The Battery

Someone brought up somthing that I was curious about, the D800 has CF and SD.  Obviously I have all SD cards (a 16gb and a 64gb uhs-1 sandisk).  Are there any significatn advantages of CF vs SD?  I...

Thanks to all for the detailed input!  I'd been leaning toward the D800 and you all have pushed me over the edge.  A few of you mentioned the D800E, is there any down side to not having that...

Hopefully this question isnt too tired (I searched but couldnt find exactly what I was looking for) but I'm basically looking for some external input on the decision...I'm looking to upgrade in the...

I answered a craigs list ad from them for my local area and I am trying to do some research on them before i sign on.All the bad reviews i read about them really stemed from incompetent...

I'll look a little more into the 468II, does anyone know of any other brands of TTL flashes that are any good?(i thought the 560's were TTL, but i guess not, thanks for the heads up!)

Anyone know of a good TTL flash under $100?I'm looking at the YN465, YN560 and YN560IIRequirements for this flash:-TTL-AF-assist lamp-180 + 90 Swivel head-Light Trigger option-Under $100Power /...

BAK:  Thanks for putting in some time and giving a good response, sorry if i'm comming off as a little prickly, it's a little daunting trying to get a group shot this large (as you can guess,...

Now my measly 30 people shot dosent seem that bad! I'll try to answer as many of the points as i can:For flashes, I have 2 Yongnuo 460ii's (i know, not very powerfull) and one SB700. I'm not sure...

I'm doing a very large group picture for a family that has a lot of people comming in for the holidays.  It's going to be around 30 people with ages ranging from 8 months to 80 years.Here's what...

Placed 85^th in the challenge.

First, thanks to all for the input!  But, we're getting a little off topic.  I'll try to address as much as i can...Reasons to shift towards FX:-I love my 85mm, but 127 (DX) is a little tight.  I...

I recently shot in a poorly lit church and using an 85 at f/1.8 i was at 1600 on my D7k which was fine.  My wife was there with a D50 using an 18-200 at about f/5.6.  The D50 only goes to 1600 ISO...

Ok, hear me out on this one, I've been saving up for a little while now and have enough to either get the D600 or the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8.  I was thinking about getting the 70-200 but i know i'd use...

Thanks for the detailed response!I was going to respond inside your post but they've striped out all the normal forum controls! ARGGGG... (and every time i hit enter it freezes up!!!!!)  Is there...

I am helping out my church by taking headshots for the website and I'm wondering what the best setup would be.  The church is huge, so I've got plenty of space to work in.There's approximately 20...

Make sure you're not in wireless remote mode (does D90 have this?).  I have the D7000, and i set mine on [Single, or continuous high, etc] and [auto focus] and it works fine.  If i set it to remote...

I dont think you can do it with the IR remote.  I think the best you can do with that is the interval shooting...I'd recomment getting radio triggers like the Yongnuo RF603n.  I have 4 of them and...

Placed 3^rd in the challenge. Did this for a series of beer reviews on my blog. It was fun getting the scene setup and lit...

I also have the D7k and SB700 and have done a handful of weddings with that combo. I perfer having the SB700 oncamera pointed up (assuming low to medium height ceilings) with a paddle diffuser or...
