Using this card is a breeze. It is so much faster than other memory cards I've used with a read/write speed of 20MBps.

Always been a big fan of SanDisc Extreme line of memory cards. They did not let me down. Got a great price and the cards are fast and efficient.

Summary: Need r/w speed specs for all flash cards
Reviewed - 2008-04-24

As usual, Amazon delivered the correct product on time. I have ordered hundreds of products from Amazon over the past 10 years, and returned a few, and never had an issue with Amazon.
As for the SanDisk Extreme III card; I purchased this particular card because it was one of the few which printed the r/w spec (>20 Mb/s) in the description. Most flash cards do not give the buyer any idea of how fast they are, and since this is a critical measure of performance, I would not buy any card without this info.
I'm using this card in a Nikon D80, and it is working very well.
If consumers refuse to buy cards (or flash drives) which do not specify the minimum r/w speed, the manufacturers will have to rethink their pig-in-a-poke advertising policy.

I was looking for a sdhc card for my D40 and this baby fit the bill just right.... you get a sdhc reader , the class 6 card itself and RescuePro ($40 value onto itself) . The software , rescuePro is on a mini cd and comes with Mac and PC versions with serial number .

Overall a great value , especially if you were to buy these items separately .

Summary: Works great in the G7

This card works fine in the Canon G7 camera. At the maximum image size it gives me over 900 photos, enough to handle an entire vacation worth of shooting without having to upload them from the camera. If you are someone who travels, this is one of the best investments you can make. No need to find an internet cafe or photo shop to have someone upload your photos from your camera....just keep shooting and upload the whole bunch when you get home !

Dry tip, ineffective. I figured it would have had to have some kind of wet solution inside it to wash smudges. All this thing does is smear the dry black gunk that comprises the polishing tip. I got no benefit out of this item whatsoever.

My daughter's D50 stopped working correctly; the shutter locked up and the battery icon was blinking. Replacing the original battery with this one fixed the problem. Apparently they don't last forever.

Summary: Long-lasting, expensive battery
Reviewed - 2008-05-03

I bought this battery as a spare for my D80 because I was planning to use it at a wedding. Triggering an off-camera SB600 with the CLS system, I figured that repeated onboard commander flashes would certainly drain the power quickly.

Well, it turned out that even after 700+ shots, I still had around 25% power. I've found that in most situations where I'm not constantly playing around in the menus (and I always have the picture review turned off), I can get close to 900 shots on one charge.

The battery does not lose a noticeable amount of power when it sits idle in the camera for a week or two either. I now alternate between batteries to reduce the amount of recharging, as I'm guessing that it'll increase the overall life.

I'd give it 5-stars if it were a little cheaper...

Reviewed - 2008-04-11

What can one say about a camera battery? You charge this bad boy according to the instructions, stuff it into your camera, and it glares at you and dares you to run it dry. Running it dry is possible, but I'll bet it takes you a few days to do it, unless you take hundreds of photographs with a built-in flash. Then it might only last one day for you.

Pop it back in the charger, and an hour or so later it is ready to go again. It just simply keeps on going.

My filter came with a slight nick on the glass. I emailed Amazon and the very next day they ship out a new one for me without me having to do anything else.

I ordered 2 Tiffen 52 mm UV filters for the 2 lenses that came with my Nikon D60. One filter was fine, the glass in the other filter was loose in the ring. I immediately returned the defective filter to Amazon and they promptly sent me a new one. I am pleased with the filters and Amazon's customer service. I just bought 2 Tiffen Photo Essentials scontaining the UV Protector, 812 Warming filet, and Circular Polarizer. All of these filters appear to be O.K.

Summary: Horrible Lens Flare!!!
Reviewed - 2008-04-23

I bought a Canon 50mm f1.8 lens along with this filter, and after one night of taking photos, I will never use this filter in conjunction with my lens again. I've never seen such bad lens flare in my life--i.e., this filter catches a lot of the light going into your lens so that when you take pictures, it takes doubles of lights. You'll have one set of streetlights where they should be, and the streetlights' ghosts across the frame. Very annoying. Since it was only $7, I didn't return the filter, but if you're buying this for your 50mm, don't. At night, your lens is meant to be shot unadorned.

