4 Stars Better than expected!
I just needed a backup battery, but ended up buying this combo because they costed less than others that sold just the canon battery. Based on the pictures, I didn’t expect the case to look good, but it was much better when it arrived. The fit is a bit tight for my 870 IS, so pulling the cam out needs a little more effort than I would like, but thats not too bad. The metal strap looks good too.
The battery works fine and all the accessories are original canon products. I am glad I got this combo.
3 Stars Bought it for the Battery
I bought the accessory kit because I needed a case an spare battery. The case is a bit snug for the SD990IS. The camera goes into the case alright, but it’s rather tricky to get the camera back out. The case also doesn’t have any compartments for extra cards or the extra battery. I ended up tossing this case and buying another one that’s a bit bigger, and has pockets. Buying the accessory kit together was cheaper than buying the battery alone, so I think I got a good deal.
3 Stars Accessory pack OK but case and laynard are bulky
The battery is the most useful part of this kit.
Initially I wanted a case that would protect the screen from scratches when the camera was in my bag or pocket. This case is fairly thick and is just a bit too large to comfortably fit in my pocket. On my belt it also is a bit bulky and is constructed that way. It is very protective though of the camera and for backpack storage the case works great.
The laynard on the other hand is just bulky. When wearing around my neck it feels solid but again, when trying to put the camera in a pocket the laynard is so bulky that even without the case it doesn’t comfortably fit in a pocket.
I would consider other cases for the camera and don’t recommend the laynard at all.
5 Stars Canon Elph Accessory Kit
Excellent protective case for the camera. Always can use the extra battery. Have not found a use for the strap yet since the strap that came with the camera works fine for me.
4 Stars Great pricing deal to get a spare battery.
I got this kit specifically for the spare battery. At the time, from Amazon, a canon brand battery cost ~$35 and this kit cost $30. So, no brainer to buy the kit so I could have a spare battery for less. 
The case seemed to fit on my SD800, although very tight. The strap is hard and somewhat inflexible due to the wire running in it. I didn’t like it. Since I only wanted the battery, I gave the other stuff away. I didn’t use any of it for any amount of time.
So, depending on the pricing, if you need a spare battery this kit is a great deal. I’d keep my eye on the fluctuating prices and grab it when it’s a good price deal.

5 Stars Excellent Hi-Capacity Battery
I bought this battery for my Canon Vixia HF100 digital camcorder, and man am I glad I did. I get over 4 hours of recording time out of this battery, around 3 times as much as the battery it came with. This battery is a must for any Vixia camera owners in my opinion.
5 Stars A must for your new camcorder
Why limit yourself to a hour with the battery that comes with. You will NEED this battery.
5 Stars A must for all camcorders
There is nothing worse than running out of battery life, this will add some wieght to the camcorder but is totally worth it.
5 Stars A must
This battery is a must for the HG21 camera. Lasts soo much longer than the original battery. This is a must have!
5 Stars Battery has more stamina than I do
I used this battery on an 11-day nature cruise to Alaska, in a Vixia HF200. The battery reported a recording capacity of just over 300 minutes when fully charged. I had the camera on, pre-recording, for extended periods to catch glaciers calving or whales appearing, but never got below 50 minutes remaining in a day. It recharged overnight in the camera and I never had to switch to my backup BP-809.

5 Stars Lithium battery
Good product and very good brand. Shop around for best price. Will buy again when needed.
1 Star Don’t buy it!! Spend the money on the real one.
I wish there was this source of reviews when I bought mine, 33+ other people had the same problem – the Lenmar DLC4L does not hold a charge at all and is completely unusable. The seller at the time was the battery center, who conveniently doesn’t answer email now. Unfortunately for me, Amazon is unwillingly the solve this problem since it is more than 90 days since the day of purchase (battery worked for a short period of time). What poor service. What a waste of money, especially the shipping.
1 Star Battery Stinks…Warranty Is Worse
Like many others here, my battery died and wouldn’t take a charge after less than one year’s use. As there is a 3-year warranty, and I had my receipt, I didn’t think it would be difficult to get a replacement.
My initial request (per online form) to Lenmar was simply ignored. My second request got me a form letter saying that I should mail the dead battery to them, preferably insured, at my own cost – after which they’d send me a replacement battery for “$7.50 shipping.”
In other words, I’ll pay as much in postage as I would to replace the battery. And, oh yeah, “allow 4 weeks for your replacement to arrive.”
I’ll try some other brand of battery, thanks, and hope that this warning can steer others away from this questionable company.
1 Star Not worth the price.
I bought a Lenmar DLC4L batter to use as a backup for my Canon camera. I used it occasionally, and the last time I tried to use it, it would not power the camera, but the charger indicated it is fully charged. I thought that one battery was much like another with the same chemistry. Not true. The Canon battery works well, and continues to work well for me. The Lenmar battery worked for a short time, but now does not work. I won’t buy another Lenmar battery if I can help it.
2 Stars Worthless Warranty
Bought this battery because of the 3 year warranty. However, if you claim after 90 days they make you pay $7.50 shipping so you know you’re paying for the replacement so there’s really no difference between the quality of this battery and the cheapies out there.

