Need extra batteries for Rebel EOS SL1 - suggestions?

I just got a new Rebel EOS SL1 and would like 2 extra batteries. The Canon batteries are so expensive. Does anyone have reommendation? Hate paying for a Canon battery, if a generic 2nd-3rd party battery would do. Yet, are there advantages to only using the expensive Canon Batteries? I did have another brand camera and bought cheap generic batteries off of ebay that worked wonderful. However, with this new Canon Camera, I'm wondering other Canon users experiences with batteris for the Rebel cameras.

Yes... the canon batteries last longer and have more recharge cycles in them. I find that while generic 3rd part batteries cost about 1/3rd the price... I have to replace them three times as often.
As reliability is important to me, I ultimately gave up on third party batteries.

  • Need extra storage for photos for my ipad ...

    I need extra storage for my ipad to store photos on ... I have so far been looking at the Airport Time Capsule & Seagate Wireless Plus.
    Can anyone recommend any? Thanks

    If you need to offload photos as you have too many, the best way is to plug the iPad into you computer running Mac OSX and dump them into iphoto.
    If you want to use something by wireless, without a computer then any network connected hard disk will work much the same. You cannot use file storage directly anyway.. you need to load a file app to start with.
    I think use whichever works out the cheaper for you.
    Do note the TC is really not designed to do this job and if you already use the TC for Time Machine it is messy loading files onto it. This is apparently a new purchase so you are not using the TC at all..
    The TC lacks a method to back itself up.. And this is one of its great weaknesses.. if the TC fails.. and they all fail at some point. How are you going to recover those photos?? From iPad you will not have the tools needed to do backups of the TC to another location.
    I have no idea if the seagate has built in proper backup but I would find out.

  • Need new batteries for BT Freestyle 2500.

    I am looking new batteries for a BT Freestyle 2500 and was wondering if any rechargable AAA batteries would do for it or do I need specific batteries.

    Any rechargeable AAA batteries with a capacity equal or greater than the originals.
    So if they were 500ma/h then anything 500 or greater.

  • Do I need lens filters for the EOS Rebel T3?

    Do I need lens filters?

    I agree with all the above...
    If you shoot a lot of scenics, for example, a Circular Polarizer might be a very handy filter to have. It's useful to deepen the blue of the sky and make white clouds really stand out, to reduce or control reflections off water and glass, to increase color saturation in foliage and other things outdoors on overcast days, even in some portrait situations. It's one of the most useful of all filters, and also one of the most difficult (or impossible) to replicate in post processing softwares. I would encourage a C-Pol (sometimes "CPL") as one of the first and most important filters you might want.
    Neutral density filters are handy for long exposure still photographs, such as making flowing water look "creamy". Today's DSLRs just don't have a low enough ISO setting, so ND filters can help in situations where you either want a long exposure or are trying to use a large aperture in stronger light. ND filters are gray all over to reduce the light reaching the sensor, and come in a wide variety of strengths: 1 stop, 3 stop, 6 stop, 10 stop and more.
    I do carry UVs to fit all my lenses (well, at least all the ones that can be fitted with a filter). But they are stored in my camera bag until actually needed for protection. I'd install one if out shooting in a sand storm, for example.
    If you go looking for Circular Polarizer or any other filter, don't skimp. Get a good quality, multi-coated to make for the best image quality. B+W MRC, Pro and Kaesemann are very good. Hoya HMC, SHMC, HD and HD2 are too. Also Marumi gets high marks (I haven't used them personally). Heliopan, Singh Ray and Lee are some other well respected brands.
    I would encourage you to first get the matching lens hoods for all your lenses, though. A hood is great protection for the lens alone... But when using filters, it's even more important to use a hood (to also protect the filter... both from oblique light and from physical bumps).

  • Need extra cooling for Qosmio x875! Surprised?

    I'm looking for a laptop cooler and/or vacuum cooler for my Qosmio x875. I am currently considering the CM SF-19 and the CM Notepal X3. Which one is better for the Qosmio x875? I couldn't find exact specs on the Qosmio airflow, so I am loathe to simply make a judgement based on what I can guess.  I've already reapplied thermal paste and that brought my motherboard and CPU down from 100°C down to 75°C during maxed out gaming. A significant improvement, but still a bit too hot for my tastes, which is why I'm looking for extra coolers.  Any suggestions? 

    Hello Tom
    Maybe you should simple clean up your notebook, or be sure your notebook is placed properly on the desk.
    You can also put something under back side to make more distance between the desk and your laptop. I have placed two small books (about 1 cm) to allow better air circulation.

  • Need Extra Validation for Attachments in Leave Requests

    Hi All,
    We intend to validate whether a user requesting for leave (ex.: Sick Leave) using SSHR has attached any documents or not (in case the request is for more than 5 days).
    Can someone please help me out with this? I tried to do this by using 'User Hooks' but the hooks that I have used so far (create_absence_entry BP, per_absence_attendances RH) validate the data on the absence entry page itself (i.e. even before the review page where files are attached is reached).
    Is there any user hook available on the review page in SSHR? Or, is there any alternative to this method?

    Hi,
    If so your Message Flow is -
    RFC->XI->Http->RFC(R/3)->File
    After getting the response you need to send the Response back to the R/3 and same time the response should be sent to File system. Now you can go for BPM here.
    This blog will give you some idea-
    /people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit
    So your BPM will contain these steps-
    1) Receive the RFC Request
    2) Send the RFC request Synchronoulsy
    3) Recieved Response will be mapped to the file system structure
    4) send the Mapped file structure
    Asumption is Mapping i.e Request to Http Request and Http Response to RFC response is done outside the BPM.
    Hope this helps,
    regards,
    Moorthy

  • I have a 5 month old Magic Mouse and I want to replace the batteries for the first time but the battery door will not release any suggestions?

    The battery compartment door on my Magic Mouse appears to be jammed shut and will not open, the device is only 5 months old and this is the first time I have needed to open it to change the batteries. Are there any suggestions?

    It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
    Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost.  Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
    Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

    If you mean Open Office is not always able to correctly open documents received from clients created with MS Office, then the only real solution is to purchase Office 2011 for Mac. As good as some of the free alternatives are, they can't duplicate every feature of MS Office.
