Not sure the logistics behind this, but my pair of adapters (I ordered 2 of them since I have 5 lenses) showed up in 3 days!Build quality is solid with my minolta lenses ranging from the 24mm, to the 150mm telefoto. I'm very happy with the build quality.Keep in mind that the little switch SLIDES to unlock from the body. It is NOT a push button.I'm using a Sony a6000 body, which has a crop sensor, so I'm getting extra perceived focal length with this lens/body/adapter combo.

Any possible way to use the camera, this kit will help you do it.

First thing to get out of the way is that if you need a DSLR mainly for photography (not videography) then you can't go wrong with this one. The thing that will make any difference in your photos/results is NOT the camera body; its your skills/vision/compositions AND the lenses you have. Save money on body, buy this cheaper unit and use your saving to buy a second lens (the 50mm f1.8 is a MUST HAVE).Now onto why i really like this camera:1. Obviously the price! Espacially when paying more does not get you much more. This is espacially true for people who are looking for their first DSLR. These camera and their accessories WILL get expensive. As i said, the camera body is where you can cut some corners without impacting your end-results much. Buying it during holidays saves you more with deals and packages floating around.2. Battery life: My first DSLR was a Rebel XSi. It was very good but the best part was battery life - outstanding! Later i upgraded to T1i and sold my XSi. The T1i offers higher resolution LCD screen BUT that also causes the battery to drain much faster. This T3 is infact sort of a clone of XSi - same resolution, same kind of LCD and yes, same great battery life!3. Light weight: Its also very light and won't cause any trouble even after a whole day of shooting/wearing this on your neck. If you pair it with a light-weight prime lens like 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 2.0 (i would highly recommend both) - the whole package becomes a light-weight amazing photos machine.4. Easy to use: Perfect for beginners and offers much room to grow/get serious with your stuff. If you are coming from a point-and-shoot, it can act like one where you don't have to worry about any settings at all.This is my 2nd body along with my T1i - notice that i did not call it a "backup camera" - it is infact one of my primary camera. I grab either one depending on which one has the lens mounted that i need at the moment.Final note: I was a Canon-guy and Canon was first to bring the affordable DSLR to market so i went with their product. If you are just starting, it might be worth looking at Nikon D3100 as i've heard that is a better entry-level camera. But if you already have a collection of Canon lenses (or like them more), this is your camera.

I wanted a camera body exactly like the camera I gave my husband for a birthday present in 2010 so that I could use my new big lens on it and he could still use the lens he wanted to use for landscapes without fighting about who got to use the camera. The camera body arrived quickly, was reasonably priced and worked just like the other one. I was very happy.

I'm giving this 4 stars - 5 stars for what it does, and 3 stars for the fiddly.I use a Panasonic Lumix G6 MFT camera, and use full-size DSLR lenses with adapters for telephoto along with the occasional adapter that doubles the focal length of the kit lens. Hey, I'm on a budget!The Booster absolutely performs as advertised. When I first got it, I noticed that it was, well, *plasticky* and didn't feel very strong. It came with two adapters for the hot shoe (which I promptly misplaced but found again), and full directions. It took a bit of fiddling with the shoe mounts to get it seated correctly on the camera. I found that the only way to get it to perform properly was with one of the shoe adapters. With an adapter and the Booster in place, miracles happen.Everybody knows that the pop-up flash that every camera comes with is pretty much crap. Well, this little item with the War of the Worlds looking fresnel lens solves a lot of the issues.This will not work with your regular kit lens. This is meant for telephoto distance shooting, and that's how it best performs. Anything shorter than telephoto means that you'll have a blown out white circle in the middle of your picture! Ask me how I know...The pros of this item are pretty simple: It gives your pathetic pop-up enough power to brighten telephoto pics. After the fiddly part is done, it works perfectly. And it's made in the USA. Boom.The cons are simple, too: Plasticky feel, but may be stronger than it seems. It works on telephoto and ONLY on telephoto. Wish that they'd make one for wide angle!So to sum it up, I'm completely happy with the device and like the way it works. I just wish that the fit and finish would give me a little more confidence in its longevity. If it lasts, I will update it to five stars.

I would give 5 stars, but the lens is very tight when installing on camera body.

I'm a real pro, I have lots of high end gear. I am not so foolish as to expect a $600 camera kit to perform like a $5,000 body paired with $2,000 or more lens. It does appear that there are a number critics here who expect exactly that and those people do not deserve a second of your time, they are really out of touch with reality.The M50 takes amazing stills and HD. On 4K it is said it crops it in, and yes, but it really depends what your goal is. For example if one wishes to do 360 video of small objects such as jewelry, well, this crop effect is exactly what you need. The M50 has a solid feel, a good grip even for bigger hands like mine, and yet it's enjoyably light weight, you can lug it all day and not know it's there, and at the same time you get images that just a few years ago would have required a big bulky expensive pro camera. I have no idea why anyone would complain other than out of pure ignorance, sadly there is plenty of that going round these days. The battery life is not great... so pack a few extras along. when coupled with the lens adaptor to use EF and EFS lenses I was delighted to find that I had no performance drag, and that my 60mm macro inherited the builtin IS in the M50s body... awesome. Well, there is no better camera for the money, period, not even close. I don't care what brand you look at, none of them come close to measuring up to the M50 until you go past $1,000 and up.

Have had my previous ones for.10 years so was afraid to.purchase. these are better than the first
