I Love This Camera.......2005-03-19

I started out with a Canon SLR camera from the 70's and over time saved up enough money to buy this one. It's absolutely awesome! I'm desperately in love with my new Canon SLR! It's lightweight and has tons of features.

If you buy this camera, you should also think about buying extra lenses because the lens that comes with it is just your standard lens. Thankfully, Canon makes all different kinds that will work with this camera.

GREAT GREAT CAMERA.......2005-01-11

I bought my camera the day I was on my way to Disney World(Magic Kingdom) in less then 1 hour I was taking pictures. this Camera is simple to use and takes great photos. I love my Camera and I have recommended it to all my family and friends. I think that day I took 120 picture (5 rolls) and all of them came out GREAT!!!!! It was GREAT indoors and outdoors. And the motion setting was great for in the car....

Great Camera for Everyone!.......2004-07-01

I bought this camera in the summer of 2003 which was when I started my photography endeavor. This camera has been awesome for everything that I have done from practice portraiture, landscape, close up, and everything that I was able to thow at it. I still constantly use this camera as it still continues to intrigue me with its abilities.

Many, and I say MANY people complain online about the lense that is given in the kit. For the work that I have done, and the work that most amature to "prosumer" photographers do, you will not be so extremely dissapointed about this lense. I do have the EF 50mm f/1.8, which is awesome!

The Rebel GII is also extremely light to carry around, especially when compared to older manual type SLR's. Sure, its not as light as a point and shoot but its NOT a point and shoot, its a great SLR. As I advance more in Photography, by December 2004 I'll be buying the Elan 7Ne to meet all of my photo needs. Due to the weight though, the Rebel will be my more rugged body for those shoots that I don't want to risk ruining the Elan. Great camera overall, go buy it!

Decent Entry Level Camera.......2003-11-06

My personal background: I've owned several Point & Shoot cameras, both digital and film, as well as an old SLR back when I was in high school. I'm a decent photographer and since I bought this camera in late August (now early November) I've shot probably around 400+ frames.

If you want to shoot in manual mode, this camera works wonderfully. The only downsides I've found is a tendency to under expose by about 1/3 stop and the 1 fps maximum. If you don't need high speed photography and can learn to compensate for the exposure (or take your film to a lab that does) there isn't a reason to buy any other Rebel.

If you use the various auto modes (landscape, portrait, etc.) you'll find the camera works pretty well. Using these modes I can hand the camera over to a family member and expect the photo to come out reasonably well.

The only serious downfall to this kit is the lens. It is about as crummy as lenses come. The photos look fine at 4x6, but if you blow them up, you'll notice they aren't very sharp. The good news is that when your skill develop enough that you realize this, you can go out and buy that nice 24-85mm zoom and 50mm prime and they'll work wonderfully. Expensive bodies are for people with money burning wholes in their pocket. This one is for you. :)

Easy to use! Excellent Pictures.......2003-07-09

I purchased this camera based on reviews from several different scrapbooking message boards. Scrapbookers know their cameras as their hobby is all about GREAT pictures. I have an old Canon AE-1 Program that I purchased 18 years ago and I am a big fan of digital camera. I have an Olympus C-50.

The Canon Rebel takes awesome shots. I took it to Disney World and did not take one bad shot. I used Kodak High Density film. The camera is so easy to use. The telephoto feature worked really well. In the auto mode it works like a point and shoot, but the pictures cannot be compared to a regular point and shoot camera. I am not the best photographer in the world, but this makes me look like I am. You won't be disappointed.

Other amazing features of this lightweight and robust full-frame camera are the very fast lens (f/2, 8), the excellent imaging quality and the elegant design.

Works, but Just Purchase A New Scanner for Less.......2004-04-30

This document feeder works well; it comes automatically attached to the Microtek ScanMaker 5950. You can buy the Microtek Scanmaker 5950 for less than you can buy this attachment. So while this is a good unit, you can buy the unit and a scanner for less than the unit. Do that instead.

