I have the Impact (3 months old) and the newer SB900+ don't fit properly in the braket. If starting over again I would get one off eBay for $50 instead, plus the eBay versions come with a grid....

If your a Jpeg shooter the D800 might be a good choice since you have options for file size while retaining the benifits of the better sensor DR and high ISO.

I handled the D600 at Costco the other day and was impressed with the feel of it. IMO  better looking and feel compared to the D7000. With a Grip attached it would be just the right size for me ( I...

Using diffusion with strobes is not practical unless your shooting them bare. Some do power down really low like the Einsteins. Speed lights work really well with large apertures and can take ND...

I can't help wonder if the new sensor rumored to be coming out in the next 18months is related to Nikon's big recent descounts either to get commited FF users in lue of another company coming out...

the Luminous Landscape's best and worst of 2012 mentions the following. "Also, as Sigma undoubtedly knows, within the next 18 months one of the major sensor and camera makers is going to release an...

Yeah I expect the DX line to carry the load in 2013, but also wouldn't be surprised to see some rebates or promos later on in 2013. For now buying into FF is not the best timing. Refurbished...

After the big discounts on the various camera bodies people that were looking to buy probably have by now. Sales of FF have got to be very low  for the next few months. Will we see more discounts...

Years back I tried to save money going with the hot shoe optical triggers, tied several brands I ended up sending some back and throwing others in the garbage. I now use Photix Stratos and they...

Seems to me there are a whole lot more buyers for a D400 then a D4X at $6,000+. DX is the biggist profit machine on the DSLR line for Nikon. A D400 at $1599 would sell very well. when all these...

6% rewards brings it down to about $1880, not bad. Sell the lens for $380 and you have your $1500 FF body. At that price it will probably hold its value for a while. Mean while D700s are still...

Download the raw images from both and process them on your computer and see exactly what the differences are, thats what I do. You can get the files from the comparisons in the camera reviews. IMO...

For studio work it's unlikely you will be shooting at large apertures and high ISOs if your using flash so FF is really not much of an advantage there IMO. Save your money for lighting and...

Some might enjoy Joel's Lit Up series. He has a lot of  behind the scenes videos on You tubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEuEKZTlrms  I think there are 8 of these to watch.

Even in my 20x24' garage I could use another 6 ft from my subjects. What ever the situation just have fun and don't box yourself in to having to do it like everyone else. Joel  Grimes for example...

Returned two lenses for front focus, a 18-70 & the new 85 F1:8 G, after that I will never buy another DSLR without AF fine tune. The other one a DX 85vr I didn't like the bokeh and CA, otherwise I...

Nikon can't hardly give away those J & V bodies what makes NIkon think people will buy expensive $500 + lenses for them?  With all the DXO mark talk about lenses and visual MP equivalents the CX...

I want to see some 100% crops to really prove that one lens is 6mp vs a 17mp one in visual resolution.

Just get LR and keep using CS5.

Even so experts still have a hard time telling the difference between photos made from a 14mp P&S camera and a meduim format digital camera of the same scene under the right conditions. Just...
