I am impressed with this flash. It works with all my old 35mm film cameras as well as my new digital SLR cameras. I can tell you it is a conversation piece for sure. If you have a tourist photography business, this would be ideal to get more clients. When using this flash, it tends to draw people in and ask questions and they want their picture taken. If you are a wedding photographer, add this to your gear and see what happens! This flash works great too. It is a good solid flash with a lot of pizzazz! I highly recommend this flash.

This is my first digital SLR camera and I have to say I could not be happier with it. With a little playing around I was able to start getting professional quality pictures in no time at all. I upgraded from a Lumix point and shoot camera and I can't believe the difference in quality. I highly recommend this as a first DSLR camera.Pros:Camera functions easily right out of the bag with a half charged battery.Buttons are easy to read and nice and big.Camera displays what each setting does on the viewing screen. Great feature for novices like myself.Very light weight.Battery last forever!Takes photos very fast and focuses quickly.Cons:None

Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras









 Great Flash! fast, reliable, versatile, and the list goes on. I use rechargeable batteries for superior service -works GREAT!!!

Digital correction is applied heavily on R mount canon cameras with this lens, but the end result is excellent. It’s not perfect.. coma is obvious with Astro-photography. But for the price, TINY size and weight.. I love it !! Ditching my old 16-35 in favour of this little gem.

I've been using this camera for over a couple of months now and I believe that it is great for anyone who wants to go into photography or just wants to take better family photos. But one thing I do advise is that you learn how the camera works, because it isn't just any regular point and shoot camera. I am a student who is interested in photography so I already know how to use SLR cameras, but for a person who is inexperienced or isn't as knowledgeable with SLR cameras, I think you should buy it with caution or awareness that you will need to either play around with it or just ask your local camera store for help, because even I am learning new and new things as I start using this more. Overall, I think this camera is definitely a must!!!! I appreciated the fact that I also received a camera case, an SD card, and the plug to go with the camera, because I know some sellers make you pay for those items separately.

This is my first digital SLR, and I have immensely enjoyed thus far. I bought this one because the price was palatable, and it had been recommended to me by several friends. I have not been disappointed. I am learning a lot about photography in general right now, and I feel that this is a great camera to learn on.

For quite some time I was wanting to get a digital SLR camera, because I was sick and tired of the shutter lag that regular digital cameras have. Though I was happy with the pictures my Konica Minolta Dimage Z10 made - especially outdoors, I dreaded to make pictures indoors or trying to capture moving objects on picture (now you see me, now you don't).So I was contemplating for month which digital SLR I wanted and needed. Since this is my first camera of this kind and I'm merely a hobby fotographer, I didn't want to shell out several grands. But I wanted something that had enough "oomph" to it to justify the price tag. So I looked into the Canon Rebel XTi, Nikon D40, Olympus E30 and Olympus E50. The thing I didn't like about the Olympus was the fact, that it seems that I had to buy Olympus picture cards and they are kinda pricy.So I went back and forth between the Canon Rebel XTi and the Nikon D40. Then I looked into the XSi and read the repords on amazon.com and other sites, compared both Canon cameras side by side. After a week or two I finally decided to spend a bit more but have a few more extras with my camera.And I had a lot of fun in the last few days with this camera. I can take pictures with it, that come out clear and vivid even in lower light indoors. I would have had smudgy blurrs with my other camera under the same condition. Right now I am only using the Canon lens EF 50 f/1.8 II for it's higher sensitivity to light, but wait until I go on vacation to Northern Germany in 2 weeks and I will try out the lens that came with the camera. Can't hardly wait!In a nutshell: So far I haven't regreded my desicion to buy this camera!To see a few pictures that I took in the first couple of days owning this camera using this lens

For someone who is used to a non-digital SLR, you will feel right at home with this one. All the same functions are there, just shown on a menu to select electronically, instead of with manual adjustments. You can use this as a point-and-shoot digital, or you can play to your heart's content. The lens is great, and you can add a telephoto lens if you want. It will take some learning for someone whose only experience is with a digital, but is a good choice for someone who wants to convert to digital from manual without losing all the versatility of the SLR camera.
