Canon CBK4-300 Rechargeable Battery and Charger Kit for PowerShot Cameras The Canon CBK4-300 AA battery and charger kit is designed to work with any Canon digital camera that’s powered by AA batteries. This charger kit comes with four AA rechargeable batteries powered by Nickel Metal-Hydride technology that’s free of the frustrating “memory” effect. Although designed by Canon for use in Canon cameras, these batteries will work in any electronic device powered by AA batteries.

What’s in the box
Canon CBK4-300 AA battery charger, flip-down plug adaptor and four AA rechargeable batteries.
Customer Review: A little pricey
Charges fairly fast and batteries seem to last longer. Easier than carring extra alkaline batteries with you. As anything else you are paying for the name.
Customer Review: Very Good
It is working perfect. It is able to charge 4 empty batteries to full in 5 hrs, I have checked. The indicator shows whether the batteries are full or not. Its better than what I had expected.

Customer Review: Universal Camera Case
This is a nice case for your camera, but its just a case nothing really great about it, if you just want a case to put your camera in then I recommend this product to you. If your looking for a real leather case from sony then you should maybe do more research on Amazon to find the real one. Other than that its great for us, thank you.
Customer Review: Great for what it is.
This is a cute little case-fits my camera perfectly, and it seems to be of high quality. We’ll see once I carry it around a bit.
My only criticism is that this isn’t exactly a “hottest deal ever”-it’s a knockoff. Sony makes an identical model, but sells it for about $40. I’m happy with this one, but I’m a little suspicious about it now. It arrived packaged in a clear bag-no identifying packaging whatsoever.
For less than $10, though, it’s really cute and exactly what I wanted-it looks like a little leather wallet, but for a camera.

Nikon SB-900 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras The SB-900 i-TTL Speedlight leads the Nikon Creative Lighting System by delivering the portability, power, and versatility to support any photographer’s creative lighting imagination. The SB-900 works as a wireless standalone flash, or you can use it as a commander or wireless remote light source. In commander mode, the SB-900 controls up to three remote Speedlight groups and an unlimited number of compatible Speedlights, with four wireless channel options helping you manage wireless conflicts in multiple photographer environments. The flash also offers streamlined controls and menus, including a rotary select dial that sets key flash functions quickly, along with a prominent master and remote control switch to simplify wireless operation.

Photographers working on zoom photos will appreciate the SB-900’s expanded auto power zoom coverage, which ranges from 17 to 200mm in the FX format to 12 to 200mm in the DX format. Photographers also have the choice of three light distribution patterns: standard (for general illumination), center-weighted (for portraits), and even (for groups or interiors). Finally, the SB-900 automatically identifies mounted color gel filters and adjusts the camera’s auto white balance setting (available with select Nikon digital SLR cameras). Other details include automatic FX/DX format identification; user-friendly firmware updating; flash tube overheat protection; and a drip-proof mounting foot cover.

Customer Review: Good Camera for the price
This is my 3rd Canon PowerShot camera. I used to have the A720 before this one. The A590 IS takes nice pictures, however the battery life is too short and when using the flash light, you have to wait few seconds before you can take another picture. It seems to be an issue for all powershot cameras. When using the video, my previous camera used to display the remaining time left. On this one, there is no way to tell if this is 2mns or 10 mns movie. The speaker is also in a wrong spot, where you grab the camera. Most of the time, you put your finger on it.
Other than that it’s a good camera.
Customer Review: Terrible in the rain!
I will make this simple and quick.
I love this camera for its photographic qualities, great videos with the extra memory,etc.
But take this thing out in the rain and take photos, and it will be ruined! It was not raining heavy, but condensation became apparent inside of the LCD screen, thusly no more working camera became a fact in my case.
I have just ordered the Canon Power Shot D10 Waterproof camera.
