Adapter offers an extreme fisheye effect and a high degree of barrel distortion. It exaggerates depth by pulling nearby objects closer and causing distant objects to recede into the background. Advances in high-index / low-dispersion optical glasses, new barrel materials, and exotic anti-reflection coatings, along with the latest in computer-aided-design / computer-aided-manufacturing, are combined to produce lenses of unprecedented quality. Diamond-cut from crystal-clear, water-white optical glass, Opteka lenses are ground and polished to a precise precision. Because all Opteka lenses are designed and manufactured with the highest possible degree of consistency, you can swap lenses mid-shoot with no discernable variation in color or effect. The unprecedented purity, color saturation and repeatability of Opteka lenses virtually eliminate the need for lab color timing corrections caused by other lenses. This puts more creative control where it belongs - in your hands. Opteka lenses stand up to the most rigorous demands on the stage and on location. Opteka's hard anti-reflective (AR) coating offers protection specially formulated to resist flaking, peeling and scratching. This proprietary AR coating also reduces light loss and flare to less than 1% per surface, compared to untreated glass which has a light loss of 4% per surface. Opteka lenses allow you to shoot with total confidence!

A wide-angle converter increases your angle of view - scenes include more of the landscape, groups include more people, and interiors show more of the room. A .45x wide-angle converter DOUBLES your angle of view, allowing you to get twice as much in the picture (AND your telephoto setting also becomes wider; not zooming in as close). A 2.2x converter will double your camera's maximum focal length, bringing things twice as close. An Opteka conversion lens can actually improve the image that your digital camera receives, and it's about the only accessory that can. By eliminating flare and ghosting, the ugly cousins of reflection and refraction, before they get to your camera's original lens system, your camera gets a much cleaner image to digitize.

Sony Handycam DCR SR55E
Behind a strong and reliable brand comes this value for money but unstylish camcorder.
If style is not the important factor and quality of recording is, then this is a competent camera. The technology is impressive with accurate colour reproduction. The stabilising technology is highly effective in minimising handshake quality deterioration and blurring and a Auto Slow Shutter works well to ensure improved clarity in low light.
Main features :
• 40 GB Internal Hard Drive of high quality Standard Definition providing up to 27 hrs recording. • 25 x Optical Zoom and 2000x digital zoom • Super Steady Shot for still and video image stabilisation. • Still image recording on Memory Stick (1 Megapixel) • 2.7 inch Wide LCD touchscreen. • Fast Start up with a ‘Quick’ On Button.
Zoom features are very important in determining the important functionality of a camera and the 25 x optical zoom provides everything you need. The 2000X Digital Zoom is something you may not need and using it to the full will produce grainy and distorted images.
With a 40 GB internal Hard Drive, the method of file transfer is important. With a Handycam Station, this is done with ease . The Handy Cam Station also acts as a charger and a One Touch Disc Burn button records records 1 hours worth of video onto a DVD in about 20 minutes.
A great feature by Sony is the Smart Protection System that means that your files are protected against accidental deletion. The shock absorption technology adds that addition insurance policy from bumps and knocks.
It is not all roses however, the main problem is that the DCR SR55E lacks style. This is not a camcorder that will turn heads and I would not like to beholding it if someone was standing next to me wanting to compare devises. It looks dates and lacks the smooth elegant feel that makes you feel comfortable holding it. It does not fit comfortably in the hand and for dome this will be a big problem.
The DCR SR55E is a good camera that delivers good quality movies at a good value price. However, when lined up against other cameras in the same price range this may not be my first choice as for me, looks do count.
Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: Less than attractive appearance
I have been using this product for a lengthy period of time, and have found it easy to use, despite my lack of technical experience. I was abl e to use all features with little difficulty, and feel that the price is suitable for the quality of both the product itself and the photos it priduces. It is a perfect size, and easy to carry around, therefore for holiday travellers, it is perfect for making photos to remember your holiday times.
I have ...

Advantages: Easy to record onto DVD, good quality Disadvantages: No viewfinder
I bought this Sony camcorder after having had a Sony mini dv camcorder for around a year. The reason I wanted the hard drive camcorder is because the mini dv one was very very hard to put onto tape. This camcorder is very easy to use and replay and since it's a hard disk camcorder, you can easily record the footage onto DVD. The footage is shown in clips which makes it very easy to find/delete what you are looking for. When you play back, all the ... ...The picture quality is absolutely fine, as is the sound. The only downside, I would say, is that there is no viewfinder so on a sunny day it's difficult to see the screen clearly.
I would definitely recommend this camcorder, if anything for it's ease of use and good quality. ...

Advantages: Image quality, User friendly Disadvantages: A bit expensive but better than others!
Well, Sony Handycam DCR SR55E is a great camcorder when it comes to quality and user friendliness. Many times we buy cameras that are cheap but they don't deliver the quality that we are seeking. Therefore, I believe that the Sony Handycam DCR SR55E is perfect for it's value.
It is a high quality camcorder that can be used by a complete novice like me itself. I didn't have much knowledge about using a camcorder. In fact, all those technical words ... ...Buy this camera for the excellent image quality that is not available in any other camcorders. I would definitely recommend it as the Sony Handycam DCR SR55E lives up to the brand name. It looks less user friendly but you can say that the looks are deceptive. ...
