 "Good value if you don't need a professional tripod" 2010-02-03
By N. Haack (Milwaukee, WI)
This is not a professional tripod and is not meant to be. If you don't need a professional tripod, however, this one works great. It has a level, good mobility, and is lightweight for going on long shoots.

 "Acceptable" 2010-01-30
By Robert Shea (Lakenheath, UK)
The tripod is very lightweight and works as advertised. It comes with the detachable head that more expensive kits ask you to purchase separately. It does reach the advertised 70" height. Which is excellent for my very tall wife, but not so great very stability. We were at a crowded photo shoot and had to catch the tripod a couple of times as other folks easily knocked it over.

The legs extend easily and lock with one hand.

Positioning the head takes some getting used to and you have to work in two planes so panning and scanning are more difficult. It's better for panoramic shots than action shots. If you only pan in plane (football, soccer) it works fairly well. But the plastic head components aren't as smooth as a metal ball and socket.

It will do until I can find a professional tripod kit.

The only real failure was the tongue of the zipper on the carry bag breaking the first trip out. It still zips so...

 "not built very well" 2010-01-30
By Helga Brauer
seems like a good item, and seemed sturdy. When I received it, pieces were already broken. I should have bought it in person. the seller obviously doesn't care about his/her customers because the box wasn't even sealed so the seller should have checked the product before sending it out.

I received this unit quickly and was initially pleasedwith it but could not get the head to tighten down on the rotation of head put it away for the day, when I opened it again the head feel off in my hands broke loose from the tubing shaft that cranks it up I called 47th street photo and explained the problem and they replaced the unit within the week very pleasant to deal with would not hesitate to buy from them again.

 "Awesome Frame!" 2010-02-07
By Cheryl (Florida)
I love the different features this frame has. It was the largest screen I could find and I was worried about the quality of the picture, but it is wonderful! The images are crisp and clear. I have it in my office and get compliments on it daily. This frame is definitly an excellent deal and definitely something I would buy again!

 "Great size and great resolution for the price" 2010-02-06
By K. Henn (Detroit, MI)
Important criteria to me:



1. Price: can't beat it, and free shipping to top it off!



2. Size: Biggest frame I could find online, viewable area comparable to 10x13 pictures on my wall. We can clearly see pics from across large room, unlike our prior 7-inch frame.



3. Appearance: nice-looking frame, image is bright, photo quality is good.



4. Reliability & Ease of Use: I've read in other reviews that the internal memory has a tendency to go corrupt, so I didn't try to use it and just got an extra SD card instead. That works well because it makes for easy transfer from my camera without having to move the frame. Using an SD card is super easy because you just plug it in & turn the unit on.



**IMPORTANT NOTE:** I also bought a 10-inch frame from Opteka and it was horrible. The internal memory wouldn't work, so I tried an SD card but it would freeze on a random picture 5-15 minutes after turning it on. The only thing that would un-freeze it was to turn the unit off then on again. Several other owners of the 10-inch frame had similar issues even after getting replacement units. Strangely, we haven't had any of those issues with this frame by the same company, though I've chosen to play it safe and just use an SD card. Also, I've heard some reviews that it doesn't handle folders well in either the internal memory or SD card, so I haven't used them.

 "Poor stand, user manual, remote and s/w but great picture display quality." 2010-02-06
By Sachin Vaidya
Very poorly designed stand for this frame. It does not support the weight of the frame.

The stand fails to keep frame standing on a table or countertop. It slips and the frame falls flat which can damage the frame. Very dispointed with stand design for this good display quality frame.

So many users have written review about poor frame stand design but the manufacturer doesn't get it. They could simply attach a stand that comes standard with any photo frame that stands on a table.

Other than the stand the frame picture quality is good. If you adjust brightness and contrast to your taste then pictures look wonderful. The viewing angle is standard for LCD and pictures do not look good out of 120 degree from the center of frame.

The menu is crudely designed and not helpful at all. You have to play with it for an hour to figure out how it works and retains options that you have chosen.

The user manual is poorly designed and does not make sense when you are throwing fits adjusting the menu.

The remote quality is poor and you have to press buttons hard to make it work.

