Repaired my leaky faucet
Perfect fit, works great. No more leaks. Good directions. Save the black plastic piece, it's not included.

Caonon EOS Digital XTi with EFS18-55 & EF 75-300 +extrs
11 of 12 found this helpful This is great step up from point and shoot or manual focus 35mm cameras. The kit I bought came with flash, tripod, wide angle lense, 4GB card plus the two lenses EFS18-55 and EF 75-300. You can select portait, landscape, close up, or let the camera decide. It was a wide range of manual adjustments too. I purchased a corded bulb and took some great night shots. I even set up a tripod (not the flimsy one that came with it) in the back seat of the helicopter I fly and took some night shots. They turned out GREAT, lights moving in the background but the instuments were fairly clear. Can't wait to shoot lightning with it, just waiting for a storm. I tried the macro and that works great too. I tried to take some photos from the helicopter of another plane, I selected 1600 ISO, I developed one to 8X10, it was good, but somewhat grainy. Next time I'll try a lower ISO. My biggest regret with buying this camera was the 75-300mm lense, I wish I didn't buy it with the camera and bought the 70-300mm IS (image stabilized lense) instead. It's about $500, but it cuts down on hand shake, probably not for most people, but I do a lot of arial photography so I need it. I checked out some of the sites that posted photos taken from the XTi and the photos are all crisp. They were using the L-series lense. The lenses that came with it are good, but the L-series photos looked sharper. I'd like to see a comparison to be sure. The flash is nothing great, but I don't take a lot of portraits, so it suits me. I can't complain about the software, but on some sites people were complaining. Downloading is easy, you can hook the camera up directly or pull the card out and use the USB. I tried it on a computer without the software installed and I could still pull the pictures off.
I picked this model for the price/features. You can't get a better camera for the price. The next model up is about twice the price if not more. I wanted one that I could use a variety of lenses.
If I did it again, I would buy everything seperate. The package deals are packed with the cheapest of stuff. The leather bag, the velcro needs to be stitched on again. The lenses are plastic and feel cheap, but L-series lenses are 10X the price, probably not worth it for this camera. I think the camera body is very good, only downside is the plastic feel and hand grip is for small Japanese hands, but I've gotten used to it. For most people, these lenses are probably all they will ever need. I have some Cokin filters that I use to enhance the sky colors, red and blue, great for sunsets, etc.
I'm having a lot of fun with it and hope to go to the Grande Canyon this summer to really use it.
When I purchased it, I had to pay by phone, they talked me into buying another battery for about $100. I found the one with the camera takes a lot of pictures and probably didn't need the other, except when I go hiking it will come in handy.
I hope this helped. Just for background: I'm not a professional, just self taught amature. I had a Canon AL-1 manual focus. I was going to stay with 35mm, but decided I've wasted enough film on poor shots, and didn't find out until after I developed it. Digital is environment friendly and you can tell instantly if your shot was bad. I glad I went the digital route.
Wish I could post a photo. Enjoy.

Simple with some TVs
I've tried this cable on 4 flat screen tv's. Two did not have a USB port and would not accept the cable. The other two did. One had a little trouble but when it worked, the image was great. I played a lot of Youtube videos and the quality was better than Dishnet HD. I don't blame the trouble with the cable, it's an older TV but did work great when it linked up. Was hoping to use it at the hotel but no USB port. Not sure if the USB is required or it's just for charging.
