The only time I handled a Nikon camera was during a basic photography workshop I took late last year. Three out of every five students had Nikon cameras. About nine of of them asked me for help in...

There are no Yong Nuo flashes that are wireless-TTL capable for $100 or less. The three models you listed are wireless-manual only.

I don't believe it is, since this new lens doesn't have stabilization and would not be as attractive to the target market of the 17-50: users looking to upgrade from their 18-55 kit lens.

There was a thread just recently about "if you could only have one and only one lens..." For me, this lens still isn't it, but I did say I was hoping for a 50-135 f2 for APS-C, so the mere...

Given your stated usage, I'd recommend the following: 650D/T4i w/ EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STMEF-S 60mm f2.8 Macro USMEW-73B lens hood (for 18-135)ET-67B lens hood (for 60) According to Amazon...

Set your camera to Aperture Priority (Av) mode, then turn the dial until you reach the desired f-number. If you've already set your ISO, your camera will calculate the shutter speed automatically.

I just did a search on Amazon.co.uk and here's what I found (all prices in GBP): Camera: Canon 1100D/T3 w/ EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS II: 299.99 Canon 550D/T2i w/ EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS II:...

If we're only talking about lenses that already exist, then I'd choose the EF 85 f1.2L II. Otherwise, I'm hoping Canon makes something like an EF-S 55-135 f2.0 IS USM.

The only Canon lens that meets all your criteria would be the EF-S 17-55mm f2.8.

No, it does not provide phantom power. See the support article...

1/(FLx1.6), so you'd use 1/500 for a 300mm FL on crop.

I have a Phottix LP-E8 battery. Someone else on this forum uses Photive. Speaking only for the Phottix, I bought it in December when my original ran out during a "photo-cation", and couldn't find...

You've stumbled upon the reason the Graduated Neutral Density (GND) filter exists: the considerable difference in exposure values between a sun-lit sky and... everything else that isn't sky. When...

That's the Depth-of-Field Preview button. All it does is close the aperture down according to your set f-number for as long as you hold the button down, to give you a sense of the depth-of-field in...

Sigma makes a similar lens that has all those, I believe, at about the second-hand price Sovern quoted. In any case, I doubt a lot of people would buy this new kit lens separately unless they've...

"Just Dance" - This was part of a dance exhibition by the students of a local dance studio.

Correct. A circular polarizer works hardest when the arrow is directed towards the strongest light source, and weakest when directed at a 90 degree angle from it. Entirely up to you. If you always...
