    Upgrade to the 7000? Good deal?

    So I have a D5100 that I've become fond of, with the exeption of all the nicer, easier to use features of the 7000. I have an opportunity through Adorama to trade in my 5100 with kit lens and Tamron 70-300 for "somewhere between 7-800". I just want the body of the 7000 and they say that they...

    best diffuser for SB-400?

    Looking for a simple diffuser for the SB-400. I know it's not the best flash, but I just haven't had time or funding to upgrade yet. Is there something out there I should take a look at? I've searched Amazon but everything seems like it's made for higher end flashes. I don't need anything...

    How to disable email notification for subscribed threads?

    There doesn't seem to be an option for this. I'm getting WAY too many emails about threads that I've subscribed to that others have responded to. I can take care of that myself either through my phone's TapaTalk app or logging in on a machine. Is there a way to do this? I find it funny that...

    So I tried to photograph raindrops today and I found out that the camera doesn't support high speed flash? I'm using an SB400 and it could only go up to 1/200th of a second which I thought was kind of weak. Is there any way to freeze motion with a flash on this camera? It's something I've not...

    Picked up a battery grip...wondering if it's worth it.

    So after much (little) thinking, I decided to order a battery grip for my 5100. I got one from some strange Chinese kind of Amazon, or so it appears. (I used paypal, so I assume it'll be alright. Definitely monitoring my accounts though because you never know!) It got good reviews, wondering...

    Camera feeling a bit too small? Try this mod.

    Recently during an extended wedding shoot I was doing for fun, my fingertips started getting numb in a weird way. I passed it off as some kind of strange disease related to my bad habit of smoking. But, recently at a car show, the same thing occurred. I borrowed my friend's D90 for a few days...