Very happy with product.......2005-11-12

I bought mine about 1-1/2 years ago and only paid about $230.00 for it at Circuit City. I have been very happy with it. I play music and my speakers seem just fine. For the money its been a really good product for me.

pretty good for the money.......2004-06-07

Just picked up one of these from Circuit City. I generally like to shop at Circuit City becase the service is a little bit better than the others. Of course you still need to have your credit card waving in your hand and dress well; otherwise, no one is going to ask you what you want.

I was going to spend $500+ for a 17" 16ms LG from Best Buy but the LG was made in Mexico not in Korea. Sony looked really nice but it was made in China and it had 25ms instead of 16ms. Basically, I was out of selection. So, I took a look at the CRT but I didn't like any of them nor I was strong enough to put one of these 19" CRT in my car.

I remembered that there were couple of LCD moniters (...) for $399. So, I headed to Circuit City and found this monitor on sale. I had never heard of LiquidVideo but this monitor looked pretty bright and sharp compared to the others on display in Circuit City. This was made in Taiwan. My good old Viewsonic was made in Taiwan and it lasted for 10 years without any problem. I though since there was only a number of companies who supplies the actual LCD screen to various companies to build the LCD monitors, the name brand was not important I guessed. And there was a (...) rebate and I could carry it to my car with ease, LiquidVideo it was.

(...). I plugged this monitor and started my computer. It turned right on without any problem. It automatically adjusted the screen for my computer. Unliked my old CRT monitor that I needed to adjust this and that before I could use the monitor. The screen was bright and sharp. I checked for dead pixel and didn't find any. I then set the resolution to the native resolution (1240x1024) of the monitor. The screen got even better. (My resolution was 1024x768 before). The on-screen control was pretty good. The manual was well oraganized. I didn't have to scroll up and down liked in my ViewSonic.

Ok... screen is good and sharp and bright, and there is no dead pixel. Can't ask for anything better for this price.

The only weak point I think is the speakers. But at least it has a pair of speakers to save me some space on my desk. And I can get rid of couple wires under my desk.

(...)

Nice for the price.......2004-06-03

OK, it's a cheap flat panel monitor. But it looks sylish, good image quality, and it has built-in speakers.

Good for the price.......2004-05-08

I wonder if the guy from Circuit City bought the extended warranty. I had a problem with another product and they gave me a voucher, no questions asked .. and I replaced the product. But if you dont buy the warranty .. and the company goes out of business, you are dead in the water.

Regarding the monitor. I like it. It is not the greatest but for the money a good value.

Cheap but great value.......2004-03-20

Cheap ( <$330 after Circuit City rebate) but superb picture quality, response time, light-weight but well built, and easy operation. Most other name brands are outrageously priced for same quality. 4-stars because the warranty is only 1 year and in-built speaker is not loud enough (for me). I know, I can't complain about the speakers when many name brand monitors don't have them at all. I use my old speakers. If you are cost conscious and you want a 17" LCD now and want to move on to 20+" LCD+TV later next year or so when they start pricing them right, this is the best option available now.

Product Description

Extension tubes are designed to enable a lens to focus closer than its normal set minimum focusing distance. Getting closer has the effect of magnifying your subject (making it appear larger in the viewfinder and in your pictures). They are exceptionally useful for macro photography, enabling you to convert almost any lens into a macro lens at a fraction of the cost while maintaining its original optical quality.The extension tubes have no optics. They are mounted in between the camera body and lens to create more distance between the lens and film plane. By moving the lens father away from the film or CCD sensor in the camera, the lens is forced to focus much closer than normal. The greater the length of the extension tube, the closer the lens can focus.The Kenko Auto Extension Tube Set contains three tubes of different length, a 12 mm, 20 mm, and 36 mm, which can be used individually or in any combination to obtain the desired magnification.Kenko's Auto Focus extension tubes are designed with all the circuitry and mechanical coupling to maintain auto focus and TTL auto exposure.

Sennheiser AD-256.......2007-01-08

If you're wondering, there's little difference between aural and circumventable headphones.

These sound great - and will handle a lot of power. I recommend.

