Dabsvalue 01024 15'' Black WOOD

Advantages: Good performance. Great fun. Good value.
Disadvantages: Limited uses. Canon owners should consider Canon's version.

...I purchased this lens brand new in preference to the Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 fisheye, primarily because I thought it might be a better lens than the now aging Canon version. The Canon lens has not been updated in many years, having been designed originally for 35mm Canon EOS cameras. The Sigma on the other hand, is a more up-to-date design, benefiting from more recent developments in both lens design and technology and 'should' therefore, I would have thought, been a superior offering. I was wrong! The Sigma is by no means a 'bad' lens, simply not quite as 'good' as the old Canon lens. Very good results are in fact possible but a little work is necessary post production, through image editing software, to get the very best from it. Also, a little aforethought helps when shooting with this lens and some appreciation of both it... Read review

Advantages: attractive, good quality pics, great choice of options
Disadvantages: needs a memory card to store pictures

...i brought this camera as me and my friends were having a night out, and i was fed up of having them take loads of really good pictures and then deleting them/taking ages to get them on fb. so i took matters into my own hands. i actually ended up purchasing this camera by accident, the one i originally wanted, as recommended by a friend, was out of stock. so i brought this one because it was cheap (£78 inc. memory card!!) and the megapixel was pretty high!! in my opinion this is easily the best camera out of a selection my friends have, that costed them up to £100 more. the picture quality is amazing, there are loads of differnt options from "vivid" to "black and white" and most importantly it is simple to use. that for me was what i was really worried about, buying a camera and then struggling for hours on end to figure out how it works...
