Canon Rebel T3i vs. 60D vs. 7D

Canon has unveiled the EOS T3i (known in Europe as the EOS 600D) upper entry-level DSLR. It continues to use the 18MP CMOS sensor seen in the Rebel T2i (550D) but gains a tilt and swivel 1,040k dot LCD monitor like the one offered on the more expensive 60D. It also gains the ability to remotely control flashguns using its internal flash, a feature previously only featured on higher-end models. Alongside the camera, Canon is also launching the 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II, a cosmetically revised version of its optically stabilized kit lens.

High Resolution Still Capture

18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high image quality and speed. 

The EOS Rebel T3i has an 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops. This first-class sensor features many of the same new technologies as used by professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel’s light-gathering efficiency. Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).

DIGIC 4 Image Processor

The Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up the entire EOS Rebel T3i DSLR’s camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements in both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel T3i DSLR’s CMOS Image Sensor to achieve phenomenal levels of performance in nearly any situation.

Amazing Results, No Matter the Light.

ISO 100 – 6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light. 

The EOS Rebel T3i features an expanded ISO range that makes shooting possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. With an ISO rating up to 6400 (expandable to ISO 12800), along with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor's improved noise-reduction technology, creative possibilities abound. Combine the EOS Rebel T3i with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer and the shooting possibilities for both movies and stills expand even further.

HD Dreams Come True. 

Improved EOS Full HD Movie mode with manual exposure control, expanded recording [1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 30 (29.97), 24 (23.976) and 25.0 frames per second] with new Movie Digital zoom and Video Snapshot features for enhanced video shooting options. 

The EOS Rebel T3i does not just shoot video clips, it offers the enhanced ease-of-use, image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation necessary in a professional video-making tool by boasting the most advanced EOS video capturing features to date:  When Full HD (1920 x 1080) is set, you can use Movie Digital Zoom to magnify the center of the image by 3–10x while at the same time maintaining gorgeous Canon Full HD image quality. With the Video Snapshot feature, the EOS Rebel T3i DSLR will capture short video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) then combine them automatically into one video file as a snapshot or highlights “album.” With no editing needed after shooting, the compiled video is perfect for sharing online or displaying directly on an HDTV via the camera’s HDMI port.

In addition to a number of different recording size and frame rate modes, the EOS Rebel T3i enables easy manual control of exposure, focus and Live View features and even allows for in-camera editing. The large CMOS sensor and compatibility with over 60 lenses provide a wealth of depth-of-field options. And it’s all as easy as the press of a button — the EOS Rebel T3i has a dedicated Live View/Movie Recording start/stop button that gets the shooting started fast.

Three Recording Sizes 

Full HD Video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30p (29.97), 24p (23.976) or 25p frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Video are saved as .MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50p/60p (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (30p (29.97) and 25p fps).

Low Angles or High, a Big Vari-angle LCD Captures All the Details. 

Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor (3:2) for shooting at high or low angles and 1,040,000-dot VGA with reflection reduction using multi coating and high-transparency materials for bright and clear viewing. 

The EOS Rebel T3i features a bright, high resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor for shooting at a variety of angles. By simply rotating the monitor, you can hold the camera directly overhead for above-the-crowd shots at concerts, or hold the camera at a low angle for kids and pets. By rotating the LCD monitor fully, the EOS Rebel T3i becomes the ideal camera for self-portraits. The EOS Rebel T3i freely enables easy angle adjustments even if the camera is mounted on a tripod or has a battery grip attached.

Model used is not EOS Rebel T3i and is used to illustrate vari-angle feature only.

With 1,040,000 (dots/VGA) pixels for spectacular detail, the advanced, smudge-resistant monitor includes high transparency materials plus anti-reflective and water-repellant coatings to provide clear and bright viewing. Superb for reviewing, editing and deleting photos or composing new images in Live View function, the Vari-angle Clear View LCD monitor is also the perfect means for accessing camera settings like ISO, metering modes, AF Point selection, the horizontal Electronic Level and flash options.

Automatic Scene Analysis for Standout Color. 

New Scene Intelligent Auto mode and Picture Style Auto incorporating the new EOS Scene Detection System to capture beautiful scenes with ease. 

