Good, reliable flashgun.

Advantages: Compact size.
Disadvantages: Shame it can't wirelessly trigger.

...it in conjunction with the Canon 5D body, and it's not let me down yet. It's equally at home being used directly on the camera, or being taken off and triggered with a cable or wireless trigger (you'll have to buy these though). I have used it for weddings, portraits sessions, pet photography and studio photography all with great sucess. The auto function is really excellent and in combination with the camera judges the light levels well, although ...
...tend to dial down the exposure compensation and then bump it up a little in post processing. There are a good range of third party accessories available that fit this flash, from ring flashes to diffusers and just about everything in between. Be warned, this flash does eat batteries if you use it on full power. However, when used on quarter power, I can get a whole wedding reception out of one set of rechargables! For the money, this is an excellent ...

Review of Canon NB 5L Lithium Ion

Fits like a stylish glove

Advantages: Quality, fit, design/looks
Disadvantages: NONE

...bought this case for my Canon Ixus 950 IS digital camera. The quality of the case is superb, soft leather with a soft lining so as not to scratch the camera/screen, the flap shuts with a substantial click from the magnetic press stud and does not pop open easily, the case complements the Ixus cameras perfectly, also the case is a lovely snug fit on the camera so as not to add any bulk. Although the case is designed just to take the camera, I can ...
...cloth, but for anyone who wants addition storage, i.e room for extra battery (but the batteries on the Ixus cameras are way more than adequte for a days shooting so I cannot see many people needing to have an additional battery) or an extra memory card (I cannot understand why some people need to carry an extra memory card, after all why don't they just buy a big memory card in the offset which would be more than adequte for their picture storage). ...

Review of Canon DCC-70 Soft case Digital photo camera

Canon RC shutter release

Advantages: Forget Camera shake, well, almost.
Disadvantages: Can be a little fiddly

...to the camera. Canon have also made the RC5 remote, which, whilst it is slightly bigger and a little more comfortable to use, doesn't give you the option to pick between timer delay, and simple shutter release. This remote will easily give you a good 5M range, although I tend to use mine standing next to the camera when it's mounted on a tripod, simply to remove as much camera shake as I can. Obviously the windy weather can also contribute to camera ...
...for that yet. Expect to pay anthing from £9 to £35 - so it pays to shop around. Downsides: It is a little on the small side, and can be fiddly when outdoors (particularly if cold) - the small size doesn't necessarily make it hard to use, just more likely to drop it. But on the plus side: Comes with a shoulder strap mount so you can keep it attached to your camera when not in use, good range and has dual function. ...

Review of Canon RC 1 Infrared Camera remote control for Camera

Canon gadget bag. Excellent camera bag for your canon gear.

Advantages: Big enough for the average user, strong, comfortable to carry, flexible in use.
Disadvantages: More than one very long super-telephoto lens would be more difficult to accommodate.

Canon gadget bag When I recieved this bag I expected the bag to be slightly bigger than it actually was, but it is very flexible to use and you can fit a surprising amount of gear into it, without it being so big that it is awkward to use. I have two camera bodies, an EOS 40D & an EOS 50D, not the smallest EOS cameras by a long way, and four lenses, a 10-22mm wide angle, a 17-85mm, a 60mm macro and a 70-300mm tele-zoom, plus a few acessories, ...
...another lens, lenshoods or a flashgun should I need it. The bag is designed so that all your equipment is easily accessible, with everything to hand, and the dividers keep everything in place, so you are not continually searching around for things lost in the corners of the bag, in fact there are no sharp corners inside this bag for anything to become lodged in. If you have some very long super telephoto L series lenses, you could fit one laid down ...
