Perfect
2008-05-31This item was a little on the expensive side. However, it keeps the camera safe and sound as well as made of a nice quality leather. No complaints here.

Amazon let me down
2008-04-24I really cannot write a review on this product as it was ordered along with the Hitachi 500 Camcorder on March 23rd. The accessory kit was delivered in two days but on April 19th Amazon emailed me saying they could not deliver the Camcorder. When I checked their site they were still offering the Camcorder for sale but at a much higher price. So I am stuck a month later with accessories for a camcorder they would not ship which limits me to going elsewhere or going through the problems of returning. I would have felt much better about this whole thing if I did not see them still selling product on their site but at a higher price. While I have not had problems with Amazon in the past this whole experience will make me hesitate from using them in the future. Bottom line is if you are purchasing this as a complimentary solution to a Hitachi Camcorder, make sure they have both items in stock or do not pull the trigger.

Perfect product
2008-03-25Great Product! The bag was perfect for the DVDs and misc items. The extra battery has been a life saver. Also, great value!

Camcorder Accessory Kit is a Necessity
2007-10-28Great price for what you get, extended length battery absolutely a must have. Case well made and holds everything that came with my Hitachi DVD Hybrid Camcorder.

Great deal at this price, but bag is big for the HYBRID Hitachi
2007-08-31I figured if I bought a spare battery and 3 blank mini-DVDs separately, it would have cost the same as this bundle. So its like getting the Hitachi bag for free. Great value. The bag is a little on the big side, considering the small size of the Hitachi Hybrid (HDD/DVD) camera I have. But you can fit alot in it I guess. Only has one main compartment with a padded divider in there, and one small outside pocket, so you cant get that organized. The Hitachi manual is so huge (they print 3 languages all in one book) that it wont fit in the bag, which is a bummer cause now I will lose it.

Finding the Right Digital Camera
By Dave Etchells
Finding the Right Digital Camera
The overall goal of the Imaging Resource website (www.imaging-resource.com) is to help people chose and use digital imaging technology as effectively as possible. As simple as they are to use, choosing the right digital camera involves a number of decisions. Key issues are computing platform, image quality, onboard image capacity, exposure versatility, feature set, and included software. In this article, we'll lead you step-by-step through some of the issues to consider in making a purchase decision, and at the same time, suggest some things to look for in the test images we've collected on our website.
We're interested in your feedback and experience! We invite you to elaborate on this article by leaving comments via the database link at the bottom of the page. You can also give feedback in our "Forum" discussion-group section.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
