Canon DCC-60 Soft Leather Case For Digital IXUS 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 & 80

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Digital Camera Accessories

Well what can you say about a camera case? Judging by the amount of reviews, quite a bit really. Too many can be quite confusing I think.
Anyway... I've just bought a current model Canon digital camera (the Ixus 80iS) and this case to put it in. Others have mentioned a tight fit and indeed this camera is. But it DOES go in and, hopefully, it might loosen up a tad.
No space for memory cards (but with the big SD cards available, I don't need that)
No space for spare battery (OK, could be a problem, but this is not an equipment case, purely one to protect the camera)
And "that belt loop" (nah, I won't use that either. But its not obtrusive)

4stars purely because its a tight fit and the leather's stiff. A good ... Read More:

Nikon ML-L3 Remote Control

from: Nikon

Its a remote for compatible Nikon DSLR's, offering plenty of range for self portraits, and group shots with you in shot.

Check where the sensor to pick this up on your camera is, the D60's is on the front, so outdoors you may get problems taking photo's with the remote from behind, for example when the camera's on a tripod, and you're trying to get that perfect landscape.

Comes with a small pouch that attaches to the neck strap on your camera.

Much cheaper than in the shops (currently about £15 at most Nikon dealers)

In short, it works well, its a great addition to your outfit, and as long as your camera can see the beam (weather direct or bounced of something) it'll do the job.

Canon DCC-70 Soft Leather Case For Digital IXUS 700, 750, 800, 850 IS,860 IS, 900Ti & 960 IS

This case is a bit pricey, but it is very well made, camera fits perfectly and it's light weight and convenient.

The 'soft' refers to the leather finish and not the firmness of the case, had I not read the previous reviews this may have been a shock from the description.

There is no where to store additional batteries or SD cards, which suits me perfectly as I am just a 'point-and-shoot' kinda girl and I didn't want a bulky case designed for the 'extras' I don't need.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens

I bought this for my 450D after reading all the reviews on Amazon and lots of other photo sites.

I then took it to Mull this weekend and got some stunning images with it. After getting some ultra sharp images I decided that I wanted to get a bit more of the beach in from the same place, so got my kit lens out. I got the nifty fifty off the camera, put the kit lens on and then dropped the 50mm on to the concrete slipway. It rolled about and I caught it, but I was petrified to look after all the bad reviews that stated stuff like "I gently knocked this against the wall and it fell apart."

Well boys and girls, I dropped mine from 4ft on to concrete and it's still alive and kicking, with little more than a few sand grain sized scuffs. ... Read More:

Joby Gorillapod

I was bought one of these as a present and it is great at gripping on to various objects and can function as a mini tripod reasonably well. However, the ball joints near the plate is not robust enough to take a heavy SLR body. It probably works fine with a lighter entry level camera with a light digital zoom, but if you have any sort of serious kit then it is incapable of remaining stable. I also have a quibble with the locking pin and camera plate which requires a 10p coin to attach and detach from the camera. It is a simple engineering fix to add some sort of recessed tag and I can't understand why it hasn't been done yet.

Canon DCC-600 Soft Case For PowerShot G7 & G9

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Digital Camera Accessories

September 26, 2007
On reading the other reviews I was quite worried. Nevertheless, the Canon DCC-600 is much better than I expected; it is excellent quality (in real leather); offers great protection; fits the G9 perfectly and looks rather cool and even has a neat SD Card holder in the lid. I agree that a spare battery holder would have been useful but where do you stop. If you have a G7 or G9 I would highly recommend it; you will not be disappointed!

Canon NB-5L Battery Pack

Same performance as in-box battery supplied with my Canon IXUS 850IS - around 400 shots every charge.

An extra (charged)battery pack is vital accessory on long trips and tours.
