I order these case for my Canon 50D and the material, and is just first rate. The tripod is smart and from good material. It’s a very good kit.
Canon Zoom Pack 1000

This lens is regarded as one of the best three prime lenses that Canon produce (Along with 85mm f/1.2 L USM and 35mm f/1.4 L USM).

The images from this lens are very sharp, contrasty and show a lot of details even in wide open at f/2. The depth of field is very shallow at f/2. As a result, the background will be compressed.

Because of that features, Canon 135mm is ideal for portrait, especially candid portrait, street photography and indoor sports.

Build quality is very good, the best Canon can made. The lens is not as big and heavy as telephoto zoom.

But unfortunately, this lens does not have Image Stabilization built-in. Image stabilization in telephoto is quite important so you can shoot with shutter speed lower than the focal length X crop multiplier. For example, when you attach this lens into crop sensor camera such as Canon Rebel series or X0D series, then you need to set a shutter speed to at least 1/200 or greater to get a tack sharp result. It is also depend on how steady your hand is. If you have steady hand, then 1/160 will be adequate.

This lens have a decent closing focus (1m) this is better than most of the telephoto zoom range. You can also get a extension tube to get the focusing even closer (.6m with 2x extension tube). Therefore, this lens will be quite good for macro photography.

Application
The application of the lens will be quiet narrow. Candid photography is one in my mind when I think about this lens. It is because the telephoto range, maximum aperture, and the size is not that big and obtrusive.

The second one will be close-up and head-shoulder portraiture, and then for indoor sports such as volleyball, basketball and so on.

The downside
This lens does not have a wide range of application because the inflexibility of fixed focal length lens (prime lens).

Although the focusing is quite fast, but it is not as fast as EF 50mm f/1.4 USM or EF 85mm f/1.8 USM. The AF tracking is poor. So in the fast action sport, expect to miss some shot
Canon EF 135mm f

Simply put, this cable works perfectly, and the price can’t be beaten. I got myself 3 of these babies.
Canon EOS Rebel XSI

It works fairly well so far. Picks up all that dust and lint quite nicely. Only complaints is that when you use the extension hose, the brush keeps spinning on the ground, so it kicks up dust through the uncovered hose connector. Kind of nasty so I found myself resistant to using hose while still on carpet…and there is not check bag indicator on this tempo model. But ya know it was under 70 bucks so…
Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12

I bought the card with a camera, works just as it should would buy again.
Canon ET 60 Lens

…could not ask for more. Everything you ever wanted in a digital camera portable printer. Everything it says it is and does. This is the perfect product for digital cameras.
Canon KP 36IP Paper

This novel is one of the few that I wanted to read again. I did go back to reread parts of it. It is revealing and depicts a part of our history that is shameful. The plot is riveting; I could not put it down.
Canon PowerShot A495 Digital

I purchased this instead of an iPhone – No way can I justify $80/mo. I don’t need that much phone.

I am loving my iTouch and am discovering more apps to play with.

I am not giving this 5 stars for the following:

The sound without separate speakers is poor.
The battery life is abysmal. You need to be tethered to some power source in order to use it for any length of time.

Still – I love, love, love this!
Canon EF 28 135mm

Pros: love all the storage & tons of available apps. It looks great & keeps the kids busy on long trips. Perfect for catching that missed episode I was dying to see. No need to take a laptop on vacation – use it for email & web surfing wherever there’s wifi!

Cons: battery life is very short. After doing some Google-ing on that I changed the brightness setting and keep the wifi turned off until I’m actually trying to connect for something. That improved the battery life quite a bit, but it could still be better.

Just a comment on sensitive & expensive electronics – if you know you’re going to buy one, go ahead and get a cover to protect it a bit. They’re very inexpensive, and why take a chance?

I love my itouch! Eventually when iphones are available w/ my cell phone provider I’ll just get an iphone & let the kids keep the itouch – then we’ll ALL be happy!

2 Pack Of Canon

I have 2 copies, one for the house and one for the car. I have read this book over and over. I’m just kinda crazy about it. I found out that Kennedy’s and John Lennon’s assassins and the guy who shot Reagan all had copies of this book. Kinda creepy but still a good, fun read.
