I have used this camera non-stop ever since it was first released a few years ago and I love it! After owning it now for several years, I am just now coming on to leave my views on it because I think that the comments and reviews of people who have owned any item being reviewed for a longer length of time, holds greater weight than someone who just immediately leaves a review for an item right after they receive it. Only after a person has used an item over an extended period of time, can we know how it holds up. For example, questions about an item's durability is important to know. Or, does it last in all kinds of conditions? Does the item still function as smoothly and professionally as it did when you first obtained it? All of these, and many more are very important factors to consider when choosing to buy an item, especially an expensive item.
In conclusion, the answers to all of the questions above and many more can all be surmised in the final statements. This camera is an awesome, hard-working, long-lasting, top-quality mid-level camera that anyone should consider owning if you want a mid-priced camera that has many of the features of way more expensive cameras and does just as good of a job!

I've been using this adapter on my Sony NEX-6 for a month or so now and it works great. I've been sticking with MD lenses but I've had no problems at all. It mounts onto the camera easily and then the lens mounts onto the adapter. Very simple.
I'm not sure why one reviewer complained of ghosting. That's a lens issue. There is no glass in this. It's just a cylinder with an E-Mount on one end and MD-Mount on the other.

I've had my Canon D20 for about a week now, so this review will not be exhaustive. However, I've played around with it enough to provide some helpful impressions.LIKES* Overall image quality is good. Considering the conditions in which you can shoot with this (wet, cold, hot, dusty, etc.), I'd rate image quality as very good.* Low-light performance. Most of the underwater pictures I've shot were in the pool in the evening with no direct sunlight. Given the lighting conditions, the images far exceed a typical point-and-shoot. Considering they were shot underwater (taking away quite a bit more light), the increased challenges of automatic focusing, etc. and I'd rate the image quality fantastic.* Form factor. A little awkward, but fun and easy to hold & use once you get the hang of it. The included strap is well done, rugged, and can easily cinch tight on your wrist for times when you are in the water or in other settings that might make keeping hold of it a challenge.* Video quality. Excellent! I've been shooting videos in full HD and watching them on my 42" HDTV. The quality far exceeds what I expected.* LCD. It is 3", bright, and easy to use underwater.* Battery life. Very good considering it has no optical viewfinder, meaning the LCD is constantly on.* Zoom. Haven't played with this too much, but the wide range on this camera makes this quite versatile.* Exposure. One pleasant surprise is how quickly and how well the exposure adjusts to/from underwater and out of the water lighting. It does have a dedicated underwater setting, which might further improve my underwater shots, but Auto works great if you are moving back & forth often.DISLIKES* Very limited manual controls. On the plus side, the Auto mode works well, and how much do you really want to fumble with manual settings while underwater or in other challenging settings?* Price. Yes, it is a bit too expensive for everyone to grab one. But $ for $, this is a fantastic bargain for a high-quality rugged, waterproof camera.* Limited flash control. Most point-and-shoots nowadays allow you to force the flash to fire, which can be really helpful at eliminating shadows, among other things. In Auto mode, you can't do this (though it might be possible when you use other modes). On the plus side, it does so well in low light that this is less of an issue.* It is not the best all-around point-and-shoot camera. If I were to have just 1 camera in this price range, it would be the Canon PowerShot S100 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide-Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) or something similar. My S95 produces FAR superior images and offers full manual control. BUT... what you are paying for with the D20 is something that you can knock around, drop, take in the water, use in the rain or snow, etc. and not worry about.If you are an outdoor enthusiast and find yourself missing a lot of shooting opportunities because the conditions aren't safe for a regular point-and-shoot, I don't think you can much better than this. I thought of just using my S95 and getting an underwater housing for it, but those are costly. The D20 is capable of great shots, especially in tough conditions (see some of my samples from time in a pool), and is easy to grab at a moment's notice. And that fact that it is rugged makes me a lot more willing to allow my kids to shoot with it. Given the balance of features, image & video quality, and price, I happily give this 5 stars.

