lens filter2008-11-09
This is a very good filter. I had a B+W filter that broke when a friend dropped my camera. I decided to try this Canon filter and I am impressed by its performance.
Pay a little extra for one that won't affect sharpness.2008-10-10
I bought one of these around the time I got my Canon 40D kit with 28-135mm lens. I've had this filter on since day one, but always thought the lens was a little soft in terms of IQ, so I did a test with/without the filter. The results were night and day. I can't tell if it filtering any UV rays, but it certainly filters sharpness dramatically. Skip this one and go for the Hoya.
Worked well until I tried to clean it2008-10-05
This filter did its job admirably for nine months. After that time, I noticed some film/gunk buildup on the front of it. I took the filter off the lens and used distilled water and a cloth to clean it using very light pressure.

After cleaning it, there were tiny scratches all over the surface of the filter. So cleaning the filter ruined it.

I'll try buying the Hoya filter and see if that holds up better. A product like this certainly shouldn't be scratched into unusabilty the first time you clean it.
Not what I would expect from Canon2008-09-07
I just assumed that Canon would make a top quality haze filter, so I ordered it along w/ my new D40. The camera is great, but the filter was not, so I returned it. A local camera shop pro showed me how inferior it was to the equivalent filter by Hoya, which reflects almost no light, while the Canon reflects a great deal. The Hoya filter costs more than the Canon, but it certainly seems stupid to try to save $30 when you've invested $1000+ on a camera, especially when the filter directly affects the quality of the pictures -- which, after all, is what it's all about.
no change in pics2008-08-05
doesn't seem to make any difference in my outside photos, but i do appreciate the added protection

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
