Right, on that set of advice I've now also dived in and ordered a set of the triggers and one yongnuo 460mkII to accompany the Jessops flash. Thanks all, fingers crossed!

Will I be able to trigger the existing Jessops slave with the RF602 trigger? Or will I have to just go for two of the yongnuo 460mkII's?

Hi everyone, Just a quick query; I want to start playing around a little with using external flashes on my Nikon D300, but sadly the on-board flash got smashed when I was covering the protests in London last year (stupid protest boards!). I'm shooting with (as mentioned) a D300, and using...

Winter Wonderland? You'd best hope it's not one of those ones that's been mentioned in the rags in the past couple of weeks!

I saw a photo of Graham Le Saux on the BBC Football website last week 'togging at Chelsea vs Burnley...

To be fair, after looking at it, the tags do include, "big breasted," "good looking blonde," "sexy," and "hot." :lol:

At first, it's likely to be mostly football stuff but I guess I would like to branch out into a couple of other things and for that reason I think I'll go for the D300. Thanks to everyone who commented. :clap:

Sorry, only just seen the replies to this. Mr MacIntosh, your comments are most useful. I've decided to go for a D300 now. Just need to decide on a lens and then get haggling! Cheers.

Aha, not my opinion, just relaying someone else's onto you. :D General consensus seems to be although D2H is a great camera, it can't stand up to the D300 and in general, the new high res cameras.:thumbs: Cheers for everyones help. If anyone could add anymore, I'd be more than grateful.

Thanks for the replies, and cheers to DoubleT for the link. All interesting and helpful stuff. According to this pro, I shouldn't "get suckered into some of the sub par sport photos you see on flickr or in the news papers as they are cropped to show a specific moment and nothing else. Crop is...

Ok, Had my heart set on the D300 but have recently been advised to go for a second-hand D2H by a pro freelance football photographer, due to pro camera's having faster focus and more fps and a 200mm fixed lens AFS. Just wanted to gauge the opinion of others on the subject, so please, go...

Don't go for the N95, go for the N82. I always found my N95 to be quite buggy, and the flash is awful. With the N82, picture quality seems better and it has Xenon flash which makes all the difference on a camera phone in low light.

Well you certainly live up to your avatar! So, general consensus is that in an ideal world, I'll want a 50mm F/1.8 lens, and something up to 300mm, ideally F/2.8. I was looking at the Nikon D300. Any idea as to whether that's in line for a price drop by say Christmas? Thanks for all your...

Thanks. And for something like Football?

Ok. I'm new here. So far I've been shooting with a simple Bridge camera. I have a basic knowledge relating to the effects of aperture, shutter speed, iso sensitivity, etc. I generally shoot outdoor sports and indoor concerts, but would like to experiment with a few other things. Budget of around...
