The White Balance Lens Cap is great for use with digital cameras. Just place the cap over your lens, point your camera at a subject area, and the incoming light is diffused to create an average white balance for a particular scene (check camera manufacturer's manual for setting white balance). The White Balance Lens Cap easily slips on to the front of any appropriately sized lens, or a lens with a protective filter. Even if your lens has a bayonet mount on the outside, simply use the bayonet adapter provided. The lens cap comes with a handy loop to connect it to a camera strap or strap lug so you don't lose the cap.

review
I received my white balance lens cap today. I agree with the other reviewers that the threading on the cap is terrible. Also if you plan to use this to set your white balance in a room with dim lighting, do not bother purchasing this product as it is simply useless for the purpose. I have not tried the white balance lens cap in a bright setting yet but am hopeful that it will be more useful.

Useful But Could (MUST!!) be MUCH Better
The white balance setting with this lens cap is quite useful. It is nice to just pop on the cap take a quick shot and use it later for white balance adjustment. The strap is also very nice, because I would have probably lost the cap long time ago without it. But, the biggest problem with this product is it's poor quality! The ring that screws in has the worst threads I've ever seen. It is a pain to screw it in or out. Keep in ming that the ring is the last thing that goes onto the lens. So, if you decide you want to put on the polarizing filter, you have to unscrew it, put the filter and screw it back in. Imagine doing that with these terrible threads that are nearly impossible to properly align. A huge pain. Good idea, but I only wish the quality was just a bit better.

Not a lens cap.
Calling this thing a lens cap boarders on false advertising. It is not threaded (just grooved) and does not hold onto the lens in any real way that would justify calling it a lens cap. As for WB it does OK but you just have to hold the white part over the lens, same as doing the old Pringle can lid trick.

Quick and Easy!
With this lens cap you can easily setup a custom white balance in seconds! It also doubles as a permanent lens cap. Its economically priced and less cumbersome and more durable than gray cards or white paper.
Rating :
Amazing performance for such a low price
It takes less than 30 seconds to pop this cap over your lens and set a custom white balance, and the time is well worth it for the results. I've used it in obvious mixed light situations, such as in arenas with both natural light and artificial light, but also in less obvious spots, such as in deep shade on sunny days when some reflected light is coming into the scene from a nearby colored structure or mountainside. In both of these situations, and many others, the camera's white balance presets are insufficient. Once you try this product and see how pleasing the results are from setting a custom white balance for your photographs, you will begin to see mixed lighting everywhere and want to use this cap more and more.
At least one other review complains about the threads. You do not need to use the threaded mount to use this cap, and it is unreasonable to expect quality threads on a cap which costs just a few dollars. I have a clear filter over the front elements of my lenses for protection, and I would not want to permanently add any more threads anyway for fear of vignetting. I keep this cap in an outer pocket of my camera bag, and I slip it into my pants pocket when shooting. To use it, just slip over the front of the lens, set your white balance, take the cap off, and you are on your way. To store the lens, continue to use the manufacturer's dedicated lens cap.

Perfect for starting out
This was my first DLSR that I actually kept :) I ordered the Pentax K-X right before this one and ended up playing with both for a week before I returned the Pentax. I think this Canon is a higher quality product and has the benefit of a large user base, and therefore lots of knowledgebase in the community. The camera is pretty light and easy to use. It may be a bit cheaper on other websites, but I chose to go with Amazon due to the high quality of their customer service and easy return process.

For an entry-level camera this has given me far more than entry-level results. This is the only DSLR I could afford, and for the money I payed for it I was very pleased. Even with the 18-55 (which has crapped the bed) I was able to get great results even though I had to manual focus the whole time because the lens sucked! Check out my pictures at ([...]) All the pictures on there were taken with the XSi with the 18-55 kit, with the exception of like three pictures that were taken with a crappy fujifilm point and shoot. The camera itself is great. It may not have great build quality, but as long as your not thrashing it around it will hold up... The most important thing about this lens you need to know is KEEP IT CLEAN..don't take off the lens and leave the mirrors exposed..that was my biggest mistake!

