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.

I had researched both Cannon and Nikon cameras when I decided to upgrade to a SLR. I already owned a Rebel 35mm camera and knew what kind of pictures it took, but like the ease of a digital. Came across someone who had a Cannon XT. It looked alot like my 35m. Long story short, I bought the XSi. It is wonderful. I like that it is easy to use, but gives you professional quality pictures. The biggest selling point for me was that I could you use my lense from my 35mm. The one thing I wish was available, not necessarily for this camera but for any digital SLR is a guide to lenses and attachments to enhance the capapbilites of this great camera. It was a great purchase on my part. I like that the SLRs are available at an affordable price for someone who takes and shares alot of pictures, but not necessarily a professional photograhpher. However, this camera will make your pictures look professional.

I bought this camera almost a year ago and it has been great! This is my first SLR, always had a point and shoot and it has served me well with over 2500 pictures taken. Not all of them have been great but I suppose that is me, not the camera! by the way I used a Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM lens instead of the kit lens and highly recommend it also.......

I've used this with my 35mm f/1.4 E-Mount . By far, this polarizer has not came off my lens when i took it out for travelling to Hawaii. It gave my shots more contrast, darkens the highlights to the point where I can use the image and of course, see through reflections. As a polarizer, it does what most polarizers do, I definitely would recommend this filter!Highlights:- Tiffen helps with maintaining the sharpness- Blocks reflections- Ups the contrasts in your shots and reduces highlights

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

This is an excellent camera for all users such as me. I had a Yashica camera with film. For years I was resisting to get into the digital world. Now, with this camera, I am totally sure I was too late to change. It's an excellent image with those 12mp.

Product arrived on time and damage free. This was a small present for my Son and his 35mm SLR Camera. Lens cap is awesome. Thanks Team! I’m happy.

This is one of those situations where it's hard to compare apples to apples. I don't know how far Amazon will let me take this, but while most cameras sell for less in the USA than in shops 500 feet from the factory they were made in, the EOS M3 is an exception. So I'll just say that at the current US prices, the Sony cameras are a better value (although the M3 does take better pictures than the RX100 series because the M3 has a full APS sensor.)Now, at the right price, the EOS M3 is outstanding. It does not have the dynamic range of the Sonys and it's a bit noiser in low light. But when it comes to capturing fine detail and not regretting that you left your SLR at home, the M3 is great. With the APS sensor, it's essentially a tiny APS SLR anyway.Two of the four lenses are outstanding. The 22mm f/2 is excellent and and the 11-22 f/4-5.6 is terrific and includes image stabilization. The 11-22 is the one lens in the system that's worth the money even at US prices. The 18-55 and 55-200 lenses are pretty good but probably not a justification for buying an EOS M camera.The focusing speed is much improved over the EOS M and M2 but still too slow for action. OTOH, I have yet to use a mirrorless camera that focuses anywhere near as fast as the cheapest SLR so if you want to shoot sports or race cars, mirrorless will make your life difficult, compared to just using an SLR.The M3 body is very solid and kind of heavy, to be honest. The only part that seems a little delicate is the fold-out-up screen. Unlike the original EOS M, the M3 has knobs or buttons for most things so if you've found the touch screen making it's own adjustments every time you grab the camera, this can now be avoided.Using non-EOS M lenses. Yes, you can use your Canon EF lenses with the beautifully made adapter than Canon sells. And they'll have full AF. Some people think this is great, but focusing is still slower than with the dedicated "M" lenses and honestly, the size/weight difference between most EF lenses and the EOS M body make this kind of a jury rig, in my opinion. There is however, a great alternative. Since the M3 has an excellent focus peaking display, you can use just about any lens that will fit on the camera ($10 adapters on eBay) and focus faster and just as accurately the old fashioned way, by hand.Lack of a viewfinder. The M3 is small camera. Sony found a way to pack a viewfinder into a camera that you first have to pop up to get access to. There's no good answer because (a) there's no place to put a viewfinder on the M3 except in the shoe and (b) good viewfinders are really expensive and the same people who insist on having one won't pay for it. Canon knows that adding an additional $200 to this camera is out of the question so there is an accessory electronic finder available. I got a kit overseas with all the pieces and I have to say while there is nothing wrong with the "EVF" I rarely use it. So maybe I didn't need a viewfinder after all, although I suppose Canon might make a super EOS M at some point, for people willing to pay Fuji prices.Other stuff. The built-in flash works and can be tilted a little. The output is small, but if the idea is to carry as little as possible at least you don't need to bring a separate flash to take photos of people at the dinner table. Selfie-screen and 2-axis level--nice. 18-55 lens--perfectly ok if you stop down but you do yourself a disservice to have just this one average lens. 55-200 lens--Quite good at 200mm; a little less so at 55. Still, it's small, image stabilized and light as a feather. Its not fast, which is why it's light as a feather; can't have it both ways. (55-200 has a plastic mount, no idea why they cut this corner. Shame on you, Canon!)I guess that's it. The video looks good to me. Not as good as my 5D3 but good for the occasional use I put it to. To summarize, on paper, the EOS M3 might not sound so spectacular. People who want the latest innovations, useful or not, will probably want to look elsewhere. Web sites and self-proclaimed "experts" thrive on the newest whiz-bang and there's not much of that here. But the ratio of camera size to image quality on the EOS M3 is really impressive and at the right price it's a very underrated camera.
