Nikon is pretty good at coming close on WB but I'd say I tweak a good 60% of my shots still. With Lightroom I just get one per 'set' done and then set all around it to that. Goes really fast. As someone with multiple color deficiences (aka color blindness) WB is a bitch to nail and AWB helps...

If low light is really the concern then you should just go ahead and get a Nikon D3s. We await your review! As far as rechargables go, Eneloop all the way. 16 of those guys gets ya over 2k flash pops... As far as the velcro thing, all I can say is that I've taken the setup in driving...

Is there anything in the world less troublesome than Velcro???? It comes apart in a flash (heh!) Congrats on the new lens and good luck with it.

Yes, I suspect you are going to get a much different reaction from your, er, targets. Scenario #1: Quiet, smiling, vaguely asian man armed with a PnS? Harmless! =) Scenario #2: Dude with his head buried behind a DSLR and big honkin flash unit? DANGER DANGER! Is this a fanboi with too...

I've never bit on the Fong adapters (based on price mostly!), but I know others who swear by them. I use the Honl system, I find it very adaptable in many situations. I used to use a Sto-fen on all my flash shots and those are cheap and better than bare flash IMO, but I think the Honl's beat...

Here's my philosophy on stuff like that: Gear, in general, is a commodity. Pro gear however is usually worth the price premium. If unsure if one of two pieces of consumer gear are better, go for the cheap one and use it until it breaks. If the pro gear is not astronomical in price (say...

Canon lenses are bargains compared to the Nikons equivalents. QYB =)

IS only fixes shake not subject movement. Indoors IS is not a substitute for fast glass.

Love my 17-40, even on a crop camera. It's sitting on a shelf now just waiting for Canon to introduce a sub 1k FF camera =p Or an EVIL cropper.

I use the Phottix Cleon for my Nikon D300 and use it both as a wired trigger and wirelessly much less often. It's awesome as both but i couldnt live without the wired trigger functionality for my astro stuff. Oh and the 85 1.8 was my favorite portrait lenses on the 20D, even with the crop factor.

Agreed totally, tho I have to admit that my buying both the 14-24 and 24-70 at one time due to the Cashback bonanza really satisfied my lens lust all at once. There's nothing quite like having 'the best' to do that for you. I just wish I could do that at the long end of the spectrum, I really do...

The canon 24-70s seem to have sharpness issues at f2.8 where the nikon is as sharp as comparable primes at that same aperture. The 24-105IS also seems to be pretty sharp fully open as well. Yes these lenses are beasts but when paired with a magnesium body like the D300 they are really well...

Actually I still have both. My 20D has been permanently gifted to a friend who claimed to have wanted to take up photography more seriously but he seems to not have the fever =) glad I didnt give him my lenses too! On the Canon side I still have: 17-40F4L 28-75 F2.8 Tamron (the best value...

I'm there with ya. I now have two of my three dream lenses (zooms anyway). The problem is the third is.... $5000!!!!

Irfanview also supports Canon and Nikon Raw images.

Can't add much to the discussion on 40D vs. 50D. Both were such incremental upgrades to my 20D that I chose to give the body to a friend and moved to my Nikon D300 and don't ever see going back. Neither Nikon nor Canon are showing anything really interesting at PMA this week which is reallllly...
