    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'BG-E2 Battery Grip for EOS 20D'

    I must have received the latest version - no problems to date whatsoever. Used in temp. ranges -5 to +40 degrees C. So far so good.

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'BG-E2 Battery Grip for EOS 20D'

    This grip is made specially for the 20D. I have big hands so I find this an indispensable piece of equipment. I use mainly heavy L lenses so it acts very much as a counterbalance and makes hand holding long IS lenses easier. I notice the difference and it really makes life much easier. The...

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'The SASOL Larger Illustrated Guide to Birds of Southern Africa'

    For a beginner like myself this book is very user friendly as the layout makes it very easy to follow. Highly recommended as a ready reference guide and well-priced for what you get. Overseas visitors to Southern Africa will really like this book.

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'Roberts' Multimedia Birds of South Africa Ver 3.1'

    I find this perfect for our South African birds as the illustrations are much larger than in most of the books - this will help people who dont have the best eyesight. Its very easy to find specific birds and very good when trying to identify birds. The program has the normal painted picture...

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item '1.4x II Extender'

    I only use it with my EF100~400L IS USM lens. Outstanding results. I cannot fault it when used with the 20D and 10D and the lens. Happiness is.

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'EF 28-300 f/3.5-5.6L IS USM'

    I wanted a good lens with a wide range and this is what I got. This Canon 28~300L is a lens which meets most requirements considering its range. It is not quite as sharp as the 100~400L IS USM but that is to be expected with an 11x zoom, however its still very sharp. I personally use it for...

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6'

    This lens came as part of my 20D which I had to buy in kit form - A CASE OF TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. I do not like this lens. I dont believe it is sharp enough and I think it is a very tacky. I will replace it with a decent wide-angle L lens soon and solve this problem. I do not think it is worth...

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'EOS 20D'

    The camera has been very well reviewed on a number of great sites but reviews do not ever tell the whole story. I have tried the camera under various conditions ranging from bright sunlight to darkness. In every instance I have got shots worthy of retention even though the subject matter has...

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'BG-ED3'

    I use it with the 10D. The two batteries it takes give you a full days shooting with ease. It is especially nice for people who have big hands, otherwise it feels as though your camera is too small when coupled to a hefty telephoto. It just seems to add balance all round and I never take it off...

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item '10D'

    This is a truly great camera. I have been using it for 18 months now with excellent results, no repairs needed, no problems whatsoever. The best there is price vs quality. I have just ordered a 20D also which is really an upgrade for my kit. Just remember a camera is only as good as the...

    Review by 'TwoBoy' on item 'EF 100-400mm L IS USM'

    Based on Canon 10D and 20D use: I rate this lens THE BEST THERE IS for wildlife and birds in Africa. Very sharp at all focal lengths even when fitted with the Canon 1.4X II converter but you lose AF with the converter. IS is so good it can be handheld at any focal length so I have removed the...
