BP-511, BP-511A, BP-512, BP-514, DDBP-511, ERC590, PR511 Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Camera

BP-511, BP-511A, BP-512, BP-514, DDBP-511, ERC590, PR511 Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Camera: EOS-10D, EOS-300D, EOS-D30, EOS-D60, EOS-Digital Rebel G1, PowerShot G1, PowerShot G2, PowerShot G3, PowerShot G5, PowerShot G5 Pro, PowerShot G6, PowerShot Pro1, PowerShot Pro90 IS, Pro90 IS
Customer Review: Great price great product
I recieved my camera as a hand me down gift, and it didn't include any batteries or charger. I ordered 2 of these batteries and they have both been great. Holds charge for weeks, and has been reliable when needed. I've used them mainly for taking photos on a hikes, snowboarding and camping and one fully charged was enough to last a 2 day trip camp. Would purchase again if I ever require more.
Customer Review: Very Cheap, some of these work fine, some not.
I'd rate this 3 stars now since they sent a replacement for free. The aftermarket battery they sent to me was defective. The plastic battery housing was too thin where the plastic clips are on the sides. So it did not fit in my charger, or my Canon G3 camera. Neither device recognized the battery because it didn't make proper electrical contact. So I returned it. Eforcity shipped fast and shipping was a reasonable $2.98. The Eforcity return policy has the customer pay shipping both ways, even on defective products. It has a 1 year warranty while most name brand BP-511 batteries are covered for 3 years. This battery has no name brand, it says "Made in China". We'll see how the return goes. UPDATE: March 25,2008 The seller "Eforcity" came through with a replacement battery free of charge and the 2nd one works fine. Fortunately they didn't want the faulty one one back so there was no return shipping. Be aware there is a large market of offbrand BP-511 batteries made by different companies and sold by various venders. 1 week later this is being sold by a new vendor. So reviews may not be applicable if they ship a variety of products under the same oame~ ll<~descri=amon>jimmy.jesse@gmail.comCanon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Black) + Canon 18-55mm IS Lens + Tamron 70-300mm Di LD Macro Lens for Canon EOS + Spare LP-E5 Battery + 8GB Card + Gadget Baghttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0018AD4HM/luggage-set-20?creatage-set-20?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1Mon, 15 Sep 2008 22:31:44 GMTKit includes: 1) Canon Digital Rebel XSi; 2) Canon 18-55mm Lens [Outfit]; 3) Tamron 70-300mm Macro Lens (Canon EOS); 4) Transcend 8GB SecureDigital (SDHC) Card; 5) USB 2.0 SecureDigital Card Reader; 6) Spare LP-E5 Battery; 7) Gadget Bag; 8) Digital Image Recovery Software; 9) Memory Card Storage Wallet; 10) Microfiber Cleaning Cloth. ♦Canon Digital Rebel XSi includes: LP-E5 Rechargeable Battery Pack; Battery Charger; Wide Neck Strap; Body Cap; Eyecup; USB Cable; Video Cable; Software CD-ROM; Instructions; Canon USA Warranty. ♦ Canon 18-55mm includes: Lens Caps; Instructions; Canon USA Warranty. ♦Tamron 70-300mm includes: Lens Caps; Lens Hood; Instructions; Tamron USA Warranty. ♦The Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera incorporates a newly designed 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, enhanced sensitivity up to ISO 1600, a 14-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion process and Highlight Tone Priority and High-ISO Noise Reduction functions.

First of all we must distinguish between two types of cameras: Digital Cameras and SLR Professional cameras.

If you want a decent camera that you will use to take pictures within the family, holiday pictures or simply even taking pictures of items to list on eBay, then a digital camera is for you. It is small, compact and at just the right price range for the average man/woman.

If you are in the media however, a professional photographer or take up photography as a hobby, SLR Professional cameras are for you. These are much bigger, better in quality but far more expensive than your average digital camera on the high street.

