  Awesome Camera!

  So Im a professional photographer, at my studio we use a nikon, But I recently wanted to start branching out on my own, so I wanted to buy my first dslr. :)After much thought and deliberation I decided on the T3! Its a wonderful camera, and is more then enough for me, and the family, senior, weddings etc Ive been doing!This kit was the perfect price, I couldnt have found a better deal! I love everything in this kit. except 1 thing, its a minor thing cause it doesnt really affect me, but the Tri-Pod is Very Flimsy and when I went to put my camera on it, the tri-pod was broken, even if it wasnt broken I wouldnt trust putting my camera on there. Luckily I have a better durable tri-pod! :) Like I said nothing that affects me :) Definitely a purchase I will not forget!!! :) if you would like to see some examples on how the camera photographs for portraits.. you can visit my website.

  T3 Package Review

  I bought one of these for my son and his wife for their wedding present. After seeing it I bought one for my wife. Everyone loves them.Camera is great, takes great pictures and has plenty of options that will help any photographer. 75-300mm lens is a pretty good starter zoom. 16GB SD card is plenty of memory for most people. Camera bag is not a bad starter bag. Tripod has a lot to be desired and is flimsy. I would recommend you get another one if you plan on serious tripod usage.All in all, this is a great camera that you can grow with, at a great priceLastly the vendor sent the package right away without a hitch.I would highly recommend this package. 4/5 Max Gatsche (Grafton, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Awesome camera and kit!

  I did my research and shopped around. I looked at flyers and asked what other people thought of Canon. For what is offered, it is the best price I could find. Know the slight differences in Canon EOS Rebel T3 and T3i though. T3i is slightly more expensive related to higher MP (18), a swivel screen, a sensor telling you when to clean your lense and other differences. I have the T3 and am extremely content with it. GREAT pictures and easy to use...I would recommend reading the book and experimenting. It then becomes easier still. 5/5 linetta33 "Linetta33" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Bird watchers delight.

  Sold my Nikon P500 on Ebay. It was a great camera but the 36X zoom was impossible to control without a tripod. I photograph birds in central Pennsylvania and needed a camera that was capable of taking quick shots while on the move. I had a Panasonic Lumix with an 18X zoom but wanted something a little stronger. The Fuji S4200 meets all of my requirements. I love the simplicity of the contols as well as their locations. Finally got the perfect shot of a tufted titmouse that was nearly fifty yards away. The only things I can gripe about are the location of the card slot which is inside the battery compartment and the strap holding lugs which are too small for a heavy padded camera strap. Did I mention the price which was low enough to counter the problems? 5/5 Allen E. Bickel "Wildcat" (Pa USA) - See all my reviews, March 20, 2012

  great still camera

  Just got this camera today, and have been running around the house taking photos in every condition that I can find. It works great and the 14mp is a great improvement from my 5mp and it works in almost any light. Now the video is not all that great the HD says you can only record a little over 9 minutes and the picture is not too steady without a tripod. I like to mount my camera on the dash of my car and take videos while I am driving, I guess for that I will have to go back to my old camcorder. The 24X zoom works great for still photos, I can read license plates from almost 1/4 mile away. For still photos, I would recommend this camera. 4/5 Bruce H.

  Review along with Tips for your new GE x500

  REVIEW: My last two digital cameras have been point & shoot Kodak's and it took so long for the camera to reset in between pictures I was missing shot after shot. Plus, the Kodak's didn't have any kind of picture stabilization so half the pictures came out blurry. With that said, I was in the market for a different brand of camera.I was considering the Nikon L120 but really didn't want to shell out that kind of money so I kept putting the purchase off. Then I came across this GE x500 with its list of equally good features, great reviews and incredible price. I didn't even know GE made cameras so I have to say I was a bit leery about how good it would be compared to SLR style cameras with name recognition but I went for it and it has ended up being the perfect camera for my picture taking needs (vacations, special occasions, holidays, parties, pets, occasional on line classified ad or auction).TIPS: I haven't had the camera that long and with all the... 5/5 PG (East Coast) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  A great starter camera if you want better pics than a point and shoot.

