Hey Guys, Sorry I haven't been back earlier. I have been busy over the weekend. I will reply 'properly' here soon :) In the mean time: Thank you to Sonolta for your suggestions mate. gave a few a shot. I will have a look into what Mastroalex has suggested. A quick update: Second body does it but not...

Hey Guys, I have really appreciated the advice I have been given so far on the forum. Just wanted to see what you thought of this. I have already sent one A700 back after only two uses. The problem? The worst focus and the softest photos I have ever seen. I was not impressed. The manager of the came...

^^^^ Thanks again David and I appreciate your honesty. :wink: It looks like the A900 is off the shopping list at the moment.

I have had a look at the forum a few times so I decided to join up to learn a little more. To be honest, after re...

Which Flashes should I get? I want to purchase two off camera flashes for use in automotive pictures. Then move onto three eventually. I would like to control them wirelessly and obviuosly off a slave unit. (kind of like a pocket wizard set up) Does Sony offer anything like this? The other option, a...
