At least from a manufacturing and supple standpoint!  To prevent supply and
demand problems Apple has refused to release the iPhone till they had enough
in stock (3-million units) to meet high customer demand.  Now if Nikon and
Canon would take the effort to follow this business ...

I am planning to purchase a Speedlight for use with my Nikon D-80.
Any thoughts or comments on the SB-600 versus the SB-800?  Is the SB-800
worth the extra $125 or so?
Thanks

I am considering buying a Nikon D40x with the the 18-135 AF-S DX Lens.
My local store only has the 18-55mm lens, so I have not seen the longer

I need one to make my Olympus E500
automatically fire off a 7-sequence

but not being able to use legacy lenses because the brainless new
camera can't meter is really not acceptable.

Although B&H Photo for once can't get its act together and is now saying it
anticipates delivery in June, and is very annoyed when you call to ask them
when they might be able to sell you a $4,499 body, I am happy to report that
my local camera shop received 4 on Friday.  Now, ...

Here is one example why shooting RAW is
beneficial. I shot this picture at a baseball game
in the evening after a storm. I forgot I was in
manual mode and it was over exposed by about 1.5

A couple of years ago, this group did a wonderful job of helping me recover a
