Delkin Devices LCD COVER PRO SNAP CANON REBEL ( DC350D-P )  Review


I bought this thing for my Rebel XT to try to make it a little more abuse resistant - so I can drop it into a camera bag or backpack. It fell short of that but does have some redeeming qualities.

The problem is my eyepiece doesnt stay on as well as it did before because this piece slides on where the eyepiece went and the eyepiece slides into the cover. The top secures nicely, but the bottom of the cover doesnt really have anything to hang onto and can be misaligned causing the buttons to be pressed. The anti glare is ok, just marginally better than without it. The hood does come off leaving a protective cover over the LCD. If you are looking for some scratch protection just get the PDA or iPod screen covers that you can cut to size.

It does one of the major functions well that I wanted and that is to give me something to lay the camera on besides the lens - because with anything but the 50mm the Rebel is very lens heavy. So, overall it isnt quite worth the going price, but there isnt anything else cheaper.

Pro: does offer protection
Con: price, fit not perfect but ok.

Delkin Devices DDVD-R-SA/10 BIND 8X Retail Hard Case Binder with 10 Sleeves Review


As with other manufacturers, I have had, in the past, a few bad discs of this same product (visible flaw on the recording layer). But you can definitely see and feel the quality of these. My most recent purchase of these discs was all good. They are truly an archival and tough product. The scratch armor really works, and is perfect for rough-handling types. They are worth the money.

Delkin Devices DDEXP34-CF-2 ExpressCard Compact Flash Adapter Review


Beware if you are thinking about this device for use with the new unibody MacBook Pros. Even after installing the driver, it causes KPs on my unibody MacBook Pro. I called Delkin support about 3 weeks ago about the issue and they said that it was common and they are working on a new driver to support the new MBPs chipsets, but to date the driver hasn't come out, and I haven't been able to get through to their support after my first call. Until they fix the issue I wouldn't recommend this device.

Delkin Devices DDSS-SCOPE2 Complete Digital SLR SensorScope Cleaning System Review


After two different people at camera stores could not see any gunk on my sensor (and therefore, did not clean it completely), a third person using the Delkin Scope/System did so within moments.

The price of this system is within my budget as the other more famous brand is not. This all happened within the past few days, so I have not yet bought it for myself. But, you can bet that it's next on my Buy-It List!

Delkin Devices DDSC1100/80-B Canon SD1100 Camera Skin (Black) Review


I've been an all-too-frequent Amazon customer since their first year of operation and this is the first time I've ever been moved to write a review...and for a camera skin of all things.

But this is a brilliantly designed item, a really simple sleeve exquisitely designed which fits perfectly and with precision around my SD1100--and feels good in the hand - the rubber-like surface of the silicone actually makes the camera easier to handle. I had expected that I would have had to trade in some sensitivity in operating the controls through the silicone case, but this has happily not been the case. It's one of the few times that the sell copy above described the item absolutely accurately and without exaggeration, so that I won't bother to reiterate the skin's features here.

The skin ships with a clear hard protector for the lcd screen (hadn't expected this bonus - but had just not read the sell copy carefully enough) which seems very good protection for the lcd screen, and I will happilily allow it to collect the scratches otherwise reserved for the lcd. Also comes with a white camera strap - seems a bit superfluous, since one came with the camera itself, which looks a bit more sturdily made - but why complain.

All in all, a terrific product.

BTW, also bought the actual SD1100 camera from Amazon--after reading every conceivable review of cameras in its class. It's a fabulous piece of equipment as well - but since it has more than enough positive reviews, I won't waste my verbiage on it but would highly recommend to just about anyone.

I purchased the Delkin charger with plates for BP511 and AA batteries.I use the charger when traveling with several devices so I can charge using one charger.The charger works as advertised with no problems.The only complaint I have is Delkin does not seem to be adding new plates for new model camera batteries such as the Canon XSI and the 5D MARK 11.Overall I am happy with my purchase and will buy more plates when and if ordered.If Delkin does not add new plates this will end up in the trash.

Delkin Devices DDSS-SINGLE SensorScope Includes bag Review


The stiff, hard-to-hold momentary power switch and the oddball batteries would be bad enough. The real problem is that the fixed-focus depth-of-field loupe does NOT focus on my sensor.

Delkin claims they have designed the scope specifically to work with Canon and Nikon DSLRs. I have a Nikon D-200; with the Delkin scope I get a very sharp view of the perimeter of the mirror box, but down where it matters there is a blurred green rectangle. That is the sensor, and there is no way to adjust the the scope to focus on it. The only way I'll ever know it's dirty is by looking at ruined photographs.

Of course, I can just clean my sensor using my Visible Dust cleaning products (which work very well), but the whole idea of the SensorScope is to know when to clean and when NOT to clean, since cleaning should be avoided when unnecessary.

I attempted to give this product a no-star rating, but Amazon wouldn't let me do it...$50 wasted. It is irritating and mystifying to see a simple, good idea so poorly executed.

Delkin Devices DC50D-P Canon EOS 50D Pop-Up Shade (Black) Review


I bought this pop-up shade with a little trepidation, having purchased similar items in the past that disappointed. This one however, was just what the doctor ordered! Mine is for the 50D and it fit perfectly out of the box. The use of the shade function allows either Live View or shot review even in the strongest sunlight. All the buttons match their parents perfectly, and the unit is easily removable if desired.

