Well you've got all the gear you need thats for sure, i would consider getting a stoffen diffuser for your flash to soften and bounce it if you do need fill flash. Its very difficult to advise without seeing the surroundings and from what distances your taking the photos though! what i would...

You will really struggle on the group shots with a 24-70 on a crop body if its a busy place. Heres a selection of shots i've done on club nights all with a 17-55 lens. All pretty much at the wide end! Sometimes i wish i had another couple of mm wider range...

Starting to get a bit peeved now, i have tried everything but no matter what i do i am still getting "file not supported" errors when i try to get my Macbook Pro to ingest raw files from my 450D. I have downloaded the raw camera support from apple, and have tried opening raw files in both...
