You might be ok with just the one transmitter if your next flash had an optical slave mode?

The YN560III has just come out by the way. It has a built in RF-602/3 receiver http://www.lightingrumours.com/yongnuo-yn560-iii-flashgun-announced-with-built-in-2-4ghz-radio-3257

I was listening to 15 Step, which lead me to search this out again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp09RDlr2DA (Radiohead - The Headmaster Ritual) Not as good as the original, but a decent cover

You sound like you're fairly into photography given your history with Canons and the EOS 300, so I'd recommend either the 40D or 650D depending on need for video and if you want any spare money for extra lenses?

I edit pretty much every photo I take, mainly for white balance, cropping, minor exposure correction and sharpness. I don't like my photos to 'look' edited (apart from some cross-processing). I guess my views fall somewhere in the middle ground - we've become so used to seeing edited photos...

I'm another for the 17 - 50 suggestion. I got my Tamron f/2.8 this week, and the colours, contrast and sharpness far surpass the Canon 18-55 it is replacing (or my copy, at least). The extra 1mm is more noticeable than I imagined, so may help your landscapes. I think it's a great value lens...

Does anyone else think the focus is slightly out, or depth of field too narrow? On a couple of those shots, the detail on her shirt is a bit too soft for me. Maybe it was intentional to highlight the cardigan/shorts which are the actual product being sold though

How much do you plan on using the flash, and for what sort of shots? Do you really need the 'best' model?