Great Starter DSLR
This Canon is very nice. However, I prefer using my Canon A1 film camera. Digital is great, but I wish this camera had the ability to take photographs as well as my A1 SLR. No way, it just can't be done. But for a digital camera for under $700, whereas mine included the 50-250mm zoom lens and the standard 18-55mm, so I received even a better deal. I do like the camera, I just can't seem to get the quality pictures I think it should deliver. It could be me and not the camera. All of the whistles & bells are fantastic, including the battery life. I use my old Canon Speedlite 199a flash on this camera. Its works perfectly. No problems. Oh, and I called Canon technical support prior to using this older flash unit because I had read where some people thought it could damage the camera, which it cannot. All I can say is when you are in the market for a new camera, keep your eyes open for Canon to offer special deals on lenses.

We've been very happy with this camera and accessory kit. We mainly bought it to get action shots at gymnastics under low light conditions with no flash. We are able to do that very well with this camera. The lens are excellent for these conditions. I will buy another large SD card to go with this camera. Battery life is really great and having a second battery is nice. The included SD card transfer via USB to the laptop is especially time saving feature. Awesome quality, couldn't be happier!

Is it perfect? No but it is Amazing!
OK lest first talk about the Canon T1i. It's a really great and sound camera. It has some really nice features for a DSLR, including some you won't find on lesser models. It does an excellent job when shooting at higher ISO's which is a big plus coming from a point-&-shoot camera where I couldn't go above 200 without tons of noise. With the T1i I can go 1600 and not worry about it at all. Heck 3200 at times is more than fine and if you have a noise suppression program it will be more than fine. The only negative and it's not a big one but it's the feel of the materials of the casing. Compared to Nikon's it just feels a bit cheap, but the actual results from the camera are anything but cheap.
On to the lenses. The kit lens is ok, it has a pretty high f value for a kit lens which is nice but for me I'm loving the 55-250 IS zoom lens. It has a great range to the lens and the IS is great in low lighting situations. With the IS on both lenses you can shoot at really low shutter speeds if you have a steady hand and not have any problems.
The bag and other accessories that come with the package or OK. The extra battery is a must have! The bag works fine. It's a bit big and I would like it if the strap extended to a larger size but hey I'm a big guy. The 8GB memory card is nice, it's not the best quality card but works well and trust me you'll need at least an 8gb card for those RAW files. Honestly that's all that I've used of it. All of those other items won't be used that often but will be nice to have when you have clean the camera.
Overall I'm loving my purchase. The T1i is a great body and the getting the 2 lenses are a big plus and they are a great combination together.

Not a Point and Shoot. Not an SLR. It's a PEN. What will you create?The Olympus E-P1 marks an innovative new era in digital imaging. Our new Micro Four Thirds camera upholds the legacy of the celebrated PEN family of cameras, with the photographic optics of an SLR and the size and simplicity of a point and shoot. Combining the still image quality of a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) with the A/V quality of both a High Definition camcorder and high-end audio recorder, the E-P1 is a virtual full-service imaging studio in one ultra-portable and stylishly retro body. With dozens of advanced features, the E-P1 makes documenting and sharing your everyday life easier and more creative than ever before.ULTRA CONVENIENCE, MEGA FUNCTIONALITYThe E-P1 is the world's smallest 12.3-mexapixel interchangeable lens system camera, yet has the creative flexibility to give you a true professional experience with ease. A still photo, video and audio recorder in one, the E-P1 creates exceptional photos, inventive slide shows, and remarkable videos both for personal use or for posting on many of today's social networking websites. It delivers professional quality images without the bulk of a conventional DSLR, thanks to its slim body and advanced high-speed imager AF (Live View) technologies. The lens mount diameter has been reduced, enabling the use of smaller, lighter interchangeable lenses that perform at the same level as larger DSLR lenses. The camera fits easily in many pockets and purses.

