25PC ULTIMATE ACCESSORY PACKAGE FOR CANON HDV HV20 HG10 Review

I purchased this kit for Canon HG10 digital HDD camcorder. I opted for this 25 PC kit over the 10 Piece Best Buy Accessory Kit for CANON HG10 / HV20 kit because of the following additional items:
* 2X telephoto lens
* 0.5X Extra wide angle lens (is there wide angle lens, and then an "extra" wide angle lens?)
* 5 MiniDV Panasonic DVM60EJ cassettes
* 1 Digital Concepts MiniDV Cleaning cassette DVC-CK (does not need cleaning fluid)
* 3 filters (instead of only 1 in 10 Piece Best Buy Accessory Kit for CANON HG10 / HV20)
* Carrying case for the tripod

What i recieved in the kit:
* Battery Li-ion 7.4v 1800 mAh by Digital Concepts(BP-4LCL-C)
* Telephoto and Wide angle lenses by Digital Concepts (KIT-1337R)
* Filters - 3 Pc 37mm Filter set by Merkury Optics (MI-37FK)
* Rapid travel charger by Digital Concepts (CH-2L)
* SD Card reader by Digital Concepts (SD-35)
* Mini Tripod by Digital Concepts (TR-023)
* 5 Pc Lens Cleaning Kit by Digital Concepts (LCK-5S)
* 1 GB micro SD card with SD adapter by Digital Film (no model #)
* Digital Camera Bag by Digital Concepts (DV-92)
* 50 inch Tripod by Digital Concepts (TR10)
* 5 MiniDV cassettes by Panasonic (DVM60EJ)
* Digital Concepts MiniDV Cleaning cassette (DVC-CK)

What was good about the vendor:
* Fast shipping. Good packaging.

What bugged me about this kit:
* I wish they had mentioned the exact models and manufacturers of included items. For example, I would have appreciated information about voltage, mAh and battery code instead of generic "5 hour battery".
* HG10 camcorder's lens attachment size is 43mm. All the filters and lenses u get in this kit are for 37mm. There is a 43mm-37mm adapter included with the telephoto lens kit. Problems
- At 1x zoom, you can see attached lens' edges in you view. It is especially bad with the telephoto lens. It looks as if you are looking thru a pipe.
- The 43mm-37mm adapter does not have friction grooves on it so it is not easy to remove.
- I have noticed that camcorder's auto focussing takes considerably longer when you attach lenses or filters.

Overall, i am disappointed with the lenses in the kit. Rest of the kit is decent. I would give it 3.5/5.

Sigma APO 70-300mm F/4-5.6 DG Macro Lens for Sony Alpha A700, A200, A100 Digital SLR Review

I really like this lens -very versatile. I use it on a Konica-Minolta 5D, which I will upgrade to a Sony when they improve the noise issue. Back to the lens - sharp as a tack. Best aperature is about 5.6 at the wide end for sharpness, and f8 at the long end. Macro mode is rather awsome - good stand off, and fast enough to blur the background. Auto focus is quite fast and accurate, though not as quiet as a Nikon, for instance. With a 1.4x extender it provides an excellent "reach" for little money. Did I mention it is a superior optic? Nicely done, Sigma. Recommended.

Product Description

Systematic is Gitzo's top of the range tripod family, the choice of professional photographers who use long lenses and heavy cameras. Not only are Systematic Gitzo's strongest and most stable tripods, they're also modular, with a top casting element that opens and closes to allow each tripod to be configured with a flat disk, geared or sliding center column, video half-ball adapter, leveling unit or other specialized center component.

New construction and bonding techniques have almost doubled maximum payloads by distributing weight more efficiently to the 6X carbon fiber legs, which also feature the G-Lock system for greater power and ease of leg section locking. In addition, design details on the distinctive new triangular top casting make changing center components even faster and safer. The choice of the most demanding professionals, Systematic Series 5 tripods now support up to 88lbs (40kg) of camera equipment and accessories, and are the most rigid tripods in the whole Gitzo range. Supporting the heaviest camera equipment and giving the stability needed by lenses up to 800mm.

Gitzo Series 5 Systematic 3 Section Tripod GT5532S Review

i love this tripod, i shoot a medium format camera and the series 3 tripod i had would move around in the wind and even though it was rated to carry the weight it was so light it would move too easily. the series 5 tripod weighs more, some say it weighs too much. that added weight helps keep the camera steady and i get clear shots every time. if you have a big dslr or m/f or large format this is what this tripod was made for.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Auto Focus Lens Kit, for Maxxum & Sony Alpha Mount. (*Auto Focus only if body supports HSM) with Tiffen 77mm UV Filter, Lens Cap Leash, Professional Lens Cleaning Review

Overall this is a gem of a lens. The build quality is excellent and the extra size is a welcome aspect of that build. The focus is fast and silent. CA and distortion is very well controlled.

The lens is quite sharp, but could be sharper. I gave this lens 4 stars out of 5 simply because its sharpness wide open is only 'good', not 'great'. When compared against other 50mm f/1.4 lenses it is definitely on par sharpness wise, but when compared with my Zeiss AF f/1.4 lenses it's not in the same league.

Casio Exilim EX-S100 3.2MP Digital Camera with 2.8x Optical Zoom Review

The new Casio Exilim EX-S100 continues the company's tradition of making super-thin, credit card-sized digital cameras, only this time it has a retractable 3x optical zoom which is just amazing to watch as it comes out and goes in. Supposedly Casio engineers had to invent a new kind of ceramic lens to make it fit inside the EX-S100's thin (~0.6") body. It weighs less than 5 oz. even with its proprietary LiIon battery.

The image quality on this camera is typical of consumer-grade, cmopact digital cameras, which is to say it's acceptable for everyday shots. The first reviewer had a good point that this camera is perfect as a second digital camera; I think it's good to have a more powerful camera that gives you more controls and more pixels if you want to do any semi-serious photography (e.g., travel photography). The EX-S100 is perfect for carrying around and snapping pictures in the park, on the street, or at a party. Its relatively fast recycle time also makes it easy to use when you are in the mood for candid shots, plus the 2.8X optical zoom helps pull things closer. (The optical zoom is important here since its 3MP resolution does not allow for a lot of cropping.)

The LCD screen on the back is big and bright but the resolution could be better. This means the image on the LCD is a bit coarse. This sucks because this camera doesn't have an optical viewfinder.

This last point raise an important performance issue: because the camera is light and doesn't have a viewfinder, when you compose your shot through the LCD, be sure to hold the camera very steady! Don't pinch it hard. Just relax but keep your arms, wrists and hands steady. Press the shutter after you insale and as you hold you breath. Learn to use your thumbs to counter-act the downward force from the press-down on the shutter. This simple tip should steer you clear of lots of blurry pictures... after you practice. :)

This camera is definitely the hottest digital camera this holiday season, hence the price premium for a 3MP shooter. Is 3MP enough? I think it is for most everyday situations. If you plan to crop a lot later on and still want gorgeous 6x4" or larger prints, you should consider a 4MP or 5MP camera. But I bet 95% of us consumers don't crop 95+% of the time, and this Exilim is really to be used as a point-and-shoot, so the 3MP is not a real issue. As I mentioned, the overall picture quality of this "card cam" (I think that's what Casio's calling them now) is pretty good, better than 3MP digital cameras from just a couple years ago.

So, if you want an impressive second digital camera or just want a thin and small and stylish camera for everyday photography, the Exilim deserves a serious look.
