Personally, I tend to leave Auto ISO on my camera since I would rather have some noise and an in focus and sharp shot that an out of focus shot. I also tend to use a speedlite with Balanced Fill-in flash these days too.

Now that is just not fair :-( Have a good day.

Put 64 bit on it to allow the use of 64bit versions of LR2 and CS5. See if you can increase the RAM too. Most manufacturers will fill all RAM slots so you may find you have 2 and an expansion slot which will all have 1GB inserted, these can be swapped out for 2GB SIMMS/DIMMS to increase the...

If you can clone out the head in the bottom of the frame this is also improve the picture.

The OP has not specified which HD resolution is required, so 720p may well be fine.

How much RAM does your graphics card(s) have onboard? I thoroughly recommend 8GB or RAM on W7 64Bit, I am greedy and run 12GB but use VMWare a lot for work. If you run LR and PS together you can easily use 1.5 to 2 GB of RAM between these two apps let alone the OS and 3d party Windows...

I can recommend the Ansmann Energy 8 Plus and the TechnoLine BC-700/900. They are not cheap but are very good.

If you don't need the VR you wil save yourself a fair amount of cash going for the non VR version. I bought one for about £110 new several years ago.