Battery door broke two months in.
I traded a nikon slr system for this more compact Micro Four Thirds system. I love the "any lens works with an adaptor" nature of the camera. The files that I create with it are of good quality as well. I wish I could say the same for the build quality and customer support. I charged the battery one afternoon and when i put the battery back in and closed the door it would not latch. The catch on the body had simply broken off. The slrs from olympus have locking battery doors of good design and quality but the doors on all of the "pen" cameras are bad designs. I called Olympus and I was asked to send in my camera for two weeks to see if it was covered under their limited warranty. When I asked about a loaner I was told they did not provide them, "have a nice day" and was then hung up on. I just put my tripod's quick release plate on to keep the door shut now. I kept my nikon lenses and will send this camera in for repair when I have purchased another nikon body so I can sell this camera and get some money for the GF1.

I love this camera.
I've been shooting with my trusty Pentax K-1000 or my 4x5 field camera for years. I finally decided it was time to move into the digital era. I cannot even begin to express how impressed I have been with this camera. It's light weight, easy to use, has superb picture quality, and has done really well in low light so far.
A few people have complained about the view finder issue. Or, lack there of. Honestly, being someone who has mostly been shooting with my 4x5, I've had no problem with focusing and viewing everything on the LCD screen on the back. The screen is large, I can see it just fine in sunlight.
It's my new baby. I take it with me everywhere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a mid-range DSLR.

