I did the same a switched between the 5300 and the 7200. I decided i probbaly won't use the extra features.... Im now looking at swapping to a 7200. If you think you will use the extra features then buy one now

Sounds a lot find your local camera club and see if they recommend someone. I paid a lot less for my lessons

Hi I also have a d50 , it cannot use a sdhc card. You may go d some 2gb cards are also sdhc so make sure you get a normal as card.

I've not done this type of photography but I would use either manual mode changing the speed until I get the effect I want otherwise us the apature mode to let the camera pick the speed

There is a link I used before to check compatibility https://www.nikonians.org/reviews/nikon-slr-camera-and-lens-compatibility

I've tried that ( or similar) but got board plus it's not the same as portrates either. But I get your point

These pics are crap I know but were used to show the noise.

I've found it to be useful as it's something completely different, Yes the environment is not ideal for getting perfect pictures, but I find it good experience. Simple things like seeing what others do do with lights (if they do anything at all), what they ask the models to do and there...

Thats what I thought but 'needed' to hear it from someone else :)

I am listening [emoji3] Yes I'm there are usually 2 softboxes in use which I'm using to set the exposure. Sometimes a studio flash which helps when I get my hands on the trigger . Most people are also only using the continuous lighting while a few use there built in flashes. What I'm trying...

This is a established club, though they don't call them selves a club. They do have and use pro lighting but there not always set up with a studio flash depending on what they have setup/planned. As I'm starting out this spent bother me too much as I'm concentrating more on focus/exposure than...

Ok so the level of noise is due to the camera rather than me doing anything wrong (apart from having a high iso)? Would a newer camera have less noise at the same Is?

Because it's a group of us (5+) shooting at the same time with set lighting. If I have a longer exposure I usually either catch someone's flash pushing off the exposure or the models move.

I've been doing more in studio photos as part of a club I've joined. However this means I'm shooting more at 1600 ISO than anything else. Which as you expect comes with more noise, however I wonder if the amount of noise is due to something I (not) doing or just to be expected? any suggestions...

Cheers finally worked that out. Cheers