The EOS Rebel T3i DSLR’s new Scene Intelligent Auto mode unites five Canon digital camera technologies – the new Picture Style Auto, plus Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure –into a powerful new feature for photographers. Using the advanced EOS Scene Detection System, the camera automatically analyzes the image, taking into account faces, colors, brightness, movement and contrast. Scene Intelligent Auto then chooses the enhancing features to deliver maximum impact. Blues and greens are more vivid, “hot” colors are more fiery, and skin tones are smooth and truer to life.

Intelligent Scene Analysis for Superb Exposure. 

Enhanced metering with a 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system for accurate metering between exposures, and 9-point AF system utilizing a high precision, f/2.8 cross-type center point. 

The EOS Rebel T3i features a sophisticated, 63-zone Dual-layer sensor designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an advanced level of accuracy for better results even in difficult lighting situations. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T3i gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as in a theater or concert hall. This makes the EOS Rebel T3i ideal for scenes with extreme difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot. Since the EOS Rebel T3i provides high-speed X-sync (“X-sync” means the fastest shutter speed that can synchronize with a flash burst at the moment the shutter is fully released) up to 1/200 sec., the range of photographic expression is dramatically increased, allowing the EOS Rebel T3i to be used with confidence in bright scenes or dim.

Make Your Images As You See Them. 

Express your creativity with advanced imaging features like Basic+ function, Multi-Aspect function and Creative Filters.

Basic+ is a new creative imaging feature that makes it easy to create the image effects you want. It can be set with the Quick Control screen in Basic Zone modes. Basic+ provides two options:

Shoot by ambience selection

Based on the Picture Style and its parameters (sharpness, contrast, saturation, and color tone), the exposure compensation and white balance correction are adjusted to attain the selected ambience. You can also can also select the strength of the ambience effect.

Shoot by lighting or scene type

Although the actual parameter set is the white balance, the settings are expressed in more understandable terms.

The Multi-Aspect Function of the EOS Rebel T3i lets you express an image in one of three ways by matching the aspect ratio to each scene. In addition to the camera’s standard 3:2 ration, the Multi-Aspect Function includes a 1:1 ratio that creates the sensation that the viewer's gaze is focusing upon the center of the image. At the 4:3 ratio, you get nearly the same aspect ratio as a regular TV or a 4:3 computer display. The 16:9 aspect ratio provides a wide look, much the same as HDTV.

The EOS Rebel T3i incorporates five in-camera Creative Filters so you can artistically manipulate scenes without the aid of an outside computer. Soft Focus lends a dreamy, romantic aspect, while Grainy Black and White gives a dramatically gritty, hard-bitten look. Miniature Effect creates an illusion in which expansive subjects are seemingly reduced to doll-house-like proportions, and Toy Camera Effect recreates the colors and softness rendered by cameras with a plastic lens, an effect often sought after by art photographers. Fish Eye Effect mimics the “Fisheye” lenses that are favorites of professional photographers for their quirky, convex perspective.

Never Miss a Moment. 

3.7 fps continuous shooting up to approximately 34 JPEGs or approximately 6 RAW. 

The EOS Rebel T3i can shoot up to 3.7 frames per second (fps) for up to approximately 6 consecutive RAW files or approximately 34 full-resolution JPEGs. Shooting at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec., the EOS Rebel T3i can capture even rapidly-unfolding scenes with ease.

Great pool for little ones

We bought this pool for our 16 month old twins. They LOVE it. It is a nice size - roomy enough for 5. I can't imagine blowing it up manually, but it inflates in under 2 minutes using the air compressor. It has nice size drain plugs that are difficult enough to open that the kids can't get it open "accidentally." The part behind the slide is a separate compartment that can be filled independantly from the rest of the pool so it can be made deeper or more shallow.

Having aired the slide up via aircompressor it worked fine with wet kids and the sprinkler jets on for our 25-28lb kids. They slid so well that it would have been nice if the end of the slide was a little further from the edge of the pool.

The edge height is great - high enough to fill the pool up 6 inches or so, but low enough that the kids can still easily get out on their own.

The sprinkler jets have a built in control valve which is nice as it keeps you from having to run back and forth to the hose valve. Keep in mind though that the water is under pressure so it takes some time for the water to respond to changes. It is also hard to adjust the valve in small increments (we wanted it up just a little, but kept getting it too high or too low when making adjustments. We also have a section of sprinklers that tends to spray out instead of in the pool, but that might have something to do with the fact that the area isn't 100% level.

