"Simplicity is golden. Your rain covers eliminate the gaggle of straps, velcro, etc. that complicate other brand covers! One needs to be quick to get shots." (Pro 16" & 30" covers)
Merrill Lowden - Douglas, AK
"I’ve used these covers in rain and in wet snow and they do a good job. The Velcro opening and drawstrings on both ends are elegant in their simplicity. And the see-through material used for the “white” covers-silicon-impregnated ripstop nylon-is really tough and waterproof." (Pro 20", 25", and 30" covers)

"The 16" Pro Camera Raincoat was a good friend to have along for the High School football season here. A big plus about the material in your rain cover is the visibility that it affords
to the user to be able to see the display and controls through the material. I am very pleased with the performance and ease of use of your products."

"This cover is a godsend for all wedding photographers! I bought my second raincoat for my camera from you today. The first one is still great after a couple of years and has been with me all over the world. To the envy of other photographers in England I was able to take pictures even in the rain. Thank you! Anyway I wanted another for my spare camera bag and I also ordered a third one today as a gift for my associate photographer so she is well covered too. Further more I will go online and tell everybody in the photo forum to order one if they have not done so already...you guys are the greatest. Thank you!" (Original 16" cover)"

"I own several 'high end' rain products but I still find yours is my 'go to' rain cover." (Original 15" - we've since enlarged to be 16", Pro 20" covers)
Michael Brant - Mountain Lakes, NJ
"I was hesitant about this rain cover but ended up buying one anyway. Recently on a shoot where it rained all day, the cover absolutely kept my gear dry. It wasn't a lite drizzle either, but a constant downpour. Great product and looking to purchase a couple more." (Pro 16" cover)

"I just got back from 10 days in the cloud forests of Ecuador and your camera raincoats really saved the day. We had a ton of rain. I had bought one (Pro) 25" white one for my Nikon 200-400VR lens and then a second one (Pro 16", black) to use with the Nikon 80-400VR lens. I should have bought them both in black--the white really screamed out in the rainforest. Thanks again--this is probably the most useful camera accessory I've bought in a long time!"

"It's a remarkably simple little cover that scrunches up into a tiny ball in my camera bag when not in use, yet provides rain protection even with my big Nikkor 70-200 VR zoom on my D200." (Original 16" cover)

"I am very impressed with the ease and durability of my (Original 16") camera raincoat. The material used allows water to roll off and away from my camera bodies & lenses. Your 15 day trial offer is unheard of in our industry!"

"I would like to purchase the 16" Camera rain cover with tripod opening in Black. I will be using it with a Canon EOS Mark II, Canon 5D, or Canon 40D with Canon 100-400 MM or 35-350 MM lenses. I had your white one....loved it. Used it often and finally while on a trip to photograph Polar Bears at -30 to -55 degrees F it lasted about 5 days then it finally cracked. Still worked with duct tape. No complaints. Great product."
FotoSharp note: We asked for more info on this feedback and got the following response:
"The crack on the old one was at the front about 1.5 - 2 inches back behind the lens elastic. The push-pull motion at the extreme cold temperatures affected it and made it brittle I'm sure. It actually happened at night when we were trying to photo the northern lights and used the cover to prevent ice crystals from forming on the camera & lens. The temps were probably below -55 F."

"I do environmental still photo and audio interview portraits at Burning Man. Dust storm whiteouts are a common occurrence in the Black Rock Desert, this poses a serious problem for DSLR camera sensors. My images from 2005 needed a lot of retouching due to dust on the sensor. 2007 was my second year using the (Pro 16") FotoSharp rain cover as a dust cover, it performed above my expectations. In 2007 we had some of the worst white out dust storms I've seen, 3 straight days of 4-6hr white outs with very high winds. Looking at my images I don't see any dust on the sensor! We purchased another cover for camera #2 this year. My only regret is that I didn't take the (Original 8") point and shoot rain cover Bob had sent me. Thanks again for an excellent product and excellent customer service."

"I just got back from a vacation trip to Canada. I took your rain cover and rain covers made by three other companies, yours being the least expensive. It rained most of the time I was there, and your rain cover ended up being the only one I used." (comments on our Original 15" cover, we've since enlarged to 16")

"Just wanted to let you know what a great product you have. I purchase the 16 inch with tripod mount and just returned from Niagra Falls, you can't get any wetter than this place. Everything stayed dry and only the lens had to be wiped off. I know it will also work great on my ski trips in the snow. Thanks again."

"I was very impressed with the rain cover (Original 15", Pro 20") on a recent 6 week trip to the SW deserts for wildflower images. I used it mostly as a dust cover while photographing the Eureka Dunes at Death Valley NP. I would like to endorse your raincovers in my online journal with your permission."
Ed Book - Silverdale, WA
"Your (Original 15") rain cover has definitely earned a space in my backpack (not that it needs a lot of space)."
K. Igel - Ramloese, Denmark
"Thanks so much for sending this (Pro 16") camera raincoat so quickly. It's just so useful and really well made. I couldn't find one here in Aus. I tried to make one but failed miserably. It was so easy to buy it from you, easier than walking down the street and wandering through the shops. Yet you're the other side of the world. Amazing. Thanks again."
Andrea Lord - Doncaster, East Victoria, Australia
"The (Original 15") rain cover has been a great addition to my camera bag. I used it for 10 days in the Boundary Waters of MN and it performed beautifully, keeping my camera accessible yet reasonably protected. Thanks for a great product."
D. Smith - Hixson, TN
"A great product both for rain & also as protection from weeds & brush overhanging the trail on backpacking trips." (Original 15")
L. Forbes - Nelsonville, OH
"I just wanted to drop you a note. I purchased your (Original 12") camera cover a few weeks ago and I was extremely happy with it. My wife and I had taken it to Paris for our vacation (to be used on my Canon 10D). We had anticipated some rain, so I thought that your rain cover may be of some use. Not only was it so easy to use, the cover did terrific when it rained! We took some great photos! Thanks helping create a memorable Paris vacation!"
Elgyn P. Cortes - Pasadena, CA
"Awesome product. Took (my) Canon 1Ds + Sigma 120-300 f2.8 out for 4 hours in a blizzard, great shots, not a drop on the camera! (Original 16" cover)"

