Comment on Kata DHP-485 DPS Series Digital Hip Pouch for Small Digital Point and Shoot Cameras with Accessories by Dr. T. Nguyen

This hip case is great. The materials is made of very light weight fabric and is very durable. The good craftsmanship is apparent. The strap hooks are very secure. There is room in the bag for your camera and other travel documents/tickets or money. You can wear it as a hip case or there is a belt loop. The strap can be extended long enough to become a shoulder bag.

Really nice product for the price. I would like to eventually go to a wireless remote, but for now this is perfect! Recommend for anyone who is a photographer on a budget!

I haven’t had a chance to use it much, but for the price I wanted one to have for the occasion I needed it. It seems to work great and a much better price than the brand name one.

Item arrived in a timely manor. Package not damaged.

Connected to my Sony Ax100.

Would not work after many, many trys.

Took 10′ cord to Wolf Camera for help.

They could not get it to work.

Tried to contact Sony about problem.

No help.

You win some, you loose some, some are not worth

the hassle.

This is a remote shutter release for your Sony Alpha DSLR with a 10 foot cable. Works exactly as you'd expect; half press focuses the camera if you're in AF mode, full press then releases the shutter taking the picture.

The product is indeed different from the picture as a previous reviewer stated so make sure to view his additionally added picture which is correct.

I use this remote for my A-100 and as some reviewer stated, it sometimes fails to work because the plug doesn't get fully seated into the outlet. Make sure to really push it in there. If it's not working, just take it out and try putting it in again. The remote just completes the circuit of the three-pin connection so if its not working, its most likely the connection and not a defective remote.

Buy the 10' foot remote instead of the 3' remote because it barely costs more and you can always keep the extra cordage velcro strapped up when you don't need the extra length.

Good overall product and I plan to get tons of use out of this when taking family portraits that I want to be in and when taking tripod mounted long exposure shots.

Happy shooting. Rating: 4 / 5

The cord is a great length for shooting, esp outdoor weddings. I love that it was so inexpensive, it really helped as I was setting up my business to find something at such a good price. It fit both my Sony Alpha 900 and my brothers Sony Alpha 350 with no problems.

Comment on Canon EW78D Lens Hood for EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 Canon SLR Lens by rjgsphinx

Great quality and you should have one for all your glass. Helps with flare but mainly protects the lens. Combine it with a good quality UV filter for the best protection.

Canon EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Camerasis not the sharpest but is a good travel lens.

Not quite sure what to say about the lens hood…it does what it supposed to do however when you use it you can’t use the lens cover which was very disappointing to me. I assumed (shame on me) that I would be able to snap the lens cover on after shooting my photos but in order to do that I have to remove this lens hood so it now becomes a choice of what do I really want to use????