I can't speak to longevity as we have only had it for a couple of weeks, but thus far it seems to be holding air well (we haven't even had to top it off). Even if we had to replace it every summer for the price and amount of time we have spent in it it would be well worth it.

Overall - really great buy. Wish I had bought this one first!

Fun for 3 and under, don't buy it for the slide

Ocean Play Center, 100" x 77" x 31" - Just attach a garden hose and you're set for summer! Fun, bright colors and the cutest designs for hours of splashing play.

• Two pools in one: small pool and larger wading pool
• Includes water slide and inflatable palm tree
• Includes control valve to adjust water flow, drain plugs in both pools
• Repair Patch included
• Hours of fun for the whole family

My son is 3 years old and he loves this pool. He is a big kid, he wears a size 5T, just so you know, but he cannot use the slide. Actually, my 20-pound baby daughter also cannot use the slide. It is pretty much worthless, so don't buy it for that. It can't hold up even a baby, and even if it could, it's plastic so it isn't slippery even with water on it. However, the rest of the pool is very nice, and I like that it has a little square section that you can have a little more shallow for a younger one. She's kind of protected in there from the splashings of the older one. It's a relatively large pool for a kiddie pool, too. And it's very nice that it also can be a sprinkler if you want. You blow up the sides with air, and you can just leave it that way or you can add a hose and the outer walls become sprinklers. All in all, it's a very nice pool and we're happy with it. The palm tree actually stands up pretty well too. Just make sure to point the leaves down instead of up, that helps it stand.

Just Too Cool

The Port-A-Cool PAC2KCYC01 Portable Evaporative Cooling Unit is one of most efficient ways to keep cool,indoors or out! You can rely on this Portable Evaporative Cooler for all cooling needs during those hot summer months. The unit is extremely powerful and cools with no harmful refrigerants! Its large airflow capacity allows for superior cooling that can cover up to 700-Square Ft. lowering the temperature 15 to 25 Degree. The Portable Evaporative Cooling Unit is extremely easy to prepare with built-in hose connection. Its 16-Gallon water reservoir can also be manually filled and provides cold air for up to 6 hours. Super portable and easy to move with its heavy-duty casters, it comes complete with a one year manufacturer's warranty for added peace of mind. Remember the chill of getting out of a swimming pool on a hot day? That's evaporative cooling. 

Evaporative cooling units create this natural effect and provide a constant flow of cool, refreshing air into hot, uncomfortable environments. The heart of this evaporative cooling system is the evaporative KUUL Pads. A pump pushes water over the pads and a fan pulls the air through the pads.

I was already interested in these Port-A-Coolers when the company I work for shipped in an entire set of every PAC cooler in production at the time, and I was then convinced on their effectiveness at bringing the temp down to normal, considering our scant amount of cooling already built-in was in need of a serious boost.

This will be my third Cyclone now. I'm getting such good service from my other two that I found yet one more excuse to order a third. I had to decide between it and the variable speed 16-Inch model, and since the pricing is a little steep just to have a variable speed, the final choice at half the price was a no-brainer.

I use a couple of the variable speed models at work and it is very convenient to adjust down fan speed to compensate for changing temperatures rather than letting fan noise override normal sound levels that for me, eventually becomes quite irritating, especially when not really necessary. At slower speeds, the fans are whisper silent and still force out a sufficient supply of refreshing, cool air.

Otherwise the squirrel cage blower offered by the Cyclone design allows for a little quieter operation over the standard fan models, especially in a comparison when each is turned up to warp speed. I have been using my Cyclones at home for three years now and am still amazed at how they work so well on low speed on those scorching hot summer days that confine me to the indoors but have me wearing a sweat shirt to avoid catching a cold. You get a better understanding of why they work so well in dry heat after using them for awhile.

I'm just doing a little dream wishing right now, but there are two things I would like to see eventually that should be easy for PAC to add to the Cyclone units:

* Variable speed Cyclones

* Remote control operation

Now wouldn't that be just TOO COOL?

