feature is fantastic. Just tag the photo and when uploading, the photos will automatically be sent to social media apps while also being uploaded to the computer photo program. This camera is perfect for young people just starting out with photography, as well as experienced photographers who like to have a camera with them but not schlep around the equipment.

W. Ball (Alamo, CA United States): This video was recorded as I snorkeled over a reef just off Kaanapali Beach, a few hundred yards north of our hotel (Honua Kai)- not the nicest reef by far, but this video should demonstrate the camera's surprisingly good capabilities, especially considering the low price. It was late afternoon and the water was a bit murky, and I was surprised how well the video came out. I have uploaded the raw avi file (66.9 MB; 44 seconds). This camera shoots VGA (640x480). Amazon processing reduced the resolution and quality, although it still looks fairly faithful to what I uploaded.

Jynna (New Jersey): We recently purchased this camera for our Disney Cruise. Our seven year old son was scheduled to snorkle with stingrays on Castaway Cay and we wanted to capture that experience. We were able to take photos and video of him with the stingrays, some of it underwater. The camera took clear pictures and video. The only drawback was it is hard to see the screen (so you know what you are photographing) and there is no viewfinder but that problem was easily outweighed by the price. We are very pleased with our purchase!

Teachermom (Massachusetts): I was truly blown away by the picture quality! I just printed some of the pictures and they look way better than I anticipated from a waterproof camera - insanely inexpensive at that. I kept the camera submerged for long periods of time and I never noticed any sort of leakage. My vacation would not have been complete without it...serious! Only drawback is the speed at which you can take multiple pictures in repetition. The screen takes a second to process the photo so you have to wait a few seconds to take another picture.

Camera Kodak Easyshare C1505 12 MP Deals & Reviews

D. C. Russell "willow dragonfly" (Pacific Northwest): It doesn't matter whether you are budgeting because you have to or because you want to save money for your future or for some other reason, this camera will definitely fit a budget better than most of the digital cameras out there. One reviewer stated that those who gave good reviews of this camera have probably not owned a nice camera previously. Well, I do fit into that category of not having owned an expensive camera before, but regardless, I love this camera. I have had a barrel of fun wih it. It is easy to use for someone such as myself who does not know a lot about photo-taking. To me, it takes great pictures, with great color, and I could not be happier with it. Mohamed Erman "Mohamed" (USA): I got a 2 GB Sandisk memory card (from Amazon) and a Transcend card reader (very inexpensive from Amazon--$8.54 including shipping compared to $35 or $40 for others--and works great for my MSNTV internet device, about which I was very concerned about finding any compatible card reader anywhere at any price). So at this point I am a very happy buyer. Amazon rocks!! I have been really happy with photos of sunsets, my bottle trees, crafts projects, trees, myself (taken by myself just holding my arm out and snapping a photo at arm's length), paintings I've done, and more. I have not tried the video mode yet so can't comment on that. One note--this camera will hold only one photo in its internal memory. You pretty much have to purchase a memory card. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take photos that don't require professional results. Again, I love it. Robert H. Woody (Omaha, NE United States): With this inexpensive Kodak, I am not getting the sharp images and color that I would prefer. However, it was well below $100, so perhaps it is unrealistic to expect better quality. It is adequate for photos of kids blowing out candles on birthday cakes, family gatherings, and distant scenes. It is inadequate, in my opinion, for photos that can be used for commercial purposes or even for posting on Facebook.

Groton_reader (Groton, MA): I was looking for a simple, inexpensive digital camera, trusting both Kodak and Amazon for the quality I expect from both. Though I believe this camera will be ultimately usable for my basic needs, I am extremely disappointed at having been lied to over and over in the product description. I expect much better from Amazon.I've only just received the camera and can't really do anything with it since I have to get the SD card to make it work. I'm wondering what other lies I've been told that will spring up once I get it fully functional after an additional purchase I had not anticipated. This is very disappointing.

