    Choosing a DSLR dilema

    This is becoming awfully complicated now :lol: So, ttl is out of the question as I dont have a flash commander. The only way I can have an off camera flash outdoors is buy using a radio trigger? I could use a flash indoors in slave mode, if I also use the pop up flash. Im right?

    Downhill mtb isnt a majour priority, I was think of just using the 18-55 for now, do you think the 35mm would strike a good balance for both situations, models/bikes etc. Having a sb600 would also work as a commander wouldnt it? So in the future I could a di-622, are there any other cheaper...

    Fair enough, I dont think its a good deal but they can offer whatever they want, but not obeying by trading laws is another matter, along with pc world, currys and vodafone. Lce is another company I will never deal with. Yeh, ive decided to keep the d40 now and invest in decent lenses which...

    Choosing a DSLR dilema

    Ive just read what you have said again, ttl for would be to exspensive because I think I would need an exspensive flash like the sb-600 800 etc to work as a comander and then buy a second flash for of the camera. Whicj would completely blow the budget out of the water. Really my best option...

    Choosing a DSLR dilema

    Regarding the yn460ii, I dont know alot about this, but do you mean it picks up the flash from the camera which it then copies? Sounds abit basic, another use for the camera will be shooting dh mountain biking, which of course is going to be outside in a dark forrest, so you would recomend a...

    Choosing a DSLR dilema

    :thinking: how is it not? The other 6 or 7 used d40's they have in stock must have been bought for £95 quid which they are selling between £200-£270, just because I wasnt daft enough to sell mine at that price, the other 7 have been ripped off. To add to it further, the salesmen put...

    Really, lce are selling the body for £200 and lens for £69 you can find it cheaper else where, but only about £200 so £95 still looks shocking, especially when you consider I was going to buy one of there cameras, it wasnt a cash deal.

    Choosing a DSLR dilema

    Well a trade is out of the question now, ive phoned around a few shops and the most they will give for a perfect camera and lens is £95, there selling it for £270, crooks in my eyes. I can stretch my budget abit more if needed, what do you think of the nissin si622 mark ii, when I was first...

    Choosing a DSLR dilema

    Ive not looked into that lens before, but surely there is a lens of the same quality for cheaper that isnt af-s? and the money saved could be used for upgrading to a d80. Tell me no if im wrong. We've looked at the sb400 but it doesnt really suit our needs, we want something that can be...
