As if either one drive is dead then I can replace it and the data still be there. Although I know Raid 1 can do that. But aren't raid 1 has to have even number of drives? Where raid 5 can have odd numbers as well as even. Correct me if i am wrong :)

Anyone thinks Raid 5 would be better than Raid 1 if I have 3+ drives?

D700 has the advantage with more AF points and built in flash. Although I might not use that flash as would get an external flash as well But it can be use as a remote flash. Canon 5D Mark II has the advantage of video and higher resolution for landscape shootings. But it has no flash so have...

So for ultra wide then probably best to get 16-35mm F2.8 Canon then?! In nikon, there is 17-35mm and 16-35mm but both are too expensive to get atm. And only Tamrom/Sigma the alternatives. Or I probably wont get an ultra wide if using nikon D700. But my fd has Canon 17-40mm, this pictures...

Currently it is just a hobby, but I would love to be making money with it. But that would need a lot of time as I am not a professional and I don't take that much good pictures yet. I did have an album but then cancel it after 1-2 years. Now I only put them up on facebook....:lol:

Yes that might do. But Personally like to use primes to shoot portrait and "food" and zooms for normal stuff..

Thanks for all the comments. I thought for a long time, I personally really want to buy 35mm F2, 50mm F1.4 and 85mm F1.8 to use for portrait and "food" photography. But I don't know if canon/nikon would be better. And if I get nikon I probably would get a 24-85mm F2.8/4 or 3.5/4.5 for normal...

I might want to get 77mm ND filters so that all of my lenses can use when need it to. But not sure about ultra wide yet. As I just posted my current thinking in above post. I have got a tripod now, although very seldom use. :)

I can get an ultra wide to use for my landscape . But can use a telephoto lens for landscape as well. But I won't get both at the moment. I really don't know what I am feeling right now. Mayb my fd is trying to persuade me to buy Canon 5D Mark II as he got it for few months and he said if I...

Hi all, Currently, I have D300 , Nikon 16-85mm and Sigma 30mm F1.4 What would you all do if you have 1000 pounds in hand? Would you sell everything and upgrade to D700 with 24-85mm zoom and prime lenses? Or stay the same and get more prime lenses or mayb a ultra wide as well!? And...

How about a 35mm F2? 217GBP so just add a bit more for that.

Went for the 16-85mm as found one "nearly brand new" from a LCE in Manchester for 320. Very impressive.

Yes you are right. Cause I haven't decide which one to go with yet and would like to know more about each lens feels in different people hands. And I am constantly looking at sample pictures to see which one I like.

Also I want to know if the 18-70mm can be better than the Sigma or Nikon 16-85mm? :P

What do u think of the 16-85mm, will you want to change it or keep the Sigma?
