Very handy little thing Advantages: Easy to use and robust! Disadvantages: None found yet ...simple to use. On my Nikon D50, all i have to do is hold one button and swivel the dial a couple clicks and there, all set up. This allows the photographer to take photos of close up wildlife from a distance (so that they arent scared by some big human). It is also handy when it comes to astronomical photography. When the remote mode has been activated and the shutter speed turned right the way down until it reads "--", you can press the remote button ... ...until you press the remote button again - no timings whatsoever. You can determine the time the shutte is open. It is also very robust. I managed to drop it in a stream where it sank for a few seconds before i fished it out. I then threw it to my friend to dry off and he missed it so it crashed into the concrete path. It was perfectly fine - needed a little drying though. I highly recommend this item as it is so easy to use and yet so useful (and ...

Put on a Hotshoe Advantages: Sophisticated Flash Technology Disadvantages: Perhaps too sophisticated for many ...just delete them. The Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash is slightly larger than the previous models in the series and heavier at 375g. But I found the unit overall not to much of a strain to use and quite comfortable in the hand - the flash body has a nicer textured feel to it. Overall I really like the solid build quality of the 580EX II. Compared to the earlier lenses, it has a reshaped structure and the IR wireless slave sensor is in a different ... ...using just one button, the Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash rotates 180 degrees to both sides as well as 90 degrees upward and 7 degrees downward. One feature that might appeal to some is that the unit can be used as a wireless E-TTL master when paired up with other Speedlite Flashes. This means that you can essentially use it in conjunction with other flashes. I have taken some decent photographs using this flash with my Canon EOS 300D - the unit ...

Apple iPod Dock Connector Advantages: Easy to use, decent speed Disadvantages: Not particularly reliable This cable comes with your iPod. It's the only way provided free with the iPod for you to recharge it. You plug it into a desktop or laptop computer and your iPod will charge via the power provided to the computer. It seemed adequate enough when I was first using it, as long as the cable works and it's not too slow there aren't many complaints you can have unless it breaks. Clearly my luck isn't too good. The cable broke after 2-3yrs, it didn't ... ...recharge but which is cheaper, replacing the iPod battery or buying a new cable? I wasn't too pleased to find out the price of a new cable so I decided to go with a cheap import from Hong Kong (not an iPod brand cable) which cost me only £2-3 and I've had no problems with it as of yet. I certainly wouldn't pay the £13-16 the iPod cable costs. Overall I'd say the cable is easy to use, fairly speedy but not reliable. I've had many different types ...

Steadfast, loyal and true!! Advantages: Reasonably priced, portable but very sturdy! Disadvantages: could do with reaching just a few more inches at full height. ...photography too, starting with the Sony VCT-R640 tripod. Although this tripod is nowhere near top of the range it does pretty much everything you would expect of it and at a great price. Sony products are always of high quality and this tripod is no different. It can be used for still imaging cameras or video cameras as long as they do not exceed 3Kg in weight which unless you are using top end professional cameras with huge lenses they will not. ... ...what you are filming. The Sony VCT-R640 tripod comes with a quick release mounting shoe which means the camera can be removed and replaced on the tripod very quickly without it having to be unscrewed each time, simply screw the camera to the fitting shoe then attach the shoe to the tripod with one click and remove when needed and replace with simple one click motions. At its lowest height this tripod stands around 21 inches stretching to a massive ... thebigc1690 22.01.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony VCT R640 Tripod
More brilliance from sony. Advantages: Brilliant battery life, looksa and size Disadvantages: Probarably don't need a spare ...This battery came with the Sony Cybershot DSC-W55 and i have been using it for about 2 months and have not found a fault with it. It came free with the Camera (Amazom £139) but it can be bought separately for around £20. The battery charges up through a charger which plugs to a normal plug socket and takes around 4hrs depending on how charged the battery is. I got this charger with the camera and you should get it with any sony camera you get. The ... ...replacement but i have not found a need for one. I recently took just one battery on a 10 day holiday to Italy and found that the battery lasted all holiday, taking in excess of 200 pictures, and it was not dry at the end of it. As for the size of it, it is only 35mmx41mmx8 mm and weighes a megre 300g. This size not only means that the camera is that much more compact but also a spare is very easy to transport as is the charger. I know that it gets ...