Camera Kodak EasyShare C1530 14 MP Deals & Reviews

GatorMan (OK): For the price, it's a good value. It's small enough to fit in a pocket, doesn't take special batteries that can be hard to find, and reads chips much faster the Kodak Z740 that I had previous. Battery life is within the acceptable range, and since it takes two AA batteries, it's easy to haul extra. Picture quality is pretty good for a point and shoot. Took me a while to figure out how some of the features worked. Still not a fan of how pictures are uploaded to the computer, although the load to facebook an flickr is seamless. I got it as an interim camera to use until I can get the DSLR I want but will probably continue to use it both because it's so easy to stick in a pocket and carry with everywhere, and to help frame pictures with the bigger camera. Jerry C. Byrum (Santa Paula, California, US): I mean what is the point? If you have a camera and can't empty the pictures someplace. I have windows 8 and it is incompatible, and maybe I missed it, but I didn't see that warning. The batteries were hard to put in, battery cover, insert area feels like junk. but I had another easyshare and iwas happy with it so thought I'd take a chance. Katya "NYCAmberLady" (mt vernon, ny United States): First and foremost, I am impressed that this product arrived so quickly. I wasn't expecting it until days later. The reason I purchased this camera was because my old Kodak Easyshare M883 recently went kaput. I decided to stay with the brand and get a similar model, and I believe that I made a great choice. The pictures are very clear for being a simple point-and-shoot device, the features are easy to navigate, and it has a lot of updated features that my older model didn't have. I was not aware that the camera came with batteries, a wrist strap, and a USB cable, so that was an unexpected bonus. If you're looking for an inexpensive, non-professional camera, I definitely recommend this one. Lawana (NWA): Brought this for my father who is 70 and new to digital cameras. He wanted something simple, cheap and good and this one fits the bill. Its very easy to use and doesnt have too many fancy buttons and the price is very good considering its a Kodak and it clicks very good pics. I wanted to trade my 2009 Sony with this one, but my dad wouldnt have it!

Camera Kodak C1530 Deals & Reviews

Ps181 (usa): I wanted a cheap, working, point and shoot camera with better quality than my old cell phone, and it works for that. Aside from adjusting the exposure you may be frustrated with some of the seemingly technical options; white balance only has presets, and if you don't want auto focus your only alternatives are macro and infinity - no manual! There is a simple mode and a "program" mode with more options, but the camera always defaults to the simple mode when you turn it on. Nathan Kull "Nate" (Sioux Falls, SD): Picture quality is decent. It's not the 90s anymore and you could probably say that about any similar consumer grade camera. 14 megapixels seems like a lot less when you zoom all the way in, but close-ups turn out well (when you get them in focus). Video is 640x480 and again, this isn't amazing, but I'd pick this over any old video camera simply because it doesn't record the sound of a videotape motor (plus digitizing tapes is boring and expensive). Janet Perry "make learning an adventure" (Loganville, GA United States): For the price, it's a good value. It's small enough to fit in a pocket, doesn't take special batteries that can be hard to find, and reads chips much faster the Kodak Z740 that I had previous. Battery life is within the acceptable range, and since it takes two AA batteries, it's easy to haul extra. Picture quality is pretty good for a point and shoot. Took me a while to figure out how some of the features worked. Still not a fan of how pictures are uploaded to the computer, although the load to facebook an flickr is seamless. I got it as an interim camera to use until I can get the DSLR I want but will probably continue to use it both because it's so easy to stick in a pocket and carry with everywhere, and to help frame pictures with the bigger camera. James C. Groves (Gloucester, MA USA): The camera itself is very nice, easy to hold, easy to shoot. I did have a problem with it which is probably an issue only with this particular camera, not all Kodak cameras. However, the download to be able to share your photos through the computer did not work, and the EasyShare cameras from Kodak are not supported any longer. I was not able to go online and get a download. Because I needed the camera for my part-time work, and that work included being able to download photos to a website, I could not use the camera. Amazon, however, was very generous in refunding the purchase price of this item.

Camera Kodak Easyshare C1505 Deals & Reviews

Scott Bae (Queens, NY): I bought this camera for my Mom, who is very technically challenged. I took it out of the box and the first thing I noticed was the compact size! I put the batteries in and set the time and date, which was really easy. Took a couple of test shots, and they looked great. I think this is a great point and shoot for people who don't have a whole lot of technical know-how or photography skills.