What to look for when choosing the right camera for you:

I have just differentiated the two major types of camera, but what do you want to look out for to suit your needs. In the following text, you will be able to figure out the right type of camera for yourself.

PIXEL RESOLUTION:

Pixels are actually tiny dots on a digital image that make up the picture. Basically, the higher the number of pixels in your image, the better the quality. This is because the camera is able to fit more detail into the image since there is a higher spacial capacity for the pixels to fit into. This will also enable you to enlarge your image to higher pixel dimensions without creating a pixelated image (when the image is enlarged to a point that the pixels cannot fit into each allotted space so it becomes blurry). For people using digital cameras 4-7MP cameras would be a reasonably good size of Megapixels. However for SLR Professional cameras you'd be looking at about 10MP+. Obviously the more megapixels in a camera, the higher the cost.

LCD SCREEN:

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen allows the photographer to view the picture he/she has taken straight away to check if the picture needs to be retaken. It also acts as a viewfinder for the photographer so they don't have to look through the actual viewfinder. For a digital camera, they vary from 1.5-2.5 inches but on a SLR Professional they usually start from 2.5 inches and the screen size increases.

OPTICAL ZOOM:

This enables the photographer to zoom in on an object without any loss of picture quality. Depending on the magnification number, you can zoom in more. For a digital camera, the optical zoom is on average 3.0-5.0 (odd cases of special digital cameras have an optical zoom of 6.0-10.0, but are in the region of 350). SLR Professional cameras go from 6.0+.

DIGITAL ZOOM:

This feature enables the photographer to zoom in on the centre of the picture removing the edges of the image (on PC). However, depending on the MP resolution of your camera, the image can become fuzzy so be careful. Digital cameras can easily vary on average from 2.0-8.0 and the same range for the SLR Professionals, except some will exceed 8.0. The higher the zoom the better the camera.

AUDIO & MOVIE CAPTURE:

This allows you to record sounds and moving images at the same time, in exactly the same way as a camcorder does. Some cameras even contain a facility that enables them to play the video footage on TV from the camera, so all can watch in a better picture quality. This comes both on digital and SLR Professional cameras.

IMAGE STABILISATION:

This feature enables the photographer to capture still images of something moving very fast, such as a cheetah. The camera is able to freeze the picture within those milliseconds of time to create a clear quality picture image. You can also use this feature in low light conditions. Both types of camera usually have this feature.

MEMORY:

Cameras either have internal memory, memory card slots or both. Different cameras have different sizes of internal memory and are able to use different types of memory cards. The types of memory cards are important because this will tell you what type of memory card is need to expand on the existing internal memory. Digital and SLR Professional cameras contain between 8-96MB of internal memory but the memory cards that you can buy to expand the memory capacity vary between 16MB-2GB(2048MB).

PRINTING:

Nowadays you can buy special printers, depending on the compatibility of your camera, to print off your pictures without connecting it to a PC. This applies both for digital and SLR Professional cameras.

Pictures are priceless! And with families and friends usually spread far apart in terms of geography, pictures are the way to keep up with the latest news. With digital photography, you can see the new baby in the family, check out the latest fencing project that Uncle Jeff finished and see where Grandma is spending her summer vacation.

It used to be that when you took a picture, you wouldn't develop any pictures until the roll of film was full. Then, the development process meant visiting a local photo shop, waiting a week for development and getting prints back. Sharing these prints usually involved the US Mail or a personal visit. The options today are so much more user-friendly and you can pick the one that fits you and your sharing needs best!

The key to understanding options is to understand that there are very few rules anymore. You can take just one picture before "developing", you can crop and remove redeye yourself or you can merge pictures together. But before getting into advanced options, let's review some of the basic options for sharing your precious photographs.

Special Delivery!

