Which would you buy for shooting everything from a lot of live bands/concerts, to nature, to portraits, to models, and everything in between? - NIKON AF-S 70-200MM F4 G ED VR - Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM - TAMRON 70-200MM SP 2.8 DI VC USD All are relatively the same price, all...

I recently made a couple of promo videos for someone using my Nikon D7000...but I'm curious how to get them into a more universal format that any player will play? Any feedback is appreciated :) J

I recently did some portraits for an acquaintance of her little girl, and sent them to her electronically (8 photos total), as I'm just starting doing portraits I charged next to no money. Habitually, I watermark any shots I put out there into the ether and always have. She just sent me a...

Currently I have two lenses for my D7000...a 50mm 1.8 and the standard 18-105mm. In your opinion, which is the better lens to use for portraits? Curious, as I want to start doing more portrait work...or is there an even better option (but like to work with what I have = saving for new lenses). J

Can anyone recommend a good tripod? I know that having a large DSLR like the D7000 creates weight issues with a tripod...and if you say throw a lens like a 70-200mm on it that amplifies even further. Can you recommend a good tri-pod that is say in the $150-300 (CDN/US) range...$300 at this...

Not having a lot of disposable cash at the moment and shooting a friends wedding this weekend...is this a good/decent tripod? http://www.blacks.ca/blacks/jump/product/32170/Manfrotto-MKC3-H01-Tripod-Blk/cat40015/Tripods/product.jsp?prdId=32170 I don't regularly use a tripod and have no clue...

Locally I can get the Nikon 50mm 1.8d for $149 CDN and the 1.8g for $249 CDN...is there really that big of a difference between the two lenses to warrant the extra $100 expenditure? I've read so many reviews that conflict, some say yes, a lot say no...so confused...oh, and it's for on a D7000...

I want to shoot with Card 1 as Raw and Card 2 as JPEG...I set the camera up so that it would do this and took a few shots. I plugged my D7000 into my Macbook, which automatically opens up iPhoto and transferred all of the photos it showed me on the camera. When done, they were all JPEG files...

I am currently about to make the jump from p/s to DSLR and want to buy a good all around camera. The price point of the D7000 is right around what I was thinking and I really like some of the features...like the dual cards, weather sealing, focus motor, low-light ability, etc. The main thing...
