Great Purchase!!
2009-06-18I purchase the Sony 75-300mm F/4.5-5.6 Compact Super Telephoto Zoom Lens for the Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera. The product was rated used but in good condition. When I received the product there was no indication it had ever been used and the box it came in was brand new. This product should have been classified as new because that's how I received it.
I would definitely purchase from the seller again!

Great Lens, Great Shipping
2009-05-25I don't have much to say. I'm quite new to the photography scene. I bought my first dSLR about 2 years ago. This was my first lens apart from the 18-70 mm that my a100 came with and I'm quite pleased. I found myself taking pictures of the night sky with the old lens and just wanted a closer shot of things so I bought the 75-300. I now have great shots of the moon and some constellations. I'll probably buy another lens in the future since this purchase has really opened my eyes to just what you can do with a variety of lenses. Also a great lens for amateur birdwatching and sporting events. Took it out to Dodger Stadium and got some great shots.

not too shabby
2009-05-18The lens is a very solid unit. The auto focus is nice and tight and dosent play back and forth like my other telephoto lenses all in all i am very satisfied with my purchase.

Great Item, Great Price
2009-04-03I am somewhere between a neophyte and an amateur photographer. I bought a Sony A200K as my first DSLR and love it but soon discovered the limitations of the lenses it came with. I consulted pros to see what my next lenses was going to be and this 75-300mm was it. Since I don't have a lot of bucks right now, I took a chance on a used one and this thing was in mint condition. But I was soon doing some incredible jaw-dropping shots from the time I got it attached to my camera, Close ups of flowers, Animals, and yes even bugs jumped right out with amazing clarity and color... Amazon, the seller and this lenses made me a professional photographer most of the time. I couldn't be happier.

Great Lens
2009-03-01This was a gift for my wife and she hasn't complained at all. She uses it often and we have gotten some great photos.

Advantages Of The DV Camcorder
Introduction
The DV camcorder, or digital video camera, has many advantages to offer consumers. Camcorders have come a long way from even the analog camcorder. There are many benefits to using a digital video camera. Some of the advantages that may send you to the store for your own are its compactness, its quality of picture, and its versatility. You can use your digital video camera to transfer your VHS movies to digital tape. You may find that the technology is also much better with a digital video camera.
A camcorder derives its name from its ability to operate as both a camera and a recorder. This electronic piece of equipment has been used by countless families to record baby's first steps, birthday parties, weddings, graduations, etc. These recordings of sights and sounds have provided many hours of family entertainment as well as amusement to television audiences through the capturing of hilarious antics.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc.
There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder.
Technology
It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