T. Lewis (Doylestown, PA): I'm overseas and have gone through three (3) cameras that were destroyed by dust and sand getting into the zooming lense/shutter. I picked this camera for its low cost and the fact that is only has digital zoom. The action can be a little slow and the photos can be a bit grainy but it has held up to the test of time and recording things like helicopters landing close by that destroyed the previous cameras.

Ruth E. Becker (Iowa): I had the previous model of this camera and it was pretty good for a low price camera. Upon needing a replacement I figured I couldn't go wrong with the same camera. A minor issue is that the newer model no longer has optical zoom. That's a minor issue that I knew before purchasing. The major problem is that the pictures this camera takes are horrible blurry messes. I need the camera to take pictures of equipment nameplates, which the previous model was great with. This picture rendered the text as an amorphous blob no matter which setting it was set on. Nearly every picture was terribly blurry or poor resolution.

Ramon Emilio TIo (Miami, Florida, US): I take this camera to a birthday party held at night indoors and where there where no proper light (considered it was a disco), and i wasnt able to take more than 3 or 4 and a bunch of dark picture that i have to erased, this was and embarresment comparing to other picture taked by other camera with less pixel that delivered good quality picture of the birthday. Overall, at daylight and indoors with good ilumination, this camera do a decent jobs to capture those precious moment. if you have money for other camera, you may want to pass this one, but if you want a decent camera that in good conditions do the job and if you loss it or break it you dont going to fell sorry, go ahead and buy it.

Camera Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Sensor Deals & Reviews

Greggrey Cudworth "cuddysark" (Hot Springs Village): The 3ti is a great camera and takes great pictures. But I find one thing disappointing; I moved up from a canon pocket camera and the full features 3ti doesn't have the same features as the pocket camera. My pocket has color swap and color select, both are really neat features. The 3ti doesn't have these features. You would think that a camera costing almost 3 times as much would have at least as many, if not more, capabilities as one costing almost 3 times less.
After buying the 3ti I found out that the Nikon 5100 has these features. Go figure that.
Also you must be careful about the deals being offered.

Collin Mcdowell (Tempe, AZ): After reading many reviews professional and personal I was sort of concerned as to what I was getting myself into. Some of the personal reviews that I read suggested that the camera was made of plastic and the lenses felt cheap. I had picked this camera up in the store several times but it had a huge security device attached to it. So I really never really held one in my hands and checked it out like I should have.

RCamp (O.C. California): I didnt purchase my kit from Amazon, but it is the same kit. I have never owned a DSLR but have been wanting one for years. I finally made the jump from a Kodak point and shoot to the Canon T3i and could not be happier. The two lenses give a first time user a wide range of options to experiment with.
The menu system is easy to navigate and even easier to understand. Having the ability to charge the battery and start taking pictures that were leaps and bounds beyond anything I had done previously was amazing. It doesnt take long to learn the basic functions and features of this camera and before long you are out of auto mode and experimenting with the manual controls to find out what works best for you.

Mike H (Katy, Tx United States): I've heard from a lot of people that Nikon is the best. And maybe it is.
I have always had a Canon DSLR. It was given to me and was a D60. It had become an antique, the SD card was becoming hard to find. Of course, I wanted another Canon.
I got my money's worth and more. The T3i takes wonderful pictures! I was so impressed with the vibrancy of the colors and the ease of use of the camera. If you are a novice this camera will be great for you. I haven't even looked over the book yet and I've had it for a while.
The telephoto being included, in my opinion, was a great deal.

Camera Canon EOS 6D 20.2 MP CMOS Deals & Reviews

E. K. Wlin (USA): Just received a 6D as a backup to my 5D Mark III. I am not going to bore you with the specifications that you can Google to find. I know most of you are reading this because you are getting into an entry level full frame camera or go straight to pro. Among your choices are Canon 6D, 5D Mark III and Nikon D600 which I will cover here. As for the D800, you can find lots of reviews online which I won't get into here. This review will be a side by side comparison of the actual photos.

