Im looking for alittle advice. Im an amateur photographer and have shot digitally for the last four years. I have been assisting a friend of my as he shot weddings and have really enjoyed the challenge of it. I currently use a Nikon d300s/d200 combo but only have mediocre lens (tamron 28-75...

Hi everyone, i have a nikon d300s and various lens. I have the chance to shoot some weddings as a 2nd and i really dont want to do them without a 2nd body. As i dont have any/much spare cash my options are 1.keep the d300s and buy a s/h d70 or d70s as a just in case. 2.sell the d300s and...

If you had a nikon d300s (as i do) would you sell it to buy a Nikon d7000, i cannot afford a d700 but from what i read the d7000 is way better at high iso than the d300s and the image quality is better too. I mainly shoot portraits inside and out using natural light and 2nd shoot at the odd...

Many thanks to all of you for your replys, i will take everything you have said on board. Do i need two bodys ? not really as im shooting with someone else but i would feel a bit of a pratt if my camera went down and coundnt shoot anything. I think my issue with pp and colours are i use...

Thanks dr o, the d90 thing was if i stick with the nikon system i can get 2 d90's for the price of a d300s Backup. My heart wants to go back to canon where i was comfy !! but my heads say nikon. Im normally not a gear head but this is driving me nuts.

Im not really sure what you mean but i feel i really got on with the canon system, knew when to over and under exposure it, knew what it needed in pp for it to look better etc it was just my in focus percentage was very low, could have been me, the glass, the bodies who knows all i know is that...

Hey all, i used to shoot all canon (350d,30d,50d) and switched to a Nikon d300s as i had been having focus issues and i had no paid photoshoots left to do so no back up stuff needed. Im loving the nikon d300s's focus (wow) but i find it really hard to use, everything is backwards and i had a...

Mpbphotographic have a used 70-200 f2.8is and the f4is version in secondhand at the minute, if youre in the uk.

I have a Jessops afn360 flash that i use with my d300s, i find that it doesnt always work ittl ( some shots it puts just the right amount of light out and the next it just puts full power out ) but i usually set it up in manual. Ive used a friends sb600 with hid d700 and it was amazing, never...

According to dxomark the canon 1d mk2 has a better iso performance. I dont know if that is true in a real world situation as i have never shot one, im hoping you guys can help me with that. Im sure both cameras will give great results as long as the photographer knows how to use them but im...

I currently shoot with a Nikon d300s, tamron 28-75 f2.8, nikon 50mm f1.8 and a nikon 70-210 f3.5-5.6 zoom lens. I used to be a canon shooter 350d,30d and 50d but wanted something with better autofocus hence the d300s. Now i like the d300s but i miss the files from my canon cameras and the way...

I current shoot with Nikon d300s, nikon 50mm f1.8, nikon 70-210 f3.5-5.6 and a tamrom 28-75 f2.8. I am wanting to upgrade my equipment but i really dont have ANY cash to spend to speak of so i was thinking of selling all my stuff and some none photography stuff which should get me around the...

hi everyone, i currently shoot nikon d300s but used to shoot canon. I really dont like the noise of the d300s even at low iso's. Would you still buy a 5d classic now ? as am thinking of selling my nikon gear and buying 5d mk1,50 f1.4 and 85 f1.8. Would you do it ? cont I mainly shoot...