The s/w in frame is still faulty and does not display pictures in sequence you want or chosen in menu no matter how you arrange them on the SD stick.

Overall this frame is designed to display digital picture with good quality without any other features that will make you feel that this was a great buy - poor stand, poor user manual, poor remote and poor s/w - all it does is display pictures so enjoy that feature as long is it is working fine.

I guess, for the price and picture size you can expect working life of 2/3 years and move on.

 "I almost returned this product but changed my mind" 2010-02-06
By Footloose Photographer (Santa Cruz, NM, USA)
The price was right and the quality of the digital images is great. I am a professional photographer and I thought that it would be a good way to display examples of my work. However, some of the images took forever to display and, when they finally displayed, they were fuzzy and distorted. I was so disgusted that I got a return authorization from Amazon and had already packed everything back into the box. The strange thing was that it was only for certain images and that kind of nagged on my mind for a day. Long story short, I ended up discovering that it had to do with the formatting of the .jpeg images when they are first created. There are three formatting options that you can choose when you create a .jpeg image. If the image is created using "Baseline Standard" then it displays without a problem. If you have images created using "Progressive" then you are going to be extremely unhappy with this product. I didn't try out the third format, "Baseline Optimized". The big rub is that there is no easy way to tell by looking at the image or metadata how the image was formatted when it was created. Also, Opteka seems completely oblivious to this problem, which isn't addressed in either their instructions or on their website.



After a few hours of searching out and reformatting all of the aberrant images I ended up with a digital frame that I like a great deal. However, I would not recommend this product for people who do not have the ability or willingness to re-format .jpeg images.

 "Worst lens I've ever seen" 2009-12-11
By GPlaza (Brighton, MA, USA)
I guess you get what you paid for. But really, this lens is unusable. The amount of distortion is out of control...almost looks like you are taking an out of focus picture with a soft filter (and the wide angle is really the last element in the picture). I returned it.

 "It's Okay - My Opteka" 2009-12-01

I did receive this product efficiently and in a nice package - unfortunately I am having serious problems with the macro - it will not focus on my D40 - oh well, at least I can have fun with the Fisheye.

 "Interesting and fun lens" 2009-11-21

Although there is some slight blurriness on the outside edges of the picture, overall, the picture is a clear, interesting wide angle picture. As with all Opteka products, the lens appears to be quality construction at a very reasonable price.

 "Love this strap!" 2010-01-02
By Kristi in Rochester (Rochester, NY United States)
I have a wonderful new Panasonic Lumix micro four thirds DSLR, which I purchased - in part - for its small size. I wasn't happy with the shoulder strap, and couldn't seem to find the kind of small strap I'd used on my old Minolta APS SLR.



When I came across this Opteka wrist grip strap, it turned out to be the perfect solution! It screwed into the mount on the bottom of my camera (with a duplicate mount on the bottom of the wrist grip, so I can still use a tripod), and with a few adjustments fit my hand perfectly. Due to the design of my particular camera, the base covers my battery/card door, so I need to unscrew it to recharge the battery; that is hardly a fault of the wrist grip.



The strap puts the camera into a perfect shooting position to use the LCD and controls, and to have the best no-shake grip of a digital camera I've ever experienced. Overall, this is the best $10 camera accessory I've ever bought.

 "Like it but BE CAREFUL!" 2009-12-27
By Lantana Al (Lantana, TX USA (near Dallas))
I like this strap but I was using it with my new Canon 7D with vertical grip and using the tripod mount attachment. This causes the camera not to sit level, so when I set it down it fell over due to the position of the 580EX flash that was attached to the 7D. It damaged the shoe on the flash but fortunately I think everything else is undamaged and I can get a new shoe for the 580EX. This incident caused me to stop using the tripod mount attachment and instead I use the anchors provided by the 7D and the vertical grip. I like this much better. The camera can now be sat down level and shouldn't fall over like it did before.

 "Forces awkward hand position" 2009-12-25
By Bobb L. Bittner
I'm not wild about how this fits on my Canon T1i. When you have the strap tight enough to be effective, it forces your hand into a position nearly perpendicular to the camera body. This is uncomfortable, makes it difficult to reach the buttons easily, and makes it very awkward to raise the camera to your eye. It is also awkward to shoot with the camera oriented vertically.