Question : What digital slr camera should I buy for magazine photography? I am not a professional photographer?
My partner and I have set up a local community magazine, we have been using a point and shoot digital camera, but feel that we now need to upgrade to a slr. We have no professional training in photography, so have limited knowlege on the subject. I have searched the internet for different reviews, but just seem to drown in information. Please can someone offer advice, please!!!!!
Answer:
any entry point DSLR will be good enough. Something like the Nikon D40 or the Canon Digital Rebel XT/350D is perfect for a starter like you. They're pretty affordable (compared to other DSLRs that is) and it works just like any other DSLR so if you upgrade your camera to another DSLR in the future you won't find yourself in a hard time adapting yourself to a new camera.The hardest thing to pick is not the camera - it's the lens - some lenses are specialized and there's one made for specific task, and it won't work well if you use it for another task. But at this point - if all you do is taking picture of people, I think the kit lens that comes with the two camera I mentioned above is good enough. Finally I highly recommend a photography class for you - a DSLR is a pretty complex piece of equipment (well there's an auto mode but you won't be utilizing a DSLR's potential if you're using auto and at that point you'd better off with a point and shoot anyway) and you will appreciate what you have to learn in the photography class.Well, I hope this helps.
Question : what would be a good digital slr camera for a beginner?
I am interested in photography as a hobby and I am just a beginner. What would be a good digital slr camera to start out with? I don't want something too cheap but it doesn't have to be fancy either.
Answer:
OK here is my short answer. for digital I have a Nikon D40 and I love it. The D40 has a full manual mode, Flexible progam, aperature priority, shutter priority modes. These are the same modes on all DSLR. It also has several other programed modes for things like portrait, night, children etc. As a photographer improves and learnds to use metering better these additional modes seldom get used so they are usually found on the more amature cameras and seen as not needed on the professional cameras. I feel I have a fair amount of experience as a photographer and it performs well for me but I can give it to my 12 y/o grandson if set on program and he can get good usable pictures as well. His photography is improving as he is already learning to use many of the functions himself ( yes I'm a proud granpa) . I also would not get caught up in the megapixel hype and instead look at the entire sensor issue. Look at the article I linked below The D40 will do everything a beginner to intermediate photographer needs at a great price. It comes with an 18-55 lens. It will let you use any other money to buy more accessories. And by the time you outgrow it cameras will have advanced to the point that most of what is on the market now would be obsolete. I bought a D300 last year and only had a it a few months when the D700 came out. The canon would also serve you well but I am a Nikon person so I suggest them. I have friends that are very happy with thier canon's and take great photos. You will have others that like Pentax and Olympus and they are not bad cameras but if they were in the same ballpark you would see many more professional photographers use them
Question : What is the cheapest way to get a digital SLR camera?
And don't say steal it!I am a student photographer, and I used a standard canon digital camera, but I wan't something with more optical zoom that can be digital. I already have a canon film slr that my mom used to have, and frankly it is quite old and a hassle to carry around. I decided it might be best if I went ahead and invested in an slr, but i know those are extremely pricey! So, do you know where the best deals are for slr cameras, both on and offline?Or, if not, do you know what the best slr STYLED digital cameras are that are out there?Thank you so much!
Answer:
Depending on how serious you are into photography and what type of photography you are doing. I would personally recommend a second hand or refurbished digital SLR for starters. I bought mine second hand and paid only 1/4th of the original price.I own Canon EOS 10D,you can see some of my photography on my website.Then for the lens, the only problem with second hand is to be very very careful. You'll need to check and make sure that the glass has no marks and there is no dust inside, otherwise buy a new lens. Oh as you said you have a canon film slr, if it has autofocus lenses, you can use them with the digital slr so buy a body only and use existing lenses.Also note that, because the digital slr doesn't have sensor same size as 35mm, so whichever lens you use, you have to multiply it by 1.6 so for example 17mm lens will be converted to approx 27mm on digital slr.Hope this helps.P.S. : To start a photography as a student, none of the compact digital or bridge cameras will help, u'll need digital slr (depending on how serious you are as i said). Otherwise yes there are some digital bridge cameras which provides you with almost all features of an SLR but too slow and quality is not same. A canon bridge camera for example is Canon PowerShot G series or Canon PowerShot S2IS.
Question : What is the best digital SLR camera on the market at the moment in this price range?
I'm planning to spend between £450-£600 on a digital SLR camera sometime soon and I was wondering what the best one out there is at the moment.Preferably I'd like opinions from people who have actually had experience with cameras in general...I'd be interested to hear about noise handling in particular.
Answer:
There is no camera that is better than another in the price range. If you stick with brand names that you are familiar with, they will all be equally good. I would suggest that you look at Pentax, Olympus, Sony, Canon and Nikon and then look for the best "kit" of package deal on the unit you choose. I think you can find an excellent camera for that price and walk off with enough cash to do something else with it.
Question : digital slr?
I'm somewhat of a newbie to cameras, but not as much as some. I have several point and shoot cameras, no digital slr's.what brand,make or model do you suggest to purchase,and why? I'm looking in the maximum of $700 before tax range.I was somewhat interested in the nikon d40x and the canon rebel xti (or something like that).What are your thoughts?
Answer:
Let me help you sort out the monotony that comes with buying a DSLR.Someone suggested the Sony Alpha or the Pentax K100D, citing the in-camera shake reduction. This would be a plus, but is really only a selling point. In truth, this shake reduction only provides around 2 stops difference. Also, on the Pentax K100D, this sucks away the battery life on a camera that runs on AA batteries. Yes, this is the only DSLR that runs on AA's, and hopefully will remain so. You see, the battery life is severely cut, giving you only around 400 pictures before they give out. My thing with the Sony Alpha are its less than good image quality at higher ISO's, and its tendency to over saturate.The Nikon D40x is an excellent camera for the money, and the best bang for your buck in its class; a title once held by Canon and the Digital Rebel series. The Nikon D40x has great image quality, excellent build and layout, and a supurb selection of lenses. Granted, non AF-S lenses will not auto focus. The reason being, Nikon took out the in camera motor. This seems like a major flaw, but when you think about it, it really was not. The Nikon D40 and D40x are designed for people who are moving up from point and shoots, who do not have any previous Nikkors, and who do not plan to buy any besides the 18-55mm kit or the 55-200mm extended kit. This is also why these cameras cannot be found with out the kit 18-55mm. This does not mean you cannot use the older screw driven Nikkors. You can still get that great quality, only you'll have to manual focus the lens. This sucks, I know, but it's easy to get use to. Besides, photographers have been manual focusing their lenses for well over a hundred years, and they continue to do this today; look at the $1000 Canon 65mm 1x-5 macro: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=155&modelid=7325 Yes, it's a manual focus, and a great lens, both optically and its all uses. Just look at it...!The Nikon D40x, like all Nikon cameras is very well built. This goes from the $550 D40 to the $5,000 D3. This has held true all the way back in the days of film. Canon on the other hand always feels "Cheap", that is plasticy and fragile. I don't care what anyone says, but the Digital Rebel series, the Rebel, the XT and the XTi all feel terrible. The 40D is much better, but still feels like a Canon-light and cheap. It really only really goes away with the supurb EOS 5D and the Mark series.One other thing that bring down Canon are its lenses. Unlike Nikon, whose lenses are stunning, Canon suffers from some optical flaws. Now, I love the way Canon USM lenses look and feel, but this is about it. Really, the optical quality does not get good until you lay out around $500. But the L series is where the optical quality become flawless. Overall, I would suggest the Nikon D40x. For so cheap and such great quality, why would you want to miss it? For Canon, you'll have to spend a lot more money to get the same quality. If you go with Canon, at least get the 40D and a good lens. Otherwise, you'll be disapointed.From what you've read, I might sound one sided with Nikon. Let me just say, this is how I feel, and from my own experiences with both Canon, Nikon, and Sony, Pentax, Mamiya, and others. If I use a Nikon, I know I get quality. If I use a Canon 5D and an L lens, I know I get quality as well. I would be crazy to say Canon is a bad company, as I would to say Nikon is. In truth, both make excellent products.Hope this helps.