Andrew Plotkin (Worcester, MA): I've now been using my 6d for a bit over a week and feel that I've handled it enough to write a comprehensive review. First, let me tell you that I upgraded from a Rebel T2i, which I absolutely loved. I'm by no means a pro, and I don't typically get paid for my work; but I would classify myself as a photo enthusiast. I travel a lot and size and weight were factors in my decision to go with the 6d. I also like to shoot with available light, which is why I wanted to go full frame for the high ISO performance. For some reason it says I purchased the body only, but I actually bought the kit.

Nathan L. Mccreery Photography (New Mexico): I guess my requirements in a camera are different than anyone else's but here goes. I have been a working pro for over 30 years and have always used the most basic cameras you could imagine, Hasselblad and 4x5 Toyo. Frankly, I don't give a rats rosy red rear end about WiFi, GPS, in camera video etc. They are beside the point as far as I'm concerned and usually are just things that keep the old Canon vs Nikon thing going. The only thing I care about is the quality of image coming out of the camera, and I thoroughly object to paying for a camera body that will be out of date in four years that cost more than I paid for my Hasselblad with three lenses. That said this camera body fits in very nicely with my needs.

Kyle R. Grantham (Athens, OH): I am a staff photographer at The News Journal in Wilmington, Delaware, and upon joining the staff a few months ago, asked the photo director to purchase a 6D for my kit. I've previously used the original 5D, 5DmkII, 5DmkIII, 60D, 7D, 1DmkIIN, 1DmkIII and the EOS M, while working part-time for a Canon dealer in Wyoming as a side job to my position on the staff of the Casper Star-Tribune, where I worked full time.
I've also used Nikon gear when I work for a paper in Indiana. There I was outfitted with two Nikon D3s's.

Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 MP Deals & Reviews

J. Howell (Atlanta, GA): I didn't rush to make a review of this camera, as I wanted to really put it through it's paces first. I won't try to list every feature or go over every bullet point (the above description does a fine job), but instead try to go over a few things which make a big difference to me as a 5D Mark II owner. For some background, I bought an original 5D in 2007, a 5DII in 2008 and have been working with these bodies ever since then. I also have experience with all of the Canon 1-series up through the 1DIII and 1DsIII. I currently log about 60,000 photos per year with the 5D Mark IIs as a professional wedding and portrait photographer. I shoot almost exclusively with fast L prime lenses in my work.

David Siegfried (Chicago, IL United States): I'm currently an owner of the 5D Mk II and the 60D and my expectations were that the Mk III would inherit many of the superior handling features of the newer 60D. I am an enthusiast and not a professional photographer but I do make my living shooting product photography for online sales. For pleasure I shoot nature, architecture, and the occasional portraits. I'm also an avid fan of DSLR video and the fact that these cameras can literally capture Hollywood quality footage with few modifications is a big deal to me and a lot of people in the independent cinematography community.

Coronet Blue (California): Received camera body from Amazon on 3/23. Lots of new features (5D2 manual is 259 pages; 5D3 manual is 403 pages). For the work I do, I was looking for two improvements over the 5D2: Ability to bracket more than 3 shots and much lower noise. The first wish was granted. As you probably know, the 5D3 does 7 exposures. Nikons do 9, but 7 is almost always enough. Those who need more will probably have a Promote remote anyway. Noise? Well, the 5D3 images are cleaner but I wouldn't say dramatically so. With the default noise settings and long exp NR set on, I'd say it's 1 to 1.5 stops better than the 5D2. Now, with a little Noiseware or other NR, you can get very clean images at 12800 with very little loss of detail so I don't consider this a problem. I guess it was unrealistic to expect the 5D3 to match the very low noise of my D700 but it would have been nice.

Phaseout (New Jersey): I recently sold my Canon 7D and saved up to get this camera. After hearing so much talk about how much better the D800 is and how the Mark III is not worth the money, I decided to give it a shot rather than be influenced by comments on the web by people who never shot with the camera. Upon first inspection after opening my kit I was impressed at how sturdy and professional the camera felt. I always felt the 7D was very tough and sturdy but the 5D takes it to another level. The grip is great and sticks to your hand. It also covers the batter compartment. The camera grip has a great indent for your hand and an excellent thumb rest. Overall ergonomics are fantastic and the camera has a slick look but is bigger than the 7D at every dimension. No confusing this with an entry or midlevel camera. It screams pro, even without a grip.