Based on some other reviews, it sounds like this strap might work better if you have a battery grip. I think that the battery grip would give you some extra room inside the strap, and that would allow you orient your hand in a more natural position.



The quality of the strap seems good. If you know that you like using this type of strap, I think this one would be a good choice.

 "Thought I'd give it a try" 2009-12-18
By KWJ (Groves, TX United States)
Not really designed well and uncomfortable - just like so many reviewers said. Guess I had to see for myself. If you have large hands I wouldn't recommend this strap. Would probably be a better fit for a woman's hand.

 "Opteka EN-EL3E Won't Work In New Nikon D90" 2009-12-23
By S. Kaplan (Marin County, CA, USA)
Purchased the Opteka EN-EL3E for my new Nikon D90. Charged it in the Nikon charger and even though the charger shows it charged the D90 shows it is not so battery will not work in D90. Contacted 47st Photo with two emails asking to return for replacement and they do not answer. Save your money and your time and buy a genuine Nikon battery, at least their support people answer you!

 "Don't waste your time" 2009-12-23
By I. Castillo (Texas)
Save yourself some trouble and buy the real Nikon battery. The new EN-EL3e is an improved battery from it's predecessor. I purchased this Opteka for my D90 and it DID NOT recognize it. If I were you I would not risk it. It was cheap enough for me to try, but not worth the money or RISK of you do try it on your Nikon and something goes wrong so I am returning it to Amazon. From now on, I play no games an only buy Nikon original stuff. Amazon has a very good price on the Nikon branded battery. You pay for what you get, in this case I got nothing though ;-)

 "Not reliable" 2009-12-16
By David E. Turner (Hollywood, MD)
I have been using this product for 3 months. First couple days of use camera began to display low battery indicator earlier than expected. I installed another spare and continued. This went on a few times before I recieved a low battery indicator after fully charging it. I removed the battery and reinstalled and this went away. Now every time I use it and recieve a premature low battery indicator I just remove the battery and reinsert it and it clears. This hasn't hurt me yet but I know a disappointment will be lingering in the future when I miss a shot because of an invalid low battery indicator. Sometimes it happens after 5 shots sometimes after 50 but never has it actually been low. I suppose for some reason the contacts aren't making up completely. I am using original nikon batteries from now on.

 "This battery cannot be charged for D90" 2009-12-12
By S. Tsoy (San Francisco)
After purchasing this spare replacement battery (Opteka EN-EL3e)for my D90, I found that it could not be charged by Nikon Charger.

When I asked Nikon custom service, they said D90 does not support 3rd party battery. I am still waiting for the firm reply from the vendor after 2 weeks time of purchase. The reply from the vendor seems a little bit slow. May be I need to return it for refund later?

 "Didn't work with my D90" 2009-12-01

 "Zipper fail" 2009-12-20
By Anh
The zipper on this product messed up after less than a month. This case fits the Canon XSi with kit lens pretty snugly. However, I do not like how it hugged (or did not hug, rather) the camera. If you have the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens attached to your XSi, it will not fit. Also, I'm a little embarrassed to carry this case around, because unlike the pictures online, in real life it looks like the seat of a bicycle.... so it looks like I'm carrying a bicycle seat (or as my sister likes to say -- that crotch piece) around.

 "low quality zipper" 2009-12-07
By C. Jayalath (IN)
Zipper is of extremely bad quality. Always had to try several times to properly close the thing. Returned this the very next day. Was trying to use this for my Rebel XSi. May be the bag is not made for this model.

It's good overall. the zipper can tend to get out of place.

 "Cheap and small" 2009-11-27
By Arun Madhavan (Tucson, AZ, USA)
This is a decently made holster for my Panasonic FZ35. However, I doubt it would fit anything bigger than a small SLR.



One thing that is poorly made is the belt loops for the holster (comes off), but I guess any belt loop for such a big holster would tear off. However, if the loops come off, the holster is still functional, and does not have gaping holes.
