Some good conversation going on and some good points to think about, thank you for that. I don't think that the D7000 offers enough value for money right now to warrant me finding the extra cash, the D300 has given me something to think about though as it has been pointed out, they don't seem...

I think I've convinced myself to uprgade from my current body, a Nikon D5000 to a D90. I just wanted to check I wasn't going mad or wasting cash, but it seems like a worthwhile upgrade to me. I realise the sensors and AF tech etc are essentially the same, but I will gain... an additional...

I can't make a comparison, but I do have the Nissin for my Nikon and it does a great job - especially when you consider the features VS price difference of the Nikon/Cannon speedlight. I'd consider myself at the top end of beginner in terms of skill and I can't see myself needing to upgrade it...

OK, my camera body is a Nikon D5000 so... If heading out in daytime, I'll usually grab > Tamron 17-50mm OR Nikon 35mm depending on mood and, well, that's usually all! If I had to grab three bits I guess I would take both lenses and a flash, but I tend to travel light if I'm just going out and...

As other have said, depends on the subject. Archtechture, vehicles, 'non moving type stuff' I'd say 50% were usable and I'd be really pleased with 2 or 3 out of 100. At BBQ's with friends etc ('casual' shooting) I'm much less critical as it's more about capturing a bit if the day/evening than...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows if the cheapy PT-04 wireless triggers are compatible with the SB-700? The websites I've visited list it as comparable with the SB-600, 800 and 900 but none mention the 700??

http://www.computerbatteries.co.uk/ have always sorted me out with a replacement battery at a reasonable price for the laptops at work

I use http://quickrpickr.com/ to get started just stick your flickr username in th first box and click the 'display photos' button. Give it a second to process, tick the photos you want to use, set the options at the bottom, click the 'generate...' button, DONE! Yell if you get stuck/need...

I think flim has been the 'old way' of producing photographs for long enough now that it has a retro appeal. I'm 28 and had film cameras when younger but switched to digital at around age 16, and from there digital really took over, it changed from being a gadget to the main way of taking...

You may want to consider getting something that uses normal AA batteries so you can take a ton and/or buy more - there aren't many places to recharge batteries in a field! Other than that, budget digital cameras are all much of a muchness TBH.

I find http://quickrpickr.com/ very useful - chuck your Flickr username in the box, set how many images you want to 'review', click "display photos", wait a second, tick all images you want to use, select sizes etc from the bottom, click "generate HTML code" - DONE! Copy and paste the contents...

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna upgrade the HDD in it and retain the simplicity of having one 'live' HDD in the machine and an external one for backups. I think ths will remove a layer of confusion with regards to archiving files off and remembering to back up another external drive etc.

That wouldn't be a problem as long as there was no noticable slow down, I assume working on large files accross USB would introduce a noticable lag? Jim.R: Version 2.x Letting Aperture manage I assume, I just create a new folder/project in Aperture, import the RAW files into it and get working!

Hello everyone :D The HDD on my MacBook is closer than I'd like to being totally filled! the main culprit is, of course, digital photographs. My ideal solution would be this... Big external HDD for an aperture archive. Once I have finished processing/editing images and exported a copy...
