I've got the 600 AF-SII and it's a beast. The first time I took it on a birding walk I spent the whole time thinking 'this is going to be on Ebay tonight.' but the pictures changed my mind. I...

ruchai - definitely the same CCD in D100, D70, D50 and D70's. Different image processing though. And I agree, the D50 makes very sweet images, with great noise and colour characteristics. If it...

I can recommend not buying anything with 'Transcend' written on it. I had a 20 gb card storage thing from them that worked for exactly one day. Then it would only work off mains without recharging,...

You can buy Monitor calibration equipment. I'm not sure my colour perception is up to that, though. I'm also not sure it's that important either because you get a feel for how a picture will print...

French Magazine: Photo
I've found this kind of hard to find in the UK lately, but you can definitely order it from good newsagents.
Lots and lots of photography in there, some of it very odd, some of it very ordinary...

That's enough to put me off buying any more Sigma. Nikon offer full worldwide warranty on all of their products, though I've heard of some problems US users have had with Nikon USA and grey imports....

Batch processing JPGs
I have hundreds of JPGs that are a little underexposed. Nothing I can't correct, but it's laborious and repetitive. My SB800's tend to 'drop off' under heavy work (I push them much harder than the...
