So after Christmas I've got £100 burning a hole in my pocket, and
after several disappointing yuletide snaps using the inbuild D50 Flash
i've decided it's time to invest in something a bit better. There's the
new Nikon SB-400 which was released to coincide with the release of the

I'm newbie in SLR so I will have maybe some funny questions sometimes.:)
I.e. I was very surprised when I learned that LCD can't be used as a
viewfinder. (are there SLRs where it can be done?)
I just got for Xmas Rebel XT.

Here's my (recent) experience
1. Macro shots
Using the Nikon D70, any macro lens, the Nikon SB-600, and Sto-Fen
Omni-Bounce for macro shots is producing consistently underexposed images.

I thought about this after a wedding photography complained that his 5D

cameras will work with the Samsung gx1-L?  The only gun we see listed made

customer, have been for many years.  Why do you feel the need to SPAM me?  I
know what I want and I'll call you when it's time for me to place an order.

following cameras at same f number and focal length ..or will DOF  be

Everyone, please have a Very Merry Christmas.

Which program do you recommend for editing RAWimages?

You know this is really difficult to me. I went thru the a very difficult
stage. Stage of disappointment. I believe that many peoples had a similar
experience. As I said in my previous post I'm newbie in SLR. I know that
this is because of my low experience with SLR's. On our ...

Does anyone think, that Nikon will bring a D200s or even a completely new
model out next year, or will the D200 still be the best buy for a
semiprofessional user one more year?