We have a four and five year old that do not yet know how to swim, so I was looking for a pool that would be deeper than an inflatable but not too deep to be over their heads. It has worked out great so far. The purchase and delivery was of great ease through Amazon as well as accessories. The area where the pool was to be located needed to be graded and so we did. We thought all was good and started filling the pool when we realized it was not level all around. The instructions were very explicit in getting it level or the water instability could compromise the structure of the entire pool. So we pulled it all up and re-thought our leveling plan, this time using a level to precise measurements as well as adding sand directly under the pool area to give a softer feel under the feet and to help protect the life of the liner. Once that was done, we laid a 6 mil blue tarp to cover the entire area. Then we covered the tarp with pea gravel to fill the surrounding area adding stepping stones all around the pool. It has been a great addition to our summer fun! We did also purchase the Intex floating chlorine tablet dispenser = awesome! We got a $10 flat net from a local store which has more than served to skim out debris. We also purchased the Intex Magnetic Led Lights which are super bright and work perfectly with the pool as suggested.

So to recap: 1. Leveling the ground area was the greatest difficulty but highly essential to properly maintain the life of the pool. 2. The assembly of the pool was quite simple and only needed two people in the end stages. 3. The pool was filled in about an hour and the filter assembly was also of great ease. 4. We did purchase extra filters which will be needed since this pools filter pump is so minimal and the filter will get dirty quick.

I would also like to add that although I did see several very negative reviews, I purchased any way because the seller I purchased from was a Prime seller and Amazon has the best sellers and return processes. I truly do not think this company would still be in business if their products were as bad as the 1 star reviews. I also believe that if you handle with care and follow directions as precisely as possible, you will have no problems!!!

We have had this pool for two summers. We have had the blow up ring type pool in the past (took it down in the winter and put it back up in the spring; pump died the end of the second summer). I like this pool better. We purchased the pool in the late fall of 2007 and put the pool up the spring of 2008 on level ground. We do minor cleaning almost every day before the kids go for a swim - we have a lot of trees near the pool. We run the pump and filter almost 24/7. We live near Atlanta and left the pool up through the winter. The pool was covered and maintained through the winter. 

We drained, cleaned and refilled it this spring. Pool chemicals are a little expensive, but you'll need them for any pool. We have the water tested at a pool supply store in early spring and add the needed chemicals. The rest of the year is just the shocks and tablets. We have two boys and a girl; their friends come over and swim often. The pool is used four or five days a week (or more). We have had no problems with the pool itself. The hoses to the filter pump started leaking where they bend to be attached to the pool mid summer this year. 

I was able to fix them with some water proof tape. The pump died a couple of days ago - that's why I'm on amazon looking for a new pump. Remember the pump was on almost 24/7 for 17 months. For the price we paid for the pool, I feel it held up well (you get what you pay for). I'm going to replace the pump and hope the pool will last at least one more year, maybe two. All the minor maintenance and cleaning is done by the wife and kids (I made that clear before we bought it). 7/30/09

Apartment hot? Yes. Little money? Yes. Then this fan is for you!!

Ok, so I bought this fan about a month ago. I live in a studio apartment in hot LA on the top floor. I have no ac and no ceiling fans, I also can't put a window ac unit in and couldn't afford a $400 portable ac unit. After having tried multiple different floor fans that did absolutely nothing I decided to try this fan.

This fan is a godsend for me because it makes my apartment bearable most of the time. I lean it against my window and it circulates the hot air out instead of just around the room like regular fans. On some occasions it almost feels as if I had ac. Now this is very rarely, but it has happened.

I recommend this fan 100%. It doesn't make my whole apt cool, mainly the area right around it but for the price you can't expect a miracle. So if you are broke and hot definitely get this fan!!

This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan is versatile, lightweight and economical. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in your house or office. This Air Cooler shoots a stream of air with oscillating louvers, to evenly distribute refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. - plus get the air cleaning benefits of the ionic air purifier. The remote control allows you to easily change settings. The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so this evaporative Air Cooler sucks air through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature! This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy. The unit works well in dry climates; not very effective in areas with high humidity as the unit utilizes water to cool.

Inexpensive cooling

First off, this is NOT an air conditioner. If you expect your room to be freezing cold, this is not the product for you. It's a COOLER, and it does its job very well. It works by evaporating water. Try soaking a T-shirt, wringing it out, and putting it on wet to get the effect. It doesn't work very well in humid areas, but it works GREAT where the air is dry.