Sennheiser HD-265.......2006-12-31

I have owned these headphones for over 5 years and they NEVER have given me a problem. They're VERY comfortable, lightweight and don't squeeze my head or dig into my ears, even with wearing eyeglasses. I can wear them for a long period of time. The bass really kicks but not too much to drown out the amazing trebles and mid-ranges I hear. I wear these to bed to listen to my relaxation and meditation music and I don't hear any outside noises to disturb me. These really help me get to sleep and they're also outstanding if you want to listen to some loud rock music while you're at your computer. BTW if you plug them in to your home-entertainment system you can get excellent results listening to your dvd's or television show without missing a word. These 265's are more than well worth the money that they're being sold for!

HD 265 Linear.......2006-10-01

I cannot give this product a good review. I unpacked this product and put them to my ears and they broke in half. I had a piece of headphone in each hand. I called the seller and they said send them bak to the manufacturer. Nothing like like making the customer responsible for a problem. I sent them back to Sennheiser and asked if I could upgrade to a better headphone such as the remanufactured 600's and that I would be happy to pay. I have to give Sennheiser credit. They did call and offer to uprgrade for $250 plus the HD 265. I explained that I could get a pair of 600's on Amazon for less than that and keep the 265's. That did not seem to matter to them. I guess they could not follow the logic of pay more and get less.
My suggestion is stay away from Sennheiser alltogether and take a look at Ultrasone, GRADO, or Pioneer.
Unlike the Ultrasone's these headphones have an in your head sound as opposed to the much more natural sounding and accurate Ultrasone's. These headphones are also very tight and uncomfortable and connot be worn for long.
Although I own a pair of Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones which I like, I prefer to give business to a company with more character. I also think there are headphones with a much superior build quality and superior sound such as the Ultrasone and GRADO headphones. Save your money and don't buy a name, buy a headphone.

Great sound and comfort.......2006-09-23

I may have gone with the HD-555s if I was basing my decision soley on sound quality, I have noticed a more natural (not so closed-in) sound out of open-ear headphones. Problem is the person next to you can hear them when you listen to them. To the point where it's annoying. Since I share my home office with my girlfriend and I work in close proximity to my co-workers, open-ear was not an option for me.

So... I needed closed-ear headphones and I wanted a pair of Sennheisers. There are basically two choices in this range using those criteria, these and the HD-280s.

First the HD-280s...
I have read reviews of the HD-280s. Everyone loves the sound, but almost everyone mentions the poor construction (pieces cracking off, etc). If I am going to spend over $100 on a pair of headphones I really didn't want even a chance of having little pieces break off. Also, a good amount of people mentioned discomfort with the HD-280s, specifically that they were too tight. I have a pretty big head, so that really put me off as well. Keep in mind though this is just what others have said in their reviews. I have never used the HD-280s, but I went with the masses and didn't buy them for the reasons stated above.

As for the HD-265s...
I have had them for about 2 weeks now and I love them. I definitely made the right choice. They are very big, but remarkably light and comfortable for their size. The construction is solid, very simple and well thought out. No little pieces all over that can break off. There is a nice cushion for the top of your head the the around ear cushions are very comfortable. I have worn these for many hours at a time and experienced no discomfort whatsoever.

As for the sound... stunning. You hear things you didn't even know were in the songs. The bass is deep and sounds like it's coming out of a large subwoofer, it's crazy. The highs are really crisp and very clear over the bass. When you listen to music with these headphones, you know that's what the song was meant to sound like. It's great. I listen to all types of electronic, hip-hop, rock, pop etc and they all sound great with these headphones. I've also used them to play computer video games and they are great for that as well. Really puts you in the game. Also, they close out a lot of ambient room noise, as others have stated -- better than some noise-cancelling headphones.

I definitely recommend the Sennheiser HD-265s if you are looking for a nice pair of closed-ear headphones.

Great Sounding.......2006-06-28

So, I suspected that these headphones would be good...but oh my god are they good. I have them plugged into my computer at work and I am rocking out!! Bass response is amazing. Treble is amazing. The best part about these headphones is that my office mates cannot hear them at all. They have some good passive noise cancelation as well.