You can still hand-deliver those photos today, but the options for doing so have increased ten-fold. You can now print digital pictures from your home computer whenever it's convenient for you. Some of the other options include taking your camera memory (check the user's manual) into a local super center or pharmacy chain. These stores usually have photo kiosks where you can insert your memory, select your print option and place your order. You can usually get calendars, postcards, shirts or cups with your pictures on them if you'd like.

Or you can create a collage of pictures and load to a CD. The software that came with your camera should have instructions on how to copy the pictures from your camera to your PC. Then follow the instructions with your picture software to create your collage and copy to disk. This option is especially helpful when you want to share the pictures with a larger group of people, such as an entire Pee Wee football team or all of the cousins who show up at the family reunion.

Upload and share

There are so many photo sharing sites available that it's oftentimes hard to choose among the options. However, for those who are somewhat new to digital photography, these are a few of the free sites that make it easy on the new user, but still provide a bevy of choices and options:

  1. Shutterfly. This site has earned rave consumer reviews. It has free unlimited storage of pictures and when sharing the pictures, also allows for users to add comments! What's great with this site is that it allows you to create keepsake photo books and all types of printing options including picture borders, cards or photo gifts. The biggest drawback is that the only pickup option when choosing a hard copy print is at a local Target store. Although Target stores are popping up all over, there are still many places in the US that don't have a Target for miles! However, Shutterfly does provide mailing options.
  2. Flickr. Flickr is another great online photo management and sharing application. Show off your favorite photos to the world, securely. Easily upload, organize, join groups, and discuss photos from all over the world. Also create books, prints, cards, calendars, and more from your pictures.
  3. Picasa. Most users rate this site very high as it's easy to use and, after loading your pictures onto your PC, it sometimes only takes one click to upload to the web. It's easy to organize pictures into photo albums, share with as many or as few people as you wish and do some basic photo edits. The only drawback is that you have to download the proprietary software, so if you are someone who doesn't like to download software from the web, this option may not be for you.
  4. Kodak Gallery. Of course, what option for sharing photos would be complete without Kodak being involved somehow? Kodak provides some great options that go beyond just sharing the photos online. You can order prints, edit photos, share photos and organize in albums. Some of the user options at Kodak Gallery do involve a subscription and of course, hard copy prints cost money. The option where the new shutterbug can create their own webpage featuring their own pictures is really neat and easy to use. One drawback to this service is that for anyone to view your pictures, they must also have a login to the site. So sharing is not just as easy as just sending a link.
  5. Snapmor. This site is a little different from the rest. It allows you to create digital slideshows from your photos. Just upload your pictures, and they weave them together with music and dynamic transition effects into a really interesting way of sharing photos. Your photo slideshow "movies" will be put onto a DVD, which makes it really easy and convenient to enjoy, since you can just watch it on your TV. It's truly amazing what an effect adding music to your photos has. It must be tried to be appreciated.
Print out for pickup


Just about anyplace nowadays that still develops rolls of film will also have an option for printing your digital photos. Other options for printing out pictures include publishing stores and pharmacy chains. Check out their online store and look for the option that links you to their photo center.

This is a great option when someone you love doesn't have a computer or really just likes having the picture in her own hand. You can upload your pictures and instead of picking your local store for pickup, choose the store closest to your loved one. This is more like the old-time process of getting your pictures developed and mailing them out, but eliminates several inconvenient steps.

Just try it out

The greatest aspect about digital photography is that no one has to be a professional to take or share great pictures! Just keep your camera on and snap pictures until your memory chip is full. If a picture is truly bad, just delete it and take some more until you get the one you want. If a picture is close enough to being good, but is off-center or has a strange background, just perform some edits to change the background or center the faces. Then get ready to share with all your loved ones.

For friends and loved ones who are computer savvy, impress them with your ability to create beautiful photo albums. Enter captions and share with all of them, no matter how far away they live. For family at Christmas, create personalized albums or calendars as a fancy stocking stuffer. And for those who love to frame pictures or create scrapbooks, order some prints for them and let them be surprised when the prints show up at their front door! Check out your options and find the one that's right for you!