John Church - Livonia, MI "Great service to be able to "try before buy!" Extremely light and compact size." (Pro 16" & 30" covers)
Donald McCrosky - Slidell, LA
"They are easier to use than the Aquatech and since they are translucent I can use the cameras without exposing them."
R. Smith - Costa Mesa, CA
"Went to an outdoor performance and the rain rolled in. I put the (Pro 20") camera all the way in the rain cover, pulled the cords tight. My 3 day old S3 Pro was nice & dry, I was wet."

"Thanks much for the (Original 10" & 12") camera rain covers (from the second wettest place on earth!!)."
Lance Laack - Palikir, Pohnpei - Federated States of Micronesia
"I have to say that the (Original 15") rain coat came in handy on the glaciers of Iceland. And I covered a Navy CPO initiation last week during the raging of hurricane Ivan and spent 36 hours outside in the rain with a Canon 10D with no problems."
L. Wieger - Hamilton Square, NJ
"Thanks for your quick shipping. The trip was incredible. The enclosed foto was taken at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Most of the time there was so much misting from the falls we got soaken wet. Your (Pro 16") rain cover worked outstanding."
Robert Tobiansky - Lake Zurich, IL
"Just returned from a trip to Bali, Indonesia. October is the start of the rainy season and it rained 5 of the eight days we were there. I used your product on my new Nikon D2x with confidence. It worked great! Thank you." (Original 12", Pro 16" covers)
M. Wyatt - Dillon, CO "I mostly take pictures at the beach. This will help a lot." (Original 15" cover)

"Bought to take on a whale watching boat trip. It worked great at protecting my lenses & camera from the spray while others had to hide inside their coats or just gave up. I could leave mine out." (Original 12" cover)
James McEwen, Kansas City, MO
"Thanks for a great product. It is waterproof and very light. It (Original 16" cover) covers my EOS 3, 1.4x extender, and 100-400mm lens fully extended."
William Betts - Redondo Beach, CA
"The day I received the (Pro 20") raincoat it was raining, so I had an instant opportunity to put it to the test. Had a great time & dry camera."
David Ames - Fremont, NE
"Thank you for getting the (Original 15") camera raincoats here so quickly. It rained off and on all Saturday during a NADAC agility competition. We were able to fulfill our commitments as photographers for the event because we had your raincoats protecting our cameras. One camera sat on a tripod most of the day. The other two cameras we kept in our hands. None of the cameras got even one drop of rain on them. Thank you for a great product."
Anne Lee - San Diego, CA
"Gave my old one (Original 15" cover) to a friend who is a photographer for Paintball 2 Xtreme Magazine so had to have another one (16" Pro cover) to protect mine. Thanks and keep up the great work and great products."
G. Bowman - Willis TX
"Nice, well-made product. Should last for years, and will come in handy. Thanks!" (Original 15" cover)

J.L. Fitzgerald - Launceston, United Kingdom
"I've used the rain shield (clear white rain protector) in Berlin at the last two World Ice Racing Championships. The product kept my camera bone-dry. I've used it as a dust shield too on particularly hot days when photographing speedway. Keeps the dust off the equipment. They fit in my bag and I use them to keep the space between lenses as extra padding. First class products!"
I. Consterdine - Manchester, United Kingdom
"In June had to go to my nephews’ wedding and all it did was rain, luckily I had purchased one of your (Pro 16") rain covers for my Canon 40d….. All I can say is your product far exceeded my expectations. Well built, light and very cost efficient. I will recommend your product to all of my photo friends."
Raymond Laverdure - Havre, MT
"This is a product (Pro 16" & 20" covers) that is great for forest, wildlife and any still/tripod outdoor camera work."
Laura Perrin - Switzerland

"I bought the (Pro) 16 inch camera raincoat for my trip to Iguassu Falls. I am impressed how it kept my camera dry. I ended up using wide-angle lenses shooting the falls so I used the extra cover for my head. I wear glasses so keeping my face dry is a big plus. I wish there is a way to keep water droplets off the lens. I wish I had this product when I was photographing Victoria Falls. The conditions are even worse there. I highly recommend this product!"
Robert Higaki - Watsonville, CA

"Just a little testimonial for your rain covers. I now have two, one white (Pro 16") and one camo (Pro 20"), and they are excellent. They do the job well, without fuss, are compact and easily stored. Other types seem over complicated and awkward to use, with little windows that you can’t see through properly, stiff material, and so on, whereas yours are very easy to use and seem to have been designed, and tested, with practical use in mind. Excellent product!"
John Fryatt - Northamptonshire, UK
"1st spot of rain on Sunday was all it took [to my friends amusement] for me to try out the (Pro 20") rain cover. Ease of use was a big plus, taking seconds to put on. On my 200-400mm Nikkor it just fits the bill length wise. I found that between rain showers if you don't want to keep it on you can easily fix it at the top of the mono pod using the draw cord instead of taking it of completely. At the end of the day a very positive first impression!"

"Camera 'raincoat' has proved it's worth. No longer nervous about the threat of water gettng my camera wet as coat protects it well. Recommend FotoSharp for fast efficient service. Also refreshing to see this type of 15 day free trial arrangement available in this day & age."