Camera Canon EOS 6.3MP Digital Rebel Deals & Reviews

Maddi Hausmann Sojourner "madhaus" (Silicon Valley, CA USA): I went digital 5 years ago. My first was one of the very old Olypus digitals; no removable storage, just a cable to the computer, 120 low resolution or 30 medium resolution shots and then the memory was full. The colors were always off, there was no zoom, and it was amazing that it worked at all. No wonder I also bought a pocket 35mm camera to take "real" pictures since the Olympus' were so small, grainy, and colorless. At least the 35mm had a datestamp option. 3 years later I bought the Canon PowerShot S30, then when I lost it (or had it stolen?) I replaced it with the S40. The PowerShot S50 sold today is the same body style with more pixels and a couple of annoyances fixed.

Mister_t42 (Andover, MA): I've owned three digital cameras before this (a very small Sony, a Canon G1, and an older Kodak), and have been impressed with instant feedback received by viewing your photo 2 seconds after you took it, but was always left with the feeling that I needed to be able to change lenses and have more control over the process.
What I really wanted was my old Canon EOS 650 (35mm) camera to work with a digital camara back so that I could make use of my existing investment in lenses. Well guess what, that is exactly what the Digital Rebel provides!

Jemaerca (River Forest, IL, United States): I have been intrigued by this camera since its release. My old camera is a Canon PowerShot S30 (3.2MP). I wanted to buy an SLR to advance my photography skills and capabilities. When this beauty came along bearing a price tag under $1,000 and received prestigious acclaim I knew I wanted one. But I decided to delay for a few months, waiting to see what competition would arise, and how quickly the price would drop. That competition presented itself as the Nikon D70. Ultimately, I decided to get the D-Rebel because the price-to-quality ratio is exceptional; the ~$300+ more for the Nikon doesn't seem justifiable for what I think are negligible factors. Besides, my PowerShot has served me well and I'm used to the Canon system.

R. Shumskis "highlandbob" (Maryland, USA): I had an Olympus 5MP point-n-shoot Camedia camera I was pretty happy with for portraits. I was annoyed w/ the fixed lens that prevented me from taking good photos of wildlife. I have hummingbird feeders in my backyard and unless you've had the opportunity to work with hummingbird families for years, the sweet, tiny animals are skittish and don't often pose for you when you get too close. When my point-n-shoot stopped focusing, I took advantage of this situation by rationalizing this bigger purchase.

Camera Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Deals & Reviews

Rimesh Patel (Washington D.C.): Yes, the high megapixel count is impressive, but keep in mind that, as you approach higher resolutions, you need to ensure the lens on the SLR can resolve that much detail. Sadly, the included 18-55mm IS lens is functional, but the high resolution really shows the so-so quality of the lens. Even if taken at the proper focus, pictures can appear soft with this kit lens. Shots I have taken with Canon EF-S 17-85mm and EF 70-200mm L lenses are crisp. I don't have any gripes on image quality. There are some issues with noise on the higher ISOs that don't seem to show up on the Nikon digitals, but overall, the quality is amazing for the price. Skin tones, textures, colors are reproduced very accurately.

Smithnwesson "Tom" (Kalifornia): I tested the video for memory consumption rate the day I got it, no problem for a 20 minute test run. I saw a little white bar on the right side of the screen appear get a little bigger, then disappear. I figured it was a buffer level. Next day at the convention during Jeri Ryan's appearance I took a few stills and flipped into the video mode, nice.... until it stopped after a few minutes. Set it back up, pushed record again a few minutes later stopped, no warning, no beep, just stopped. Try again, now I notice the buffer bar reaches the top, it stops. I am using a kingston 8 gig class 6 sdhc, freshly formatted by the camera. That sucks! I missed a lot of good video because this new marvelous camera can't write fast enough. This occured on 2 different but identical cards so I thought the camera was having problems. It was on the 720p mode, 1080 mode could only go 8 seconds.

