from: Canon

April 16, 2007
I recently bought the 1.4 (50mm) lens and despite loving the focus on it, i needed something more versatile. 1.8 was the answer - it's a fantastic portrait lens for crazily good price!

Lowepro Rezo 160 Shoulder Bag For Digital SLR & 1-2 Lenses - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Film Camera Accessories
from: Lowepro

March 17, 2006
The Lowepro Rezo 160 shoulder bag is an excellent solution to carrying your digital camera and its accessories safely while still allowing you easy access to your equipment when you need it. The bag holds my Panasonic DSLR and all of my equipment (excluding tripod) perfectly and offers brilliant protection with its well padded, soft and customisable interior. The waterproof cover is excellent. It's hidden out of the way when you'll not using it and takes only a few seconds to easily pull it out and over the bag. More to the point it works well, I've tried it out in moderate rain but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to have it out too long on very heavy rain (but I'm pretty sure it would be fine.) The bag is very comfy to carry, short or long distance it won't ... Read More:

This bag just about holds my 450D, my only concer is i would have wanted it to be a little smaller, but that may be because im not a day to day user of my camera. For someone with an extra lens and if they are daily users then this is really good

Canon Remote Controller RC-1

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Film Camera Accessories
from: Canon

August 14, 2003
Yes its nice and small, but what nobody has pointed out (i found out after i bought one) is that its only good for about 200mm distance from behind the camera (assuming your infra Red receiver on the camera is at the front. I have a Canon 450D and the receiver is front right ie near the hand grip.
This is no good for taking a picture from a few meters behind the camera.
Very disappointing as this isn't pointed out anywhere.
Ive now bought the Radio wireless remote (about £20+del) and that works to a max distance of 100m.
If you just want to use this remote right at the camera or infront, you'll be fine.
UPDATE.: used my new radio wireless remote now, and its awesome for my use, works from anywhere, never missed a click, and doesnt need to be in ... Read More:

Nikon 55-200MM F4.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX Black Lens

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Film Camera Accessories
from: Nikon

April 20, 2008
Lens is excellent - service provided by the seller Allcam first rate let down only by the staggering incompetence of the delivery courier Citylink who managed to attempt to deliver to the wrong address twice in succession.

Now e-commerce is a fantastic retail development but it depends on the reliability of the carrier. This one, Citylink in Northern Ireland should be avoided at all costs - they are eyewateringly inept and their customer service is a disgrace. By all means buy online folks but avoid this courier service like the plague!

Logitech Cordless 2.4 GHz Presenter - Presentation remote control - radio

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Film Camera Accessories
from: Logitech


Logitech is a company that you have to respect, you can buy their products with folded eyes. I bought this presenter after an extensive research since I'm a technologist and for me, buying technology is the most tedious process ever. After I opened the package and inserted the batteries I plugged the USB dungle into my XP machine and it just worked with PowerPoint with zero hassle, the more exciting bit is when I plugged it into my Linux Ubuntu laptop with OpenOffice ... exactly the same, works straight out of the box. I would happily give this product 5 stars ... it looks professional, it feels professional ... simply fantastic !!!

Hoya 58mm Circular Polarizing Filter

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Film Camera Accessories
from: Hoya


I'm not a professional photographer but own a Canon 400D SLR. I was very disappointed with my landscape shots until I bought this beauty.

As a hobbyist I wanted the lovely polarization of my outdoor shots but didn't want to break the bank to get it- this Hoya filter is perfect for that. Construction is sturdy, screws on easily, and adjusting it is smooth.

For this little cash if you own a DSLR and take outdoor shots you need this in your life!

Nikon SB-600 Speedlight

In case you were in any doubt, the Nikon SB-600 is the flash to buy for your Nikon D-SLR!

The highlights:
- Well made, quality feel. Nicely balanced on my Nikon D40
- Enough power to light every subject I have thrown at it
- Auto I-TTL setting makes fill-in flash easy
- Managed over 250 shots on one set of rechargeable batteries
- Team it with a Sto-fen omnibounce for soft shadows
- The light it produces seem quite 'warm' for a flash
