Most Favorable Review

Great Lens

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens

Pros: Great reach. The IS is a pretty nice feature and it's nice to find it on a lens of this price. The lens feels like it is built very well. While it is plastic, it feels very sturdy. Image quality is also very, not L good, but still very nice.

Cons: Autofocus is a little slow sometimes and likes to search quite a bit.

Overall Review: I paired this with my EF-S 18-55mm Rebel XT kit lens and it is great. The 18-255mm range is very handy. Works very well with the XT.

Most Critical Review

Overclockers Beware

GIGABYTE GA-EP31-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P31 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-EP31-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P31 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Runs fine. Has many BIOS options and overclocking options. Decent budget board.

Cons: Oveclocking DOES NOT WORK. This seems to be a common problem with Gigabyte P31/P35 boards. Once CPU Host Control is enable, the system will either not POST or reset to default settings. No matter what I tried I could not get this board to overclock.

Overall Review: If this board is needed for a system where overclocking will not be used, it should work fine. If overclocking is needed, look elsewhere. You may get lucky and get a board that can overclock, but it is not worth the risk.

Excellent card.

Pros: Very fast card. No issues so far.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Use this in my Canon 40D.