H. Lakshminarayan "Harish KL" (Los Angeles): I have read many reviews comparing T1i and D5000, saying Nikon has better Low light performance. It may be true, but T1i produces brilliant pics till ISO3200 (Nikon may produce little better than this at same ISO range), but I use my camera very less for low light photograpy and Canon T1i's JPEG quality in normal light is a very sharp, captures more detail due to its 15MP resolution and it is better than that of Nikon D5000.
Handling wise i never felt T1i as bad. It has a great grip and due to its less weight, it is very portable compared to Nikon D5000.

AmazonBox@theDoor4Me (Orange County): I received this two days ago and was really unsure about the T1i. I've read what scant reviews existed on Amazon and became somewhat concerned about the complaints of soft images. In the brief time I tested it I noticed my shots were coming out soft as well compared to my S3. Then after toying around with the settings I found that the "Standard" profile's sharpness was set on low. Not having dug that deep into the menu system, I believe it was the default setting making the images really soft. I now have it on max, or near max, and am more satisfied with the images. While increasing sharpness, images remain really smooth even at high ISOs. Overall, I'm more satisfied with the unit now that I've got the image sharpening down. With that said I still have more deliberating to do.

Doctor.Generosity (New England) :  OK you say, it's small. So what am I giving up? Answer is - not really much. Image quality is excellent. The electronics of sensors have advanced rapidly in the last few years and the newest entry level camera is going to perform better than the one you bought two years ago, no matter how much you paid for it. And new half frame sensors may be comparable to full frame sensors from a few years back. Also, the entry level DSLR market is the most competitive. Nikon (D3200) and Canon (SL1 or T5) are forced to give you more for your money than with high end full frame cameras. The SL1 is a bargain. Yes, you can get a marginal improvement in images and controls by going up market, but you will pay 3X as much in dollars, and in weight, and in volume. The cost of any technology is usually on a log scale; 90% of state of the art costs X and 95% costs 3X and 99% costs 9X. It makes no sense to ride this curve unless you do very specialized or commercial photography. For most of us, the most important thing is whether we have the camera with us when the photo opp comes up.

MarjD (CIncinnati OH USA): Pre-ordered SL1 to replace old Rebel xSi in April 2013 before a trip to Europe. Huge technological step forward. Got 18-135mm STM for greater range than kit lens; still very compact. Brought 50mm 1.8 but never took 18-135 off camera - fast enough. Took 2000+ shots plus some video; few bad shots. Low light performance astonishing; even ISO 6400 in near-darkness very usable with little noise (I shot entirely in JPEG). Smartphone users will find touch screen intuitive and easier than menu surfing; long-time Canon users will find customary buttons familiar. Well-balanced even with longer lens; body comfortable in large hands. Light weight ideal to wear around neck all day. Instant availability of video; can shoot stills within.

Linda W. Lindert "wastetire" (Davis, CA): I have had 6-7 Canon digital bodies over the last 15-20 years. I have liked them all, but this is the one I will now use! I am now a senior citizen and carrying heavy equipment is not to my liking. This is the SLR for me. I love the touch screen. It is so easy to change ISO rapidly, go from black and white to color pictures. I find the light meter is right on, although I have always used a -1/3rd on all Canon in-camera meters.

Peter Cotsis (Chester, NY United States): I'm a long time Canon owner/user, the SL-1 is my fourth digital Rebel. I had a T3i that I purchased a year ago, and I loved that camera. When I saw the SL1 I was intrigued, so I ordered it. Very happy with the SL1, gives up nothing to the T3 except that the LCD screen is fixed, not swiveling, but I didn't use the swivel feature anyway, and the SL1 adds a very capable touchscreen that really works. I love the small size, paired with a smaller kit lens (I have the 18-55USM IS that came with the T3i, which is a bit smaller than the current STM lens they package these cameras with today) it is a VERY portable and light full featured DSLR.