I'm in southern California, where the humidity varies pretty widely. I place the cooler six or eight feet from my chair, and on the hottest days I'm quite comfortable.

Benefits:

* it's about 1/5 the cost of an air conditioner

* operating expense is a fraction of the cost of air conditioning

* neat features! (timer, sleep function, etc.)

* remote control

Drawbacks:

* it's not freezing cold like air conditioning.

Works great in Colorado, even in 100 degree weather

I noticed all the bad reviews on evaporative coolers but having lived in a dry climate most of my life (Colorado), I can tell you this is a high quality EC and any decent EC will work fine if you follow a couple of rules. Please understand these are coming from people in non-humid climates or people who are in dry climates and don't understand how these work differently than ACs.

TIP 1: Leave two windows cracked open for cross ventilation - This would be stupid if we were talking about AC's but if a EC is left running in a closed up house or room, it will make the room humid and not cool it down. You want to have dry (outdoor) air come in through the EC so it cools down the air and blows it through the room. When it cools the air down, it makes a little more humid than it was before so you also want a cross draft so the warm air and any humidity has a place to escape. I put my EC about a foot in front of a cracked window so it gets a fresh supply of dry air and I leave another window cracked open on the other side of the room so warm and humid air will escape. If it gets very hot outside I sometimes close the cracked windows until it gets a little too humid for my liking then open them again - this method works well for me but your milage may vary.

TIP 2: Use ice water in the water reservoir - Putting ice and or cooling packs in the reservoir along with water will help keep the water cold which in turn make the EC work more efficiently.

TIP 3: Clean your EC out occasionally - ECs will accumulate dust and dirt from the air so it if the air it's blowing out smells dusty or is causing allergies it probably just needs a good rinse. Fortunately this unit is very easy to clean.

LIMITATION 1: Won't work if it's humid. Get an AC if you live in a humid climate.

LIMITATION 2: Won't cool down 105ºF air down to 65ºF - No EC will do this or at least not in a reasonable amount of time. If you follow my tips though, you can get 105 degrees down to 78.

ECs are cheaper, more efficient and better for the environment than AC's but definitely have their limitations. If evaporative coolers are right for you, this a is a good buy.

Blows as cold as an A/C unit & with POWER!

I bought this unit from the Home Depot. I was actually concerned because I like to read online reviews first, via my favorite place to shop - Amazon.com. I was desperate on this hot day 3 weeks ago, so I took the gamble.

This unit is AMAZING. I own one other KuulAire PACKA44 350 CFM (smaller version, but very good). I also own a Sunpentown SPT SF-608R or as I like to call it a "Suckpentown." The Sunpentown was a little better than a paperweight. Much cheaper, but doesn't work nearly as well as any other evaporative cooler.

Back to the KuulAire PACKA53- This thing is AMAZING. It has a very attractive display with all the standard features of an evaporative cooler. The only thing I would change is the fill tray. It only allows for a small opening to fill the reservoir. This opening is impossible to even squeeze the smallest ice cube into. Solution? I simply opened the fill drawer and hack sawed the thing right off! I now have a space big enough to fit 4-inch ice cubes. I would recommend purchasing Tovolo KING Cube Ice Trays, Available on Amazon.

For the money -$175 at the Home Depot- hands down this is the best evaporative cooler you can get your hands on. It blows cold, it blows strong, it has a giant reservoir of 4 gallons, and the unit is all around attractive.

The KuulAire PACKA44 Portable Evaporative Cooling Unit is one of most efficient ways to keep cool, indoors or out! You can rely on the PACKA44 for all your cooling needs during those hot months. This unit is extremely powerful and cools with no harmful refrigerants! Its large airflow capacity allows for superior cooling that can cover up to 175-Square Feet lowering the temperature 10-25 degrees. Heavy-duty casters make it portable and easy to move while the small footprint makes it perfect for keeping small places cool. The 7.5 hour timer allows "pre-cooling" of spaces just set it and forget it! For added peace of mind it includes a one year manufacturer's warranty. What is Evaporative Cooling - Remember the chill of getting out of a swimming pool on a hot day? That's evaporative cooling.