5 Stars Works with my 5Dm2
Works great, attaches to the neck band and you can use it with the bulb feature for extra long night shots! a must have for night photography
3 Stars Wireless Remote for Digital Rebel
This remote allows you to set up the camera and take a picture without having to press the shutter release each time. I’ll use it for self-portraits, pictures where I have people standing on a predetermined mark, and occasions where I can wait for the subject to enter the frame (bird watching, etc.) The remote uses the sensor on the front of the camera so use requires either line of site or can be used from the side to a certain degree but not from behind the camera. Also on my camera the remote setting is self-timer/remote so when I use the remote it actually starts the self-timer making it difficult to take spontaneous photos.
5 Stars Loving this over the RC5!
This is like an RC5, but smaller, more compact, and with dual button functions!!
The RC1 has 3 switch settings, 1 is off, 2 is 2 second timer, then the shutter releases, 3 is instant shutter release.
Great wireless remote to have for the Rebel XTi.
5 Stars WOW
I just got my RC-1 Remote Controller, and wow. It was so easy to use and worked without fail (just take it out of the box and turn it on). It does what I need it to do. The only thing I did not care for was that you have to make sure that the remote is pointed at the camera or at the side of the camera, you cannot stand behind the camera to take pictures. I was presently surprised by size of the remote (it is about 2″). Once I have used it more than just the 15 minutes, I will write a more in depth review and I can share so pictures.
5 Stars Simple and easy to use
This remote works well. I use the 2 sec delay mode most often because it gives you enough time to move your hand away from in front of the camera. I have used the remote both for scenery photos that need long exposures as well as for self/group photos. I am currently using it with an older Canon EOS-300D (Digital Rebel) and it works fine. Since I have had it only for a month, I don’t know about the battery life. The cover is useful when storing and carrying the remote to prevent accidental button activation.

4 Stars Well worth the money. Don’t think, buy it.
Now let me say first and foremost that I am NOT a professional photographer by any means, but I am a decent amateur photographer and read up on this lens for months before I pulled the trigger and bought it. My only regret…I wished I would have done it sooner so that I could have enjoyed it longer. The reviews on this site were extremely helpful along with the images people have uploaded taken with the lens. After reading this lens review [...] and the ones here, here is my own. I own the Canon Rebel XSI.
Cons:
* No IS (Image Stabilization). At first I thought this would be a problem but it’s really not. What it does do is make you really take your time and make you a better photographer. I do wish it came with it for that “just in case” moment but the lens is sharp enough and heavy enough you can overcome this very MINOR thing.
*A “tad” noisy. Yes it can be a bit noisy but it’s not as bad as what I had read on a few reviews. Very minor but compared to my 18-55 kit lens I did notice it but it’s not enough to take away from the image quality of this lens.
*Focus can “hunt” sometimes. But it’s a very rare thing I have seen in the 200+ images I’ve taken so far with the lens. Out of all of those images it’s done it to me twice. That’s it.
Pros: Everything else.
The “cons” i noted above are more of a hey you need to know type of thing but they are NOT enough for you to not think about buying this lens. I have used it in low light, sports shots with my daughter at soccer, nature shots, sunsets, sunrises and they have all turned out just fine. Would I have liked to own the 24-70L lens? Sure. But at 1350 vs. $381. Not even a 2nd thought.
Read the reviews on here, read the SLRGEAR review and then buy this lens.
4 Stars Great, but not perfect.
I bought this lens for low-light work, but it almost doesn’t disappoint. The copy I received is sharp, but it still does a little hunting in low light situations where I felt there was enough light. The build quality is good, but not weather sealed like the Canon L-series. The zoom ring is nice and tight where I really don’t need the zoom lock so I sometime forget to set it with no worries. Overall a great lens. I am very pleased with it.
5 Stars Sharp sturdy lens
I got this lens to expand my range from the canon 50mm 1.8 MK1. It’s big, heavy, and as sharp as the 50mm. I really can’t tell the difference between this lens at 2.8 and the 50mm at 5.6. I use a old 300d with the the crop sensor, so if there are problems on the edges, I’m missing them all. Good color, good depth. It hunts for focus here and there, but it’s not really a problem unless the light is real dim. I’m impressed. Once you get used to the extra weight, you don’t notice it. I just use the 50mm 1.8 if i’m shooting at night by lamp light.
5 Stars Excellent general purpose lens
I’ve been using this lens for two and a half years now on my Rebel XT. I love it. About 90% of my photos are taken with it. The image quality is excellent, the focus is reliable, and it weighs half of what the Canon 24-70L does (and is a third the price!). I recommend this lens enthusiastically to everyone with a DSLR asking for a good general purpose lens. It’s a great deal.
5 Stars Wow!
This is a spectacular lens. When I compare it to my 24-70 “L” Canon lens the Tamron is every bit the equivalent at the same aperture; only, it is 1/3 the price and lighter. Yes, the focal range is a bit different than the Canon and the lens body is plastic(actually polycarbonate–which can be stronger than metal), but for 1/3 the price I can drop it, replace it and still come out $400 ahead compared to the Canon(I sold the Canon after I bought this lens because I no longer used it.)