Camera Canon EOS Rebel T4i 18.0 MP CMOS Deals & Reviews

E. Reed (Detroit): When I saw rumors that the t4i would have a touchscreen I first said I wouldn't buy it. I figured this would be a gimmick and offer limited functionality. Then when i saw the press release and videos from Canon I changed my mind. I was sceptic of a couple things I will address here. I will start with the touch to adjust. Right now I feel kind of wonky using the touchscreen to make most adjustments to shooting in manual mode which is all i shoot in. But I consider this like moving from a blackberry to an iPhone. You are used to using buttons and the keyboard for so long you are lost on the touchscreen at first, but with time it ends up faster and easier. So in time it will end up faster for me to adjust by touch I am sure. It is in two spots already. ISO adjusting always seemed kind of odd to me on the rebel. The ISO button was placed so you had to kind of search for it and then do a three button combo to set it. On the touchscreen I find this easier. A couple taps and its done. The other major place it's easier for me is AEB.

G. Thompson (Missouri, United States): All I can say so far is WOW - I'm very impressed with the upgraded autofocus, the touchscreen, as well as the new focus selection methods. There is a LOT less delay when you move the camera and what you see on the screen in Live Mode. Live Mode is MUCH "snappier" feeling. When you turned on the T3i in Live Mode, it would have a little rectangle you could move around the screen to make sure the camera was focusing on what you wanted. But with the T4i, this system is much more versatile. You can tap the screen to instantly set a focus point, or you can move the little box around (which is much smaller and more precise now - and it will also FOLLOW your focus point when you move the camera around!), or you can allow for a more "general focus" by getting rid of the little box and letting the camera choose how it wants to focus, similar to how it works when using only the viewfinder to take photos.

Henry N. Nguyen (Northern California): The main reasons for my upgrade are: 1) 9 cross-type focusing points; 2) Faster shooting burst rate; 3) Continuous video focusing; 4) Touch screen (very useful features). The picture quality is from very good to excellent. Color tone is realistic. Pictures from T4i camera look better than pictures from T1i camera in term of white balance and sharpness (probably from the benefits of 9 cross-type focus points). It is definitely more snappy in sport mode, focusing is fast and burst rate is good. I do like the continuous focusing feature in the video mode because of the convenience. It takes between 1 - 2 second to focus to new scene and you can hear the focusing noise from the lense. Definitely, there are rooms for improvement (faster focusing and reduce the motor noise during focusing) in video feature. I don't have the new Canon STM lense, so I don't know if it is quite or not.

Art P (Houston, TX): The touch screen was nice and so was the swipe & pinch-to-zoom feature for reviewing your photos, the "tilty swively" feature is also a great carryover from the T3i. I agree with another reviewer that mentioned the shutter sound has a more "professional" feel to it. I really liked the 5fps, it is a significant step up from 3.7fps; however, the buffer size was not increased accordingly so the camera can take 5-6 RAW images before the cache is full and needs to clear out. Once the cache is full it takes about 5-7 seconds to clear; This was using a 32Gb Sandisk Class 10 (35Mb/s) SD card. Sports shooters might want to think about this one.

Camera Canon EOS Rebel T5i 18.0 MP CMOS Deals & Reviews

EnchantedGal (Portland, OR): I purchased the T5i with the 18-135mm lens kit. I LOVE the camera, but wasn't completely satisfied with the lens for my purposes. If you are on a budget the kit lens is capable of giving you great close up and wide angle/zoomed out shots, and for most people I can see this being a good starter lens (especially if you already know that the range is appropriate for your uses - such as full landscape shots, brightly lit settings, groups of people indoors etc.) For my personal choice in subject matter (including wildlife and some low light photography) I can't recommend buying kit lenses due to the zoom range limitations and higher f stop than some other affordable lenses. I ended up returning my kit and bought the body only and two separate low cost lenses to meet my needs (a fixed focal length lens with low light capabilities such as the 28 or 50mm f/1.8, and a good zoom like the "EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II") until I was able to invest in a longer zoom range L series lens.

Reginald Nance (Maryland, United States): I upgraded to this model from the Rebel XTi I bought 6 or 7 years ago. The two cameras are night and day so I won't compare them. I will only say that camera technology has come a long way in 7 years. This camera can do pretty much everything the top grade professional cameras can do. I would probably be mad if I was a professional and invested a couple thousand dollars in a camera and now the entry level SLRs can pretty much do the same thing.