  Like many other reviewers I am not a professional photographer, and this is my first digital camera. I do like taking pictures though and I've dealt with a few nice film cameras and some nice Fujifilm cameras (a P&S, 'bridge camera' and a DSLR) and I feel like this camera is most definitely worth the price. The X500 is a bridge camera, almost a SLR and almost a point and shoot. But it boasts some great specs and features that you cannot find anywhere in this price range.Pros. The 16 megapixel sensor is great. Most entry level cameras of any type and brand start off at about 12 MP right now. GE has this model at 16. I think the other 16 MP cameras are over twice the price of this one. You can see the difference when you zoom in on your computer, the clarity is apparent.The zoom on the X500 is awesome.

  Fantastic Bridge Camera ^-^

  Like most people who are purchasing this camera, I have little or no experience in photography. Although I've dabbled in the arts of Skype and quick pics using my phone, this GE bridge camera is hardly in the same tier. So many features.. so little time..Pros:> Superb picture quality for the price> Myriad of features packed in one> Super ZOOM to the rescue!> Build quality feels legit (ergo, a real, solid camera rather than a cheap toy)I'll go more in depth with the features. My favorite feature is the HDR conversion of photos. After you take a photo, you go to the photo you just took by hitting the > (play) button. Then hit menu and go all the way down. There's an option called "HDR" which converts your photo to "High Dynamic Range" quality. Simply put, it enhances the colors of the photo, making it brighter and more vivid.

  X-grip is an excellent accessory for action video

  I bought the X-Grip for camcorder use. It was shipped fast and arrived in perfect condition. I appreciate the simple, uncluttered, straightforward design which was executed with quality materials. Attaching it to the camcorder is swift and easy, and the X-Grip can even be attached to a tripod or other mount when operating the camcorder. The heavy-duty accessory shoe can be detached. The grip of the unit is heavily padded and comfortable to use. Small built-in 'loops' at the top and bottom of the mount can be used to attach additional accessories via zip-ties or other field expedients. The X-Grip is constructed from very heavy duty plastic and is robust enough to withstand many years of service. I heartily recommend this unit to all active videographers who want bang for their bucks. 5/5 James Prine (Ponchatoula, La. (Katrina)) - See all my reviews, September 5, 2010

  Nice and versatile

  I love this thing. It's much more than just a handle for low-angle skater shots. I use mine with a Canon Vixia HF-10, and I like that I can mount the camera forward, as you see in most of the product shots, or 90 degrees left so that the curved handle serves as more of a left-hand support for regular shooting... like a flash bracket that still photographers use. That's going to be my default setup. Since the camera mounting screw is in a little track that extends the length of the flat rubber area, the camera can be slid forward or backwards within the X-Grip before tightening. In my case, I slide it all the way forward, rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise, and the camera's video monitor has plenty of room to swing all the way out to the left without hitting the handle curve. The accessory bracket on top also rotates 360 degrees so the light/microphone can match the camera direction.My only complaint is related to the mounting knob below. I'm thrilled that it also has a... 5/5 M. Scott Palmer (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews, February 1, 2011

  This camera was something that I was dying to get. I've had a very old, 8 year old in fact, Coolpix camera that still works but it's so old that I hate using it.

  Awesome!

  True story: Had my heart set on the Nikon D3100, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for it. Rewind to my son's 8th grade graduation in May. I didn't have a camera at the time so I was using my cell phone which ran out of batteries by the time the graduation procession started. I was devastated. FORTUNATELY a good friend whose son was also graduating was sitting right behind me and she had a gorgeous professional looking camera. She offered to take pics of our son for me. When she emailed them to me the next day, her pictures were amazing! The zoom, picture color and clarity was so unbelievable! I HAD to know what the name of her camera was. She said a "Nikon Coolpix L810". I quickly looked it up online and found it cheapest on Amazon. I ordered it on a Friday and got it on Monday! I'm in LOVE with this camera.