Evaporative cooling units create a natural effect and provide a constant flow of cool, refreshing air into hot, uncomfortable environments. The heart of an evaporative cooling system is the evaporative pad. A pump pushes water over the pads and a fan pulls the air through the pads. The water evaporates within the pads and the air passing through the pads is cooled. Port-A-Cool products are manufactured in the USA by Port-A-Cool, LLC, in Center, Texas, and the company is recognized as an industry leader with Port-A-Cool products being respected in both the United States and international marketplaces. Why Buy-Cools using regular tap water and 115v with no harmful refrigerants. No assembly required and easy to maintain.

Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G Better than I thought

My Nikon ownership goes back over 30 years to the days when cameras were made of metal and carrying one with a few lenses tested your stamina.

Times sure have changed. There's hardly a metal camera to be found and you can carry a bag full of equipment in one hand. The Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor is the latest lightweight from this heavyweight of the camera industry.

Plastic construction right down to its lens mount. This thing looks and feels like the label should say Fisher Price and not Nikon. However, looks can be deceiving as I soon found out.

My only reason for buying this lens was that I needed to fill a void in my kit until I saved up enough for a 70-200mm f2.8. I had no intention of keeping the 55-200 VR once the 70-200 arrived.

After shooting with the 55-200 for a few months I've come to appreciate what it can do. It's limited to use in good light as even VR can't change the laws of physics. In this case, it's not even the current VR-II but the original VR that Nikon developed a few years ago.

With sufficient light and good technique, the 55-200 is capable of very good performance. No, it's not as sharp and contrasty as the 70-200. It's also not going to survive the bad weather or a few solid knocks that professional use would expose it to.

Where the 55-200 excels is in its portability and above average performance. For travel or just walking around, it would be hard to beat this lens if it's used within its limits. I use mine on a D80 and have no problem getting excellent 13x19" prints.

As an added bonus, it works very well with the Nikon CL3T closeup lens and does double duty as a macro zoom. Again, it's not a substitute for a real macro zoom like the Nikon 70-180, but it's not intended to be.

Given my original opinion of this lens, I have to admit that I've gotten much more than my money's worth out of it. Instead of selling it, I'm going to keep it and use it when my 70-200 is just to big and heavy to carry around.

Incredible Bargain - Sharp Lens with VR for $250!

This lens is sharp even at wide apertures, the VR (image stabilization) works great, autofocus speed is more than acceptable, and it it is very light and compact. The fact that it costs $250 and has effective VR is pretty amazing - no other company offers a lens with this feature for anywhere near this price.

As for image quality, search the various internet photo sites, such as dpreview and nikonians for sample photos taken with this lens by real users. The results are impressive! My copy produces similar results. The previous reviewer must have a bad sample.

Of course, the lens is slow (like almost all consumer zoom lenses), in that its widest aperture is smaller than a professional zoom or prime lens, so it's not a good choice for action photography in lower light conditions (like indoor sports without flash or outside sports at dusk). But a fast telephoto zoom will cost at least three times as much and weigh a ton.

I give the lens 5 stars based on a combination of image quality, value, and compactness/lightness.

D70 Upgrade

I recently updated my DSLR collection to the Nikon D3100 from the Nikon D70. There are good

reviews out there that you should check out. However, I would like to share some of my first impressions.

Pro:

-Better image quality and lower noise at high ISO with the D3100

-MUCH MUCH lighter, which will be nice when traveling

-Larger LCD screen

-11 focus points, including 3D focus which tracks the motion of the subject or camera.

-1080p Video

-14 megapixels

-2nd Generation DSLR

-Quiet, quiet, quiet

Cons:

-No bracketing option. Not a huge deal since I only bracket once a year

-Cannot use my old 50mm 1.8 lens. I knew this before purchasing the camera.

-As of 10/1/2010, Camera RAW for the D3100 is not supported in Photoshop or Lightroom. Need to shoot .jpg + RAW or use Nikon Capture NX2 for RAW files. That should be updated soon, so not a big deal.

-Can hear the lens focusing when recording video.

-No depth of field preview.

-Can't use wireless remote

I'm an amateur photographer and this camera meets my needs. I love the fact that it's small and light, with great quality images. If I were a serious photographer and had more money to spare, I would wait and check out the D7000, which appears to have phenomenal specs. I'm happy with my purchase and I highly recommend this camera.