Alex Antonov (Evanston, Illinois USA): Came quickly and as described. The wife LOVES the 18-135 lens, a HUGE improvement over the standard 18-55 that most people get. Bought this over the 6D because it has some newer technology inside comparatively, so some google searches to find out specific differences, and to 98% of the people out there, you'd never use the camera to the potential that you'd notice. If you were to, you would be investing in a 3k dollar camera. Don't regret this a bit, and would buy again!

Dianna M Brown (Festus, MO, US): I was formally a professional photographer that shot nikon. I had all nikon glass and nikon accessories so I was unable to change brands. After a horrible illness, i was forced to sell all of my camera equipment. I recently got the "bug" again and started searching for a camera. I review specs on all major brands, primarily Nikon and canon. I had a friend that told me to try this camera because he had 12 canon lens's that were excellent quality that he would loan me indefinitely. i look at the upper level nikons and canons and compared specs. i saw no reason to spend an extra thousand bucks on a few more focal points or an alloy camera body. So it was a no brainer for me to try this camera out.

Camera Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Deals & Reviews

C. Tipton (Atlanta, GA): The newest addition to Canon's XXD line might initially seem like a minor downgrade to the previous XXD cameras, but several new capabilities actually help make this a nice, well-featured camera that will appeal to many people who don't get caught up in whether or not this is a better camera than it's predecessor. Canon certainly made this camera for the price point and was careful to add just enough features to make it desirable over the T2i, but not desirable enough to compete with the 7D. In some respects though, it seems like a beefed-up version of the Rebel line (a "Super-Rebel") instead of a new addition to the XXD line.

J. Kirlin (Bangor, Maine USA): Why does it take this many years to get a camera with an articulated LCD? Nikon offered this a year or so ago on the entry level Nikon d5000 DSLR much the same way Nikon had to force Canon to give Canon users Image Stabilization on the entry level lenses only after Nikon started to offer it's VR system on it's entry level lenses. CANON! STOP LETTING NIKON DICTATE YOUR CAMERA DEVELOPMENT! DO IT FOR US! Like us! Please? Just a little?? The variangle LCD was the strength of the Canon point and shoots, particularly of the Canon PowerShot S series, whose users will possibly be this camera's biggest fans. The best thing about this window is that you can protect the screen from scratches and although Canon claims it will help you get shots from other angels and enhance the live view, it's still slightly more awkward to use than on the Powershot series because you could one zoom one handed with the switch, instead to having to manually twist the lens.

Michael Everett (Santa Monica): I have owned a T1i and a T2i which I used for semi-professional family shoots. I recently upgraded to the 60D and honestly was extremely surprised at the big upgrade it is from the T2i. For advanced users, it is more than worth the extra cash. It fits in my hand much better and the controls are easier to access. When using my 50mm 1.4 the 60D focuses much more accurately than my T2i does. I was having a lot of problem with the T2i front focusing, but the 60D has been spot on. I am also very pleased with how it handles my indoor lighting. Shots with my T2i usually turned out yellow when on auto-whitebalance, but the 60D seem to produce much better indoor color. Another surprise was how quiet the shutter mechanism is. It is much softer than the T2i which will be very nice with the wedding shoots I have coming up. There are so many more advanced options in the menus than you get on a Rebel. Another surprise for me was that it has ISO increments in 1/3 stops. For people considering taking the photography to the next level, I couldn't recommend this product any higher.

Robert L. Taylor "SaltyBob" (Utah): All the Canon XXD camera reviews quickly devolve into a criticism of the compromises Canon makes for the price point and the intended market. The 60D is no exception, perhaps more so with the 60D. I recall all the bad press and angry reviews the 50D and even the 40D got when they first came out, always whining about missing features, arguments over the pixel count, is it a real semi-pro camera or not, etc. It's a tough spot to satisfy a tough crowd. Clearly Canon is repositioning the XXD line with the 60D. This line of Cameras has always been in an odd space, stuck between the Rebels and higher end Pro Cameras. It appeals to those that want a pro camera but don't want to spend the money to get a real pro camera like the 5 or 1 Series cameras and those that wouldn't be caught dead with a lowly Rebel, the camera snobs. This crowd often wants more than it is paying for.