On the plus side, it does so well in low light that this is less of an issue.* It is not the best all-around point-and-shoot camera. If I were to have just 1 camera in this price range, it would be the Canon PowerShot S100 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide-Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) or something similar. My S95 produces FAR superior images and offers full manual control. BUT... what you are paying for with the D20 is something that you can knock around, drop, take in the water, use in the rain or snow, etc. and not worry about.If you are an outdoor enthusiast and find yourself missing a lot of shooting opportunities because the conditions aren't safe for a regular point-and-shoot, I don't think you can much better than this. I thought of just using my S95 and getting an underwater housing for it, but those are costly. The D20 is capable of great shots, especially in tough conditions (see some of my samples from time in a pool), and is easy to grab at a moment's notice. And that fact that it is rugged makes me a lot more willing to allow my kids to shoot with it. Given the balance of features, image & video quality, and price, I happily give this 5 stars.

I've had my Canon D20 for about a week now, so this review will not be exhaustive. However, I've played around with it enough to provide some helpful impressions.LIKES* Overall image quality is good. Considering the conditions in which you can shoot with this (wet, cold, hot, dusty, etc.), I'd rate image quality as very good.* Low-light performance. Most of the underwater pictures I've shot were in the pool in the evening with no direct sunlight. Given the lighting conditions, the images far exceed a typical point-and-shoot. Considering they were shot underwater (taking away quite a bit more light), the increased challenges of automatic focusing, etc. and I'd rate the image quality fantastic.* Form factor. A little awkward, but fun and easy to hold & use once you get the hang of it. The included strap is well done, rugged, and can easily cinch tight on your wrist for times when you are in the water or in other settings that might make keeping hold of it a challenge.* Video quality. Excellent! I've been shooting videos in full HD and watching them on my 42" HDTV. The quality far exceeds what I expected.* LCD. It is 3", bright, and easy to use underwater.* Battery life. Very good considering it has no optical viewfinder, meaning the LCD is constantly on.* Zoom. Haven't played with this too much, but the wide range on this camera makes this quite versatile.* Exposure. One pleasant surprise is how quickly and how well the exposure adjusts to/from underwater and out of the water lighting. It does have a dedicated underwater setting, which might further improve my underwater shots, but Auto works great if you are moving back & forth often.DISLIKES* Very limited manual controls. On the plus side, the Auto mode works well, and how much do you really want to fumble with manual settings while underwater or in other challenging settings?* Price. Yes, it is a bit too expensive for everyone to grab one. But $ for $, this is a fantastic bargain for a high-quality rugged, waterproof camera.* Limited flash control.

Takes great photos and is easy to use. Only complaint is that, as it has aged, it has started to indicate batteries need changing too early, in my estimation. You have to shut it down and restart to squeeze more shots out of the batteries, which can be done up to a point.

This adapter works and functions as expected! As with all of these inexpensive Chinese-made adapters, you'll get some manufacturing variances. My particular copy of the adapter was a little tight, but it ended up mounting to my target lens fine after a hint of force. Thankfully, I'm only planning on using it with one lens (a random giant 500mm lens I picked up on eBay for cheap), so I won't have to worry about mounting/dismounting it frequently.
It's a solid piece of metal, and there's no optics to degrade image quality. Overall, I couldn't be happier, especially for the price. Just know that you're not ordering a 100% perfectly inspected piece of gear.

Ужасно
I purchased this o-ring as a backup for the stock o-ring that came with my Canon WP-DC35 (housing for Canon s-90). This o-ring is noticeably larger in diameter than the stock Canon o-ring. Though it keeps water out of the case, because it is larger, the function dial didn't make solid contact with the function wheel on the camera, so i couldn't cycle between different shooting modes. I replaced it with the stock Canon o-ring and didn't have the same problem. I would not buy this o-ring again

Though we bought this camera sometime during '06, and the LCD screen has since cracked, the camera still works wonderfully. Bulky for it's functions by current standards and the picture quality in low lighting leaves a lot to be desired, the camera has lasted a long time and I really must give kudos to that. Considering that the Canon Powershot A-series is now at 4000, I think investing in a camera is this line is worthwhile.
(however, the amazon listed price at $500+ is pretty ridiculous. Even the Powershot 1400 is valued at about $99.00)
