The little sb500 flash works great as a commander unit, all the settings done on camera so can just put these in a remote flash bank. Plus it's a handy little flash to keep in pocket it bag.

After some advice on memory cards, I'm lucky enough to be getting a d500 for Christmas so have ordered a xqd card - Lexar. I plan to have raw pics and video go to this card and would like to use the sd slot for jpg backup pics. My question is will my existing sd cards - prob about 80mb/s speed...

Have used Philips ones from toolstation for a couple of years as replacements for standard BC bulbs, all fine about a fiver each. Recently got the packs of 5 from screwfix for just a tenner or so to replace remaining lights and some outside. These seem just as good and 3 year guarantee so would...

they had the same or very similar rules for the 2012 games - there was lots of checking but no-one showed any interest in camera stuff - over different days I took a small tripod (for night shots) and a largish 80-200/2.8 lens without problems.