Summary: Great Value

The quality is excellent, the most used lens for me is the circular polarizing filter. It's great for digital cameras, especially the canon a620 with its lens attachment. Don't recommend this for professionals though. Came with a nice lens pouch, but it's not compact.

The remote works fine as long as it's close enough to the camera. In some lighting conditions it takes more than one button press to activate the shutter. I would reccomend buying the remote, as it does do a pretty good job, even with it's limitations.

Summary: Nice little remote for the D40x
Reviewed - 2008-05-08

I bought this remote about 8-9 months ago, shortly after I purchased my Nikon D40x. I used it enough at that time to figure out how to use the remote then I put it away until 2 weeks ago. Happy to say the remote still worked with the same battery. I used it when taking pictures at the Grand Canyon and like another reviewer, found I had to have the remote close to the camera when using it (maybe the battery needs replacing soon?). The remote runs on a button battery; replacements can be bought at most stores which sell batteries. The only complaint I have about the remote is its holder which has a slot to fit the (flimsy) strap that comes with the camera, otherwise one must improvise or keep good track of where they keep the remote when they're not using it.

I took this remote with me to Peru and Machu Picchu. This worked wonderfully at ranges up to 30+ feet. I was able to take group photos with the camera on a tripod two tiers above my position. Also, this works great to prevent shaking the camera when trying to take low-light pictures on a tripod. Amazing traffic shots from freeway over-passes. The NIKON has an instant, 2-second and 10-second delay. The 2 second delay works best for group shots so people don't smile for 10 seconds and miss the moment.

I really love this lens, its gives great images and the Vibration Reduction is a dream. I do a lot of nature photography and its great for stationary objects. It's kinda slow on the auto-focus so I wouldn't recommends it for wildlife or sports unless you are using manual focus. Vibratiion Reduction allows you to get picture's at almost 3 steps lower with no blur (Awesome in low light situations) There are better lens's, but for the money its well worth it

This lens makes a great companion for the D40 and it's 18-55mm kit lens. When you consider that the Nikon 70-300mm with comparable maximum aperture would set you back over twice what this little gem costs, it's sort of a no-brainer for the average amateur.

I bought this lens for my Nikon D40. I'm very impressed. It's so much better than the lens which came with the camera, even in low light situations. The vibration reduction makes it easy to handhold.

It takes a little creative thinking on how to use it to get the shot I want, but it does the job.

I used tripod and the picture quality is like I taken it in a well-lit room. I am not professional or great photographer but I like to travel and like to take good pictures. And I think this is so far the best Camera for this price range. I was almost going to buy Nikon D80 but after reading lot of reviews I decided to try this and I am glad I decided to buy this camera.

I have had my Nikon D40 since Nov of 2007 and I've been snappin away ever since. This is my first DSLR and I don't see why anyone would need anything more expensive. I find the pictures are super and the functions are easy to understand and use. The menu is easy and if you don't know how to use or what certain feature in the menu means, you hit the ?/ question button at the bottom of the camera while you are in menu mode and it tells you what you need to know. A built in maual! What a great thing. It's helped me out a lot. There are so many more great things. One thing I can say that it does not have a live view of your image you are about to shoot but you get used to not having it. It is super easy to view it afterwards. Going back and forth from a shot phtot to the ready to shoot mode is quick and easy. Lens swapping is a breeze. Always keep handy a special lint and scratch or abrasive free cleaning cloth that is designed for lenses so you can keep your lens fingerprint and lint free. Always buy a UV fiter for each lens you buy and pay attention to your lens thread for buying the right filters. UV filters will protect your lenses from damaging fingerprints and scratches. Keep caps on when you are not using your camera. Protection Protection!!!

I find this camrea is a great camera for someone who is starting out in the Digital SLR phase of their lives.
