A great lens with nice features
1 of 1 found this helpful A good lens for a reasonable price, on par with Nikons kit lens that came with the D40. Two nice features of the lens are the macro switch, and the ability to manually change the aperture. These two features alone are worth the price of the lens. The elements are glass and it seems well made. I rate it 8.5 out of 10.

Great for traveling
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought the Archos 5 to use while traveling on the motorcycle to stay in contact via E mail and some light web browsing. I have used it for over a month now and recently on a long road trip.
The good;
Small and tough, packs easily into a tank bag or pocket
Bigger screen than a smartphone
Good selection of older apps via the APPSLIB app
Battery life better than I expected
GPS navigation
FM receiver and transmitter
The not so good;
You must pay a third party for the maps to navigate
Charging the battery is slow
Older 1.6 Android OS means recent apps will not work unless written to work on it.
Small size leads to mistyping, use a stylus for accuracy
Some of the "premium content" like the Media Club app has been discontinued, leaving a useless item on the dock
It is not Mac compatible.
Speaker is not very loud.
I like the 5, I had no trouble using it except for selecting the wrong link or mistyping on web pages until I zoomed in. AppsLib had a great selection of apps that work on the 5, I was able to get everything I needed for my usage. Android 1.6 worked well with the unit and has a good feature set.
The Archos 5 is good for travel, biking, and hiking. It is small and packs easily. For home or office use a 7 or 10 inch device would be better. I will be getting two more of these as gifts for my two teenaged nephews, they were impressed by the size and ability of the 5.

If you are having problems shooting nature, get this.
Lets face it, many peoples nature shots look bad. They look like snapshots and are boring to view.
If this is you, you need this book.
The book has great articles and examples. It covers landscapes, animals, and macro photography.
The book covers subjects like composition, lighting, and weather in the landscape.
There are some equipment recommendations on film camera equipment, but the recommendations will work on digital just as well.
