The PIXMA MG5220 wireless inkjet photo all-in-one took me about an hour to remove the packing material, install the printer head and ink cartridges, calibrate and set up in both the wired and unwired LAN Wi-Fi operation. I tested my word processing program, internet printing, copying and scanning and was really impressed at the quality and ease of printing.
Pages print at blazing speed, and I can load both photo paper and regular paper at the same time and it automatically selects the correct media. Photos are gorgeous and text is super black and crisp.

I just came back from a cruise in the Caribbean and I said many time that buying this camera case was the best idea I’d ever had. I tested it out in my sink before I left and it’s a scary idea to bring your expensive camera underwater, but it’s completely protected and safe. Needless to say, it’s amazing to have pictures (and videos!) from diving in the Caribbean. It’s also great for when it’s raining out when you’re traveling and want to take pictures. Basically, it’s well worth the money, even if you only use it once or twice, but it’s a great thing to protect your camera against the elements in general.
We were so suprised at how well this worked! We took it to Hawaii and used it while swimming and snorkeling and it was great. The pictures were very clear and we never worried about leaking. Even when we would use the camera on the beach (not underwater) all the pictures were beautiful.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

ashish — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 18:08:22 +0000

Incorporating Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology, this Canon 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens captures long distance, low-light shots far better than many comparable lenses, helping you photograph the far-off action of athletes or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The high-zoom-ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). More significantly, the image stabilizer effect creates an equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens without an image stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you can hold a 250mm lens steadily is normally 1/250th of a second, this Canon lens will let you hand-hold shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. The lens also boasts a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration to create excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Delivering an excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers, the 55-250mm lens carries a one-year warranty.

Maximum aperture: f/4 to f/5.6

1. I was determined to love this lens based on the specs and price point alone. Canon really needed to come out with this lens at this price because Nikon offers a very decent Vibration Reduction lens at roughly the same range for the same price, leaving me to make apologies for Canon and their neglect to all my Nikon friends.
The IS can be switched off to save battery life but I haven’t noticed a difference in battery performance with it. The IS is only activiated when you press the shutter halfway for auto focus. Although it FEELS like there is a small lag for the IS to start, I don’t think I’ve had any photos messed up because of it.

2. Surprisingly, it CAN produce pretty sharp pictures if the subjects don’t move fast. The sharpness is very comparable with two other lenses I own, the famed and breathtakingly sharp Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and Sigma 30mm f/1.4. While the Tamron and Sigma get sharp shots without too much work, this Canon needs a bit of careful handling to get equally sharp shots even at the wide end. I use the word “can”, because to achieve it you would either need a tripod or high ISO (my rebel XT’s 1600 is pretty much what I use all the time with this lens).
