the products are cheap enough and buying from them is easy i bought a 1Ds mk111 from them a year ago and it arrived very quickly and all ok however it failed and had to be sent back (to hong kong i imagine) it took weeks to get a replacement and the phone lines never worked not good when you...

i spent many a year as a pro muso and we never took bookings for weddings as so many get canceled or ruined usually at very short notice

i would say that the websites aren't trying to sell to togs so our opinion is not valid for me its about total control of your work and if that means using models etc then so be it restaurants have pics of food that never looks like the stuff on your plate ( Mac D's!!!) car manufacturers...

i look on a RAW file as i used to the negative and as such treat it with kid gloves i will always have it to go back to at any time should a client or publication want that pic i can produce the image to their specs and requirements without risking the image in any way a RAW image produces a...

RAW all the time no contest
