Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Photo
from: Canon


This is a good entry level telephoto zoom. Works fine for people like me who need telephoto lens only occasionally. Yes, it is all plastic and cheaply built, but that makes it very light weight. The auto focusing is a little bit slow, but this is what you can expect from a lens of this price. However, if you have large budget and will like to use a telephoto more often, go get yourself a better lens.

Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Photo

This camcorder is a joy to use. The video quality is really amazing especially for the price. This was my 2nd HD camcorder. The first was a convenience, impulse purchase of a Panasonic HD-9 from Costco. Took it back-the video wasn't very good and image stabilization didn't work.
Then I did a lot of research and concluded HF100 was for me. No HV30 because of tape issues and microphone picks up hi-pitch tape noise. No HF10 because SD cards are so cheap anyway.
This camera is easy to operate, though you will want practice if you plan to navigate through the plethora of very useful custom settings. The screen brightness is great, it's useable in even the brightest outdoor settings. The image stabilization is really terrific. If you have ... Read More:

Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Photo
from: Nikon


Without a decent flash you are at the whim of whatever light is available. Often times that light is simply inadequate to take a decent picture. The SB 600 (and 800/900) will increase your ability to take great pictures. Master the use of these and you may never need to visit a studio ever again. The only thing the studios have that 99% of us don't have is 100% control of lighting. A D40 + a 50/1.8 + a flash with a diffuser is all you really need to make great portraits.

The SB 600 is not a fun purchase for a lot of people, but it really is a requirement if you want to be serious about photography. Or, skip all this and buy a D700 and f/1.4 lens (about $3200 total) if you don't want a better flash.

Nikon Coolpix S Series Deluxe Leather Case

from: Nikon


I find the case to be well made and very functional. A snug fit secures the camera. I particularly like the magnetic closure. The closed loop on the back of the case requires threading the belt through a leather loop. I would have preferred an open hook type belt clasp.

Good value considering the overall quality.

Kodak EasyShare SV811 8-inch Digital Picture Frame

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Photo
from: Kodak


Got them for my parents and for the inlaws. Great picture, easy to use if you use a sd card, hard to use if you are trying to add it to your wireless network. It may be becuase my parents and inlaws have old wireless routers, but I really didnt have time to try to problem solve to make it work. Maybe this Christmas when we are visiting I will be able to set it up for them.

Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras

I don't have any problem with this flash, but I do have a problem with Amazon. It said that there is a fifty dollar coupon, so I assumed (incorrectly) that my price would the 370.00 less the coupon for 320.00 Low and behold I found out 370.00 was the price after the coupon. No one is selling this darned flash for 420.00. I wish flakey practices and gimmicks like this would stop. I'm really frustrated.