Nikon D3100 VS. D300 VS. D700

For the cost of this camera, I don't think you can get anything better. The low light performance is off the charts. As a wedding photographer I regularly shoot with Nikon's high end professional equipment and I was amazed how close this camera is to a pro camera. Now let me get specific. In order to compare I took a look at 100% files out of each camera I own.

Which camera excels Nikon D3100($Cheap) VS. D300($1600) VS. D700 ($2,700):

* Lens = The D3100 is the only camera that comes with a lens at it's normal price

* ISO Performance = Tie between D3100 and D700! (It could be Nikon's new processing but the JPEG looks fantastic I was shooting D3100 on 6400iso with very little noise at all)

* Low Light Focusing = D700

* Focus Speed = D700

* External Buttons & Controls for Pros = D700

* Menu Navigation = D3100

* Ease of Use = D3100

* Megapixel = D3100 (14.2)

* Sensor size = D700 (Much more important than megapixels but I won't get into this)

* Can use older lenses with functionality = D700 & D300

* Video = D3100 of course! 1080P video looks amazing.

* Frame Rate = D300 at 6 photos a second

* Weight = D3100 (light as a feather)

* Ergonomics = D700 (big enough for all my finger)

Lens:

The lens is a kit lens, it will work outside but not so great in low light. The Vibration Reduction will help indoors but Vibration Reduction can't stop a child or pet in motion indoors. Consider buying a 35mm 1.8dx AFS for around $200 and you will be super happy with this camera.

Video:

I purchased the 3100 specifically to shoot video, so I put on Nikon's brand new 85mm 1.4g Nano lens and shot video with it. The lens costs more than double the camera but I wanted to see how the 1080P video looked. It has the look of a cinematic movie. After the 85mm, I put on Nikon's 50 1.2 manual focus lens and was able to take very cinematic video in manual mode. In order to make it brighter or darker you either need to use a really old lens like the 50mm 1.2 and hit the AE-L (auto exposure lock) and twist the aperture to change exposure. Or you can hit the AE-L button when you get the exposure you like. Its not a perfect system but it works well for me. Inside the menu options you can change the AE-L button to hold the setting until you reset which is helpful.

Canon T3i - Best DSLR for Under $1,000?

Okay, now let's take a fresh look at the Canon EOS Rebel T3i (600D) DSLR and compare it to the 60D and T2i. In this review I'll also talk about some "MUST HAVE" accessories for this camera.

The Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR was release in March of 2011 and has quickly become one of the most popular DSLRs available.

As if the Rebel line wasn't popular enough with budding photographers... The introduction of the T3i has captured the imagination of thousands of aspiring videographers... with it's ability to capture FULL HD video... bright, articulating 3 inch LCD screen (which comes in really handy when shooting video in the field), and the ability to select from a host of lenses... which is common to DSLRs in general.

Professionals prefer DSLRs because they allow for an accurate preview of what they are shooting, at the moment they push the shutter button. DSLRs also have larger sensors than compact point-and-shoot digital cameras (which means a better quality and high-resolution image)...

Full HD video and interchangeability of lenses are particularly attractive to wannbe videographers (especially in a sub-$1000 DSLR... like the T3i)... because NOW they can shoot amazing HD video footage for a fraction of the what it would have cost... just a few years ago... PLUS they end up with a great camera for still photography...

The Canon T3i (600D) ships with the body, battery, battery charger, USB interface cable, AV cable, EOS solution disk (that contains the really handy EOS utility - I'll talk about this a bit more later...) and a suitable strap (although I quickly replaced mine). AND if you desire... a kit lens...

The T3i is considered a compact DSLR at 5.2 inches wide, 3.9 inches high and 3.1 inches deep (not including a lens)... compared to the larger and more expensive 60D at 5.69 inches wide, 4.17 inches high and 3.09 inches deep.

The T3i is very similar in size, weight and features to the less expensive T2i. The T3i feels solid and well made and is comfortable in the hand...

But I do have smaller hands... So if your hands are larger you may want to look to the 60D OR grab the Zeikos battery, power grip... for your T3i...with an additional battery...

This battery grip doubles the amount of shooting you can do between battery changes AND provides a much large grip surface.

At the heart of the Canon T3i is an 18 megapixel CMOS digital sensor and the DIGIC 4 processor. This sensor and processor are also found in Canon's 60D and T2i.
