Thanks Phil. I appreciate your straight honest answer.

I'm looking for another flash gun which will compliment my Yongnuo 568EX II and my Canon 430EX II. It will be used in the main for wedding photography. The YN686EX-RT looks a good bet but I own lots of rechargeable AA batteries so do I need yet another battery type in my bag? I've thought about...

Thanks Box Brownie. Its not really a business contract that I have more a favour to the woman who wants the photos for a web page, blog or something like that. Perhaps she will just have to put up with Tiff files because she can still alter them to a degree I think in PS.

I've been asked to supply some photos in the RAW format but I would like to alter some of them first, ie crop them exposure etc. I have taken the photos in RAW and J peg on my Canon camera, imported into Lightroom 5 and they have come in as CR2's. If I alter the images in Lightroom and export...

Thanks everyone. I've never heard of the Fuji shop, I will check it out. Thanks once again.

Okay thanks I'll have a look at utube.

Okay thanks, what do I need for tethered because I guess you are talking lots for wireless like most things.

Can I get the photographs I take in a studio with my 5D Mk3 to show straight up on a lap top? If so what do I need, cable wise etc?

I'm looking to buy a compact camera so that I can take it with me on my push bike. My 5D is too big and my Ixus 230HS is a bit fiddly to use and there is no fully manual facility. I'm thinking about the G16 but what do you think? I'm used to the Canon software so it probably makes sense to...

Thanks everyone and happy Christmas

Can anyone recommend a rain cover for my 5D Mk3 please. I have a got a cheap 'Fulat' one which came from ebay but the plastic is a bit stiff. I don't want to risk the camera in the rain. I would be using a Canon 70-200 2.8 or my 24-105 lens.

Ok thats great, thank you.

Best white material for a back drop? Would it be curtain lining, muslin or a poly cotton? Paper seems to be expensive.