Question : What is a good digital SLR camera to buy for an amateur photographer?
I want to upgrade to a digital camera and I was wondering what would be a good one to go with for an amateur photographer. I like the Cannon Rebel line of cameras but I was wondering what a more affordable option might be. What are your thoughts on the Pentax K100d. I learned on a Pentax K1000 and I read that most of the older lenses will fit the Pentax digital SLR cameras.
Answer:
I believe the K100D and K100D Super have been discontinued. Newer models are the K10D and K20D. Pentax is still using the venerable K-mount it introduced in 1975 so any older K-mount manual focus lens can be used with the newest DSLR cameras. There will be limited functionality (manual focus, stop-down metering) but they will enjoy the benefits of image stabilization since Pentax placed it in the camera body. If you have several K-mount lenses in good condition then buy the Pentax DSLR.Since Sony bought the DSLR line from Konica-Minolta in 2006, the Sony Alpha (A) series cameras use the Minolta A-mount introduced with the Minolta Maxxum AF 35mm film camera of 1985. So any Maxxum AF lens will be right at home on the Sony A200 or A350 or A700. Sony also incorporates image stabilization in the camera body.
Question : What is a good Digital SLR Camera for someone just moving into SLR cameras and in the cheaper area?
I have been interested in photography for many years and have finally got to the point where I feel a regular digital camera is holding me back from getting good shots. I am hoping to buy a Digital SLR Camera soon, but I do not know much about them to make an informed decision on which one to buy. There are so many choices. What do you recommend? Hopefully something less than $1000 please.

Question : What kind of digital SLR camera is best for beginners?
I've taken a recent interest in photography - I've always taken pictures with a normal digital point and shoot camera, but I really really want a beginner SLR camera, which can take really nice pictures but is reasonably priced. I don't know ANYTHING about SLR cameras, but the ones I've looked at so far are the Nikon D40, and the Canon Rebel, and the Pentax K110.... any advice?
Answer:
The Nikon D40 is probably the best beginner SLR, especially for the price.Stepping up from there, consider the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, the Nikon D40x, and the Canon EOS Rebel XTi.The Pentax K100D super is also a good choice, but I think the Nikon is better built.
