Canon EOS 30D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens
Customer Review: Great bargain for a first/back up SLR
I bought this camera refurbished and have been quite happy with its overall performance. It compares to the 40D, but with less resolution. Does well when looking at the http://www.dxomark.com/ testing when compared to the Canon XXD series. I have shot rough 4000 clicks without a hitch. I find the lack of a sensor cleaner a drawback. LCD could be bigger/better, but I don't use it that much. I have owned the XTI and much prefer this cameras feel and handling, but have to say the image quality appears roughly equal. More import is a good glass!
Customer Review: Canon 30D
A superb camera. Excellent IQ. The only annoying feature for me is the On/Off switch which is on the rear of the camera and is fiddly if you have big hands! Excellent value.

Canon BG-E6 EOS 5D Mark II Battery Grip
Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to but too expensive
I have mixed feelings about this item. I shoot a lot of vertical portraits so this was a must however I don't really like it as it adds a lot of bulk to the camera and it's way too expensive. It should be $100. less. I simply do not use it unless I'm doing a portrait shoot. For everyday walking around or tripod work, it's too cumbersome. On the plus side, it feels fairly solid and should last the life of the camera.
Customer Review: Great product
Very good product! Comes with an extra magazine for AA batteries. Easy to install feels very solid. Remember to get an extra battery you are only purchasing the grip no an extra battery

Canon EOS Rebel Ti 35mm SLR Kit w/ 28-90mm Lens
Fast, accurate, and flexible, Rebel Ti's three autofocus systems (the camera chooses the best one automatically) free you to concentrate on your composition and to just have fun. Seven focusing points cover an area wider than any other camera in its class, letting you place your subject off-center or even focus on the area covered by multiple focus points.
The glare-free laser matte viewfinder displays seven wide-area focusing points, which are clearly superimposed to guide composition. There's also a dioptric adjustment so that prescription glasses can be removed for up-close comfort. The extralarge LCD panel is illuminated for clear viewing whatever the lighting conditions.
You can rely on Rebel Ti's automatic exposure system for professional results, but the camera's special exposure controls give you lots of room for experimentation. With the camera's multiple exposure control, you can place up to nine images in a single frame for impressive surrealistic compositions.
Shooting feels natural because the shutter button, AF point selector, main dial, command dial, and even the LCD panel's buttons are all within reach for one-handed operation. The command dial has seven preset image controls for work in various common shooting situations.
The lens mount is solid stainless steel to handle Canon's full line of world-renowned lenses. A built-in, automatic pop-up flash eliminates guesswork. It recycles for action quickly, and with a red-eye reduction lamp built right in, images are natural and flattering.
Customer Review: An excellent product for a beginner - to - intermediate
This is an excellent camera. It has helped me learn more about photography. The preset modes allow you to just point and shoot when you're in a rush, and the manual mode lets you get more creative. fast, accurate, versatile, durable. little bulky, but all SLR's are.
Customer Review: Excellent Camera, Fun to Use!
I've only have my Canon Ti for a week and I've already developed and purchased additional film (B&W). I was instantly impressed and amazed at the quality of pictures that I, as an amateur (and first-time camera owner) could produce. The color, sharpness, and realism portrayed in the film, along the light-weight, durable, and attractive camera body makes it a popular model, with no shock. I did a lot of personal research on modern day SLR 35mm cameras before I made my purchase and my eyes were instantly fixated on this model. The only reason that I did not give this camera a full 5-star review is that this is not the best camera on the market. Dispite the excellent monetary value, depth of use (a 60-page manual included!), and film quality that is produced, this camera is not the best out there, and obviously lacks digital properties. However, being a college student, and having a film camera in mind, this was the best choice for me; I'm a proud new Canon owner, I don't regret my purchase in the slightest, and I can't wait to take more pictures. All I personally recommend is: look for a better deal through Amazon's private dealers or on eBay, read the instruction manual, don't be intimidated, and have fun...this camera takes great pics, good shooting. ~S

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM AF Lens + Hoya UV Filter + Accessory Kit for Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, EOS 30D, 40D, 5D Digital SLR Cameras
1) Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM AF Lens
2) Hoya G Series 58mm UV Filter
3) Precision Design ET-65B Lens Hood
4) LensPen Lens Cleaning System
5) Precision Design Deluxe 6-Piece Lens & Digital SLR Camera Cleaning Kit
The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom lens has been developed to meet the high-performance standards that today's photographers demand. The telephoto effect can make the picture look compressed or have excellent background blur. At the 300mm focal length, you can fill the frame with a postcard from 4.9' away. This lens is ideal for sports, portraiture, animals, etc. Improved Image Stabilizer Technology provides up to three stops of "shake" correction, and the "Mode 2" option stabilizes images while panning with a moving subject.
The Hoya Ultraviolet UV Filter absorbs ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. It should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide additional protection.
The Precision Design ET-65B Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of extra impact protection.
The LensPen's unique design makes cleaning your lens fast, simple and effective. On one end, a retractable soft brush sweeps dust and loose particles away from the glass. On the other end, a special dry cleaning compound is used to gently remove fingerprints and spots.
This 6-piece cleaning kit contains a hurricane air blower, Lens Cleaning Tissue, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.
Customer Review: Canon EF 70-300
This lens kit arrived in good shape and with all the scheduled accessories. The lens is used by my wife who is a good amateur photo bug. She is very impressed with the ease of use and the clarity of the images. It works well with her Rebel XTi camera. The image stabilization works well.
Customer Review: Excellent kit!
I purchased the kit about 3 weeks ago. The lens is quite big and heavy but I was astonished by the pictures it takes. The zoom is incredible and the IS is greate. Although its not designed for macro or portraits the results were amazing. I used the lens in disney world and the performance was outstanding. I think this lens is a must in your canon back pack.