  Great camera for beginners and amateurs alike

  I purchased the Rebel 2000 after a couple of months of serious comparison shopping. My decision came down to the Nikon N60 and the Rebel 2000. The cameras share 90% of their features but the Canon provided 7 point autofocusing, 35 zone metering and a depth of field preview. You would have to spend almost $1000 to get these features on a Nikon. The only reason I even had to make a choice between the two was because the Nikon has superior optics and a more sturdy "feeling" aluminum body. The Nikon felt great in my hands and while I enjoyed the light weight of the canon, I was fearful of it's ability to take a beating. Then, I thought..."will i abuse my camera...NO...could an aluminum body handle a 4ft drop from my hands?...NO! So what's the difference. Don't be afraid of the alloy body! Some are under the impression that if it costs over $100, it should be heavy? Enjoy the freedom that these new products and the materials can afford us. The lens mounts hold... 4/5 Kelvin Lewis (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel 2000 35mm Film SLR Camera Kit with 28-80mm Lens (Electronics) I purchased the Rebel 2000 after a couple of months of serious comparison shopping.

  Excellent camera for beginners and the price conscious

  The Canon Rebel 2000 is a fine camera for the beginner who aspires to take professional quality pictures. It is as full featured as many higher priced cameras, yet costs much less. The camera is quite versatile, allowing one to take pictures by full automatic mode (point and shoot). If one so desires, one can take control of the process and control every aspect of the shot, including flash, shutter speed, aperature, and focus. The camera also has several built in photo modes for automatic portraits, landscapes, night shots, and action shots. As an aside, the Canon EF lens that comes with this kit is a very nice lens that produces good quality pictures. There are many other EF lenses available that will fit this camera. An aspiring photographer will not want for variety of lenses. I have had mine for several months now and I love it. I used the camera to take pictures at my brother's wedding ceremony, which was outside, at night. The camera's excellent metering and... 5/5 J. M.

  Passed the test and more

  I had a few miscellaneous comments to make. I've had my EOS Rebel 2000 for only two weeks and already am extremely satisfied with it. The first roll of film came back and the photos are nice and sharp. The only thing I could have done differently in the photos was to use some exposure compensation--I was on vacation and was shooting wildlife at a beach on an overcast day, and even then, the sand was reflective enough so that the some of the subjects were a little dark and looked somewhat silhouetted.Happily, this little camera gives you manual control over shutter speed and aperture, as well as many other nice features, such as depth of field preview (which even the ELAN II lacks), and a respectable 1/2000th of a second top shutter speed. If you've been mostly a point and shoot camera owner until now, your fastest shutter speed will only have been about 1/500th of a second, unless you own one of the Contax point and shoots such as the T2, which go up to 1/700th of a... 5/5 magellan (Santa Clara, CA) - See all my reviews, December 27, 2001

  Everything You Need!

  Functionality, price, performance...It's all here in this package! Novice photographers won't be overwhelmed by the features on this camera package and those with a bit more "savy" won't feel like they are working "cheap". This unit feels good and comfortable in the hand and the optics are really nice. The results are photos you'll be proud to share. 5/5 James M.

  !!!!GREAT!!!!

  I'm no expert, but this camera is sweet! It has all kinds of whistles and bells, including adjustable shutter speed and light settings. It's definitely produces high quality pictures, and with the set, you will be sure you have everything you need to run the camera and take it with you where you need to go. I was checking around in my local stores for a camera similar to this with the same features, and you can't touch any of them for this price. 5/5 Mysticblur - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Great Camera!

  Bought this for my wife as a christmas gift and she loves it. The only thing that i have a complaint about is that it didn't come with the instructional manual. But no worries, I found it online. So hopefully i will be taking better photos once we figure it out. 5/5 Ryan - See all my reviews This review is from: General Electric Power Pro X500-BK 16 MP with 8GB Camera Bundle (Black) (Electronics) Bought this for my wife as a christmas gift and she loves it.

  Review along with Tips for your new GE x500

  REVIEW: My last two digital cameras have been point & shoot Kodak's and it took so long for the camera to reset in between pictures I was missing shot after shot. Plus, the Kodak's didn't have any kind of picture stabilization so half the pictures came out blurry. With that said, I was in the market for a different brand of camera.I was considering the Nikon L120 but really didn't want to shell out that kind of money so I kept putting the purchase off. Then I came across this GE x500 with its list of equally good features, great reviews and incredible price. I didn't even know GE made cameras so I have to say I was a bit leery about how good it would be compared to SLR style cameras with name recognition but I went for it and it has ended up being the perfect camera for my picture taking needs (vacations, special occasions, holidays, parties, pets, occasional on line classified ad or auction).TIPS: I haven't had the camera that long and with all the... 5/5 PG (East Coast) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  A great starter camera if you want better pics than a point and shoot.