The only improvement I can think of would be for Delkin to modify the eyepiece to allow for Canon's magnification eyepiece inserts... but other than that, I am very very happy with this product, as you will be too!

Delkin Devices DDSC1100/80-W Canon SD1100 Camera Skin (White) Review


"Perfect" fit. Specifically designed for Canon SD1100, this camera skin has holes and openings where they are supposed to be. There is a pinhole for the microphone in the front of the camera, and holes for the speaker on the LCD side of the camera, tripod mount, and an opening for battery/memory card compartment door for easy access without taking off the skin. Since it's a perfect fit, there's no slack between the camera and the skin. The camera fits snugly. There is also groove on the front side of the camera for a better grip. The amount of attention to detail is incredible for a generic-branded product. The clear plastic plate for the LCD actually makes my LCD screen easier to read. Highly recommended.

Delkin Devices DC40D-P Pop-Up Shade for Canon 40D Review


I have one of these on my Canon Rebel 350D and it fits perfectly. The one designed for the 40D shifts constantly . The door is useless and really does not help you see anything better in strong light. Also you can get a nasty scratch or cut if you bump you face into the open door.

Remove the door and you have a good LCD protector. The 40D has a 3 inch LCD screen. Delkin failed to design this to grab the back of the 40D properly. It shifts so much that the buttons go out of alignment and do not function when you press them.

It ends up being only a very expensive LCD protector but a nuisance otherwise.

Delkin Devices DU2.5-M Universal Pop-Up Shade for 2.5-Inch LCD Screens Review


I purchased this shade at the recommendation of my local camera store for $19.99. A bit pricey in my opinion, but I was desperate to be able to use my camera outdoors. Like other reviewers, with the Pop-Up Shade installed, I still cannot see images on my LCD screen outdoors. I've even reset the LCD to several settings in hopes of finding a lighting combination that would work with the shade. The fact is, I have resorted to cupping the camera in my hands with my forehead resting against the open shade so that I can at least see an outline of the image on the screen. Very inconvenient if you're trying to catch the moment! I have also had the issue of the cover slipping off of the camera and having the pegs break off during storage in the camera case. Delkin was very good about covering that issue under warranty. If I could return the shade and get my money back - I'd do just that. At any rate, I'm in the market for a camera with a view finder. Anyone want a slightly used Olympus?

Delkin Devices DU2.5-M BLK Universal Pop-Up Shade for 2.5-Inch LCDs (Black) Review


I loved the concept for this; a pop up screen for my digital camera. Next thing best to a viewfinder, right?

Uh, right...so, against all the reviews who said there were major flaws, I bought this.

I had this on my camera for *two* days before it broke.

The adhesive is crummy, the sides are flimsy, the whole product is nothing less than shoddy. It's a shame, because it's such a good idea. I hope that Delkin can improve the quality if they make another version.

Delkin Devices DD/AA-4PK-R29 Extended Power Rechargeable AA Batteries Review


I bought two 4-packs of these Delkin AA NiMH batteries based on their claimed capacity of 2900 mAh. As soon as I received them I charged them up using a pair of LaCrosse BC-900 battery chargers in TEST mode. According to the battery charger LCD screens, none of these Delkin batteries would charge up more than about 2050 mAh. I contacted the company I bought them from about their lack of stated capacity, and they replied that NiMH batteries need to be drained and recharged several times before they develop their full capacity.

I have since drained each set of four AA batteries in my digital camera and recharged them several times. I saw an increased capacity in most of the Delkin AA batteries up to around 2350 mAh. But there's at least one AA in each four-pack that gradually loses its ability to accept a charge. I have now had to return two of the eight Delkins for replacement. Kudoes to the company for promptly replacing the defective ones, but I'm chagrined that defective Delkin NiMH AAs would be so common. With a failure rate of 25%, I won't be buying any more Delkin products.

Delkin Devices DDSDFLS-AD Compact Flash to Secure Digital Adapter Review


I have this card in my Olympus E-420 and it works great (I've tried it with PQI, Sandisk and PNY SD and SDHC cards). The write speed is slower than straight to a CF card (Sandisk Extreme III) but it's still within 10 to 15 seconds (to transfer a 6 shot Raw+FineJpeg continuous burst).

The real reason I'm writing this review though, is that Delkin has amazing customer service. I wrote them an email asking about the slower transfer speeds and they wrote back with all the details of how transfer speeds are defined and realized in a particular camera/adapter/SD card setup. They made sure that I had all the info I needed and even offered to dig up some detailed specs on this particular card. This kind of customer service is VERY RARE in todays world and it was amazing to see. Pleasantly surprised.

Delkin Devices DU3.0-M BLK Universal Pop-Up Shade for 3.0-Inch LCDs (Black) Review


I bought one of these for a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. It attaches to the screen with adhesive and, provided the screen is clean to start with, seems quite positive. The screen is fully visible when it is applied correctly but one has to be careful with positioning it initially, since removing it and applying it a second time seriously weakens the adhesive.

The actual shade clicks off and I have found that it will do so in my pocket from time to time, so it is not a very positive fixing. It adds about 5mm to the depth of the camera.

I have found it to be less useful as a shade than I expected. Viewing of the screen is still difficult if (a) the sun is directly behind one or (b) if the sun is lighting one's face. This is a problem, however, with all cameras which have no optical viewfinder and is not really related to the use of a shade.
