Thanks for the advice guys, I opted for the SB-600. I felt the SB-700 was more than I needed to pay, although I had a good offer from Digital Depot. I ended up buying here in Turkey, as for some reason the 600 was the same price here as the UK (usually all electronic stuff is much more expensive...

Ok, so now I see there's a Nissin D-622 Mark 2. Here's a simplification of what I hope to achieve, your suggestions as to which would be the better option would be gratefully received. 1. 80% of my photos are indoors, portraits of my kids and other family members. 2. 20% are outside, my kids...

Now that's where I'd have a problem. I tend to try to take unplanned unposed shots, which often means powering up and clicking away. I guess I was hoping for a bit of a miracle, that being a another brand of flash that would do everything an SB-600 can but without additional bits or setting...

Ok, I think I'm going to reveal my ignorance, bear with me as I'm new to all of this. From what i can judge so far, the SB-600 is the simplest way to go if I just want to set everything on auto. Although mean with money I'm worse with technology so it's looking as though for ease of use I...

Si, I'm looking for a flash for my D90, but I don't like spending money so I have a problem. At the moment I mostly shoot indoors, photos of my twins, and I've been relying on the built-in flash allied to a 50mm F1.8, but I'm thinking I can get much better results with a speedlight, either on...

And here's that old chestnut again. Which extra lens? I have a D90 with a 50mm F1.8 and the 18mm-55mm standard that came with the body. I want one more lens, only one, I'm married, and she already thinks I've wasted enough money on the D90, two more and it'll be divorce time, so one. But which...

I'm in the market for a Lowepro 102 AW, but before I order one I need to know if my D90 will fit with a 28-200 zoom attached, can anyone tell me if it will? Unfortunately I can't find one of these bags here in Turkey to try. While I'm at it, is the 102 AW recommended for day to day use? I...

It looks like it'll be the Canon 4700, we don't get as much choice here in Turkey as elsewhere but this one is available and seems to be highly recommended, in its price range anyway. Ordering today. Thanks for the replies.

Olympus OM2n, probably the best hobbyist SLR of the 70's and 80's.....well, so I think anyway. Jump forward 30 years and it seems like something dug up in ancient Egypt. I hope to get out and take some shots of the city over the summer, and will post them up as I go.

I'm on the lookout for a decent photo printer. I seem to be coming across lots of all-in-one models but few dedicated printers.....it must be said the choices here in Istanbul are few and far between. Am I going to get decent prints from an all-in-one....I've seen an HP with 9400 x 2400 DPI, or...

Hi all, I'm a Brit expat living in Istanbul. I've just revived my old hobby of photography, which faded away some time back in the 80's....in the days of the OM2n. I just bought a Nikon D90, which apparently can do everything including make me a coffee, I've yet to figure out how it does this...