  Like many other reviewers I am not a professional photographer, and this is my first digital camera. I do like taking pictures though and I've dealt with a few nice film cameras and some nice Fujifilm cameras (a P&S, 'bridge camera' and a DSLR) and I feel like this camera is most definitely worth the price. The X500 is a bridge camera, almost a SLR and almost a point and shoot. But it boasts some great specs and features that you cannot find anywhere in this price range.Pros. The 16 megapixel sensor is great. Most entry level cameras of any type and brand start off at about 12 MP right now. GE has this model at 16. I think the other 16 MP cameras are over twice the price of this one. You can see the difference when you zoom in on your computer, the clarity is apparent.The zoom on the X500 is awesome. This camera has 15X optical zoom and along with digital zoom (digital zoom takes away image quality as you zoom in so just keep that in mind when using it) it has a... 5/5 mike (Peshtigo, WI) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Fantastic Bridge Camera ^-^

  Like most people who are purchasing this camera, I have little or no experience in photography. Although I've dabbled in the arts of Skype and quick pics using my phone, this GE bridge camera is hardly in the same tier. So many features.. so little time..Pros:> Superb picture quality for the price> Myriad of features packed in one> Super ZOOM to the rescue!> Build quality feels legit (ergo, a real, solid camera rather than a cheap toy)I'll go more in depth with the features. My favorite feature is the HDR conversion of photos. After you take a photo, you go to the photo you just took by hitting the > (play) button. Then hit menu and go all the way down. There's an option called "HDR" which converts your photo to "High Dynamic Range" quality. Simply put, it enhances the colors of the photo, making it brighter and more vivid. Another great feature is smile detection. Press the little smiling button right next to the "waving hand" (that's image... 5/5 exProphecy - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Unbreakable, Unbeatable, Unbelievable

  It's a shock to me to find that many years after release, no one has written a review of the EOS 1V. This is one sweet camera. It has a carved of a chunk feel that tells me that I can use it hard and not have to worry that it will let me down. There are enough pro features to cover any challenge.I bought mine because I shoot a lot of motor sports and this baby autofocuses faster than my Nikon F5 (a camera I really like too). The metering system, once you extablish the proper ISO of your film, is dead nuts on. I leave the camera on "P" for program for most assignments and use the amazing matrix meter setting for surprisingly accurate results. Case in point, I recently did a salon shoot of a Ferrari 308GTB and the guy at my prolab said "the exposures were great, as usual."Some cool things that I love about the EOS 1V: I wear glasses and I can see the entire view finder with ease. The camera handles like a dream in the horizontal and vertical position (mine has... 5/5 Dom Miliano (Denville, NJ USA) - See all my reviews, November 26, 2004

  Perhaps the best 35mm SLR there ever was

  It feels odd to be reviewing this camera in 2009. It represents a technology that won't be coming back -- the caliber of images from quality digital SLRs now equals 35mm film, and digital is easier to work with. For a while, some people used excuses like "Kodachrome has better archival properties than digital storage," but Kodachrome has been cancelled, and after December 2010, it won't be possible to get any remaining rolls processed. Those who use film in education are unlikely to buy a professional camera like the 1v, and those who use film cameras for their atavistic style are probably more likely to pick up a rangefinder.The things that make the 1v great are primarily of interest to professionals -- 45 autofocus points, and very rapid autofocus even by the standards of a decade later, extraordinary quick film advance (10 images/second with the PB-E2 winder attached, and everybody who buys the 1v also buys the winder), massive customizability for a film camera (and... 5/5 Neurasthenic "neurasthenic" (New York City, New York) - See all my reviews, October 10, 2009

  Best Camera every made

  For those of you that think your $10 camera in your iPhone 5 takes great pictures, you will never understand the quality of pictures that can be taken with this camera and canon's 35 mm/1.4 lens. Try blowing up one of your high definition pictures the size of a wall in Grand Central Station and see what it looks like. Well that has been done with a canon film camera and Kodak's 35 mm Kodachrome slide and it was grainless. Your high definition picture would have pixels the size of your head. 5/5 Michael Rousselle (Saratoga Springs, NY) - See all my reviews, September 22, 2012
