Be sure it is firmly attached
2008-09-04Be sure that you can't remove the installed lens holder before installing the heavy telephoto converter lens. This adapter does not lock firmly in place with a resounding, reassuring click. You put it on, note that the release button is still depressed, work it around until the release is in the popped out locked position, double check that the adapter is locked firmly and only then entrust the heavy lens to it. Lens itself seems top quality.
Aluminum Would Be Better
2008-07-17For the money spent, seems a little on the cheap side. Spend the extra $5 bucks and get a Lensmate Aluminum Adapter.
Read the manual
2008-07-07After reading all of the negative reviews I couldn't believe canon would sell a product without instructions. I reviewed the manual and THERE ARE instructions on who to use the conversion lens adapter, the optional lenses and even the external flash!
Sure, it is essential.
2008-06-27This product is very good and I would choose high-impact plastic (which it is) over any metal material. The plastic is light and tough and will not wear away the vital surfaces on the camera; mine is a G9, or the accessories. The fact is you may want one of these for each of your accesories so that you can leave it attached always, 3 individual adapters would be enough...wide lens, tele lens and a 58mm polarizer. The end used for the accessory is a screw-on with fine threads, so having each accessory already attached is a major short-cut. The other end is a modified bayonet and goes on and off pretty quick.
I do believe Canon should include "cheap" end caps for the camera (bayonet) end so that the attached adapter is sealed. The end cap that comes with the lens is too big. And for the price of this adapter it should include the cap.
A great accessory for your Canon G7 ot G9
2008-06-06While this accessory is kind of expensive for what it is, (just a simple piece of plastic), it is necessary for use with the optional Canon converter lenses. As a stand alone accessory, it acts as a lens hood for the built-in G7/G9 lens, and also allows you to attach 58mm lens filters. I do recommend it, but I only gave it a rating of "4 stars" because it is overpriced.

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 ...
