[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 186324, member: 12257"] My main concern is if it would handle the multiple flash type scenario in a mini-studio type of setting or even to help remove shadows in outdoor shooting. From response here and in another flash specific thread, it sounds like it will with the SB-700, so I'm calming down now. ;) That's exactly how I've been tackling it. My first lens purchase was the 70-300 VR that will attach to any upgrade I make in the future, and the flash I purchase will be too. After a lot of consideration, I'll be squirreling away for the SB-700. Actually, I'll differ with ya a bit in this area. If two people are shooting point and click (auto mode), sometimes quality differences will be visible between different cameras, but put folks who know what they're doing behind just about any camera, then apply a little knowledgeable editing/post-processing afterward, and there's where the difference shines through. I think the equipment will let someone with in-depth knowledge expand on their ability, but I know some folks with the [I]eye for shooting[/I] and nothing more than an iPhone that could blow away some rookies, quality wise, with a D600. Granted, I wouldn't want to try and set up a portrait business with the iPhone, as experience behind the equipment, along with the desire and passion to learn the art, will always prove to be superior. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming hopelessly for a multi-flash set-up with my current equipment, and it seems I should be more than able to bolster my upgrade fund. With a renewed confidence, I enrolled for my next class, which will teach me the basics of window light portraiture, studio lighting and detachable flashes, so it looks like the next purchase is going to be a flash. THEN... a prime lens for portraits. :) Thanks to all for the comments! If you have tips/experience with specific multi-flash setups for the D3100 that will carry forward, let me know!! [/QUOTE]
