I thought about posting this guide here as a reference to users who are not aware of back button focusing, I knew about it from dpreview forums and never went back, so I think it's my turn to tell others about it.

Looking for a new camera as you head back to class? Take a look at our Back to School Pick this year, the sleek Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9. It's a stylish point-and-shoot loaded with premium features that won't break the bank.
The Cyber-shot WX9 is a good performer in the low light conditions that are typically challenging for compact point-and-shoot cameras. Using on-board flash isn't always ideal, and the WX9's backside-illuminated CMOS sensor is optimized to help create better images in dim conditions ...

I�ve got a D80 that has served me well but, lately, I�m getting lots of dust on the sensor. I know how to clean it well. I got a Copper Hill kit (which I quite like) and can get the sensor perfectly free of dust. But a few days after each cleaning, more dust appears.
Some more details: It�s a D80 I�ve had for 4 years, since new. I�ve babied it. An 18-135 mm lens most of the time. Sometimes I�ll use a 70-300 VR. I used to shoot more outdoors but, now that I have a kid, it�s more indoors and ... Sensor dust keeps coming back. Any tips? It's driving me crazy.

My introduction to photography was interrupted due to a work related trip but I am now back. In the meantime I have prurchased two lenses, a Tokina 12 - 24mm and a Tamron 28 - 78mm 2.8, both second hand.
I would appreciate CC for the photos submited and would like to hear from the members that advised and guided me at the start of my journey about 5 weeks ago.

If you've been here over that last week, you know that we love ring flashes. In fact we love them so much we made one :)
While we have featured many many strobe based ring flashes, there is one thing they can not do. Shoot video. This is where you would have to go to a continuous light ring lights.
They have a very flattering quality of light. It just because they are usually so big. If an average strobe ring flash is 40 cm across, you can easily build an 8 or 12 bulbs ring light which is a meter ...

The article below was written by a friend of mine in the New England market. He has asked to remain anonymous, so we will respect that and only say that he is a damn fine photographer, and this story of determination against a client that had much more means, is a terrific read.
Before we jump into that, I want to plug the workshops. Best workshops ever this year. We study light from a “subject centric” approach and really delve into setups, why modifiers work differently on different subjects and ...

Hello, I'm very satisfied of my canon 550D that I've been using for about ten months, but now I've the opportunity to sell it and buy with the money obtained from the selling of the 550D an used canon 50D.
Do you think that it's worthy to sell the 550D in order to have a 50D, or the image quality is quite the same.
As I can see looking to the 50D features I would lose the possibility to take movies (but I've a new canon SX130 IS canon that I could use to take movies...) but I will have a fastest shutter ... Please advice: "back" from 550D to 50D?

Hi guys ... can you help?
I use a Pentax K200D and am staying with a Pentax System . However I want a light back up camera .... pocketable ... and I had been thinking of a Canon G12 / G11 but the guy in Devoncameras asked me to look at the Nex range.
Well I hadn't like the look of them on line but in the flesh they were a VERY different thing. The lenses seemed beautifully made. I really like the screen and with a 16mm lens on they looked like a very nice carry around camera.
In other words I dont ... Sony Nex 3/5 Advice please ... as a back up compared to G12

Nice to be back in Japan. Such a cool place and so utterly different to the usual places I have been to really.

The real fun will be in Kyoto on Wednesday when I will get to shoot with the camera. ...

Hi,I am a pro photographer into weddings & interiors. For weddings I have the D700 with the 24-70 lens.The images are great but weddings in my part of the world go on for 12 to 14 hours and I find the weight of the lens to be heavy. I also thinking of going for the Quantum Q-flash which will add more weight to the rig.Is there any similar lighter lens with comparable quality that I can go for?I also need a backup for the D700, any suggestions. I thought of another D700, but this will be replaced ... Alternative to 24-70 Lens and back up camera Please advise
