<p>So you can shoot teathered without a card maybe ?</p>

<p>I use a non OEM that I got from Amazon about 2 years ago for my 50D. It still works great.</p>

<p>I like Kelby training because of the wide array of courses that you can take for 1 monthly price. I 'm learning Lightroom, CS5, Photography and even McNally lighting from them. To me it is well worth the money.</p>

<p>I just bought the Black Rapids RS-7, it is a cross chest strap with pockets for storage. Great product.</p>

<p>I bought 2 of the Lastolite style softboxes off e-bay. They work great and are easy to use.</p>

<p>Wow, you guys nailed this one, I learned a ton on this post.</p>

<p>Try this.<br>

<p>I have 3 flashes, 2 soft boxes and an umbrella set up triggered by simple cheap cactus (e-bay) triggers.<br>

Even with all this stuff, I still find myself shooting with just 1 speedlite and softbox combination using a reflector for fill most of the time.<br>

For me, a cheap trigger and 4 way reflector is the way to go, that way you can always use the sun and window lite to the best advantage.</p>

<p>You can download the update for camera raw from the Adobe site mentioned above, also you can download a small plugin for Elements that allows layer masks. <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/qt/layermasktool.htm">http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/qt/layermasktool.htm</a> . This will give you a pretty good system for handling the 50D raw files without having to spend the money on CS4, which I have but rarely use.</p>

 

<p>I use the Lowepro for storage and traveling, but when I get where I'm going (usually woods) I move the equipment I want to carry to a Photographers Vest. I can wear it over a coat or jacket and it has plenty of room. <br>

I use a hand strap, but I have a snap on neck strap that I also carry.</p>

<p>I use refillable Ink from MIS (<a href="http://www.inksupply.com">http://www.inksupply.com</a> ) in my R2880 and I've never had a problem. I get good profiles using the spyder system. I use a continuous ink system for my R280 that also comes from MIS. Some people claim that they cause clogging, but I also try to print every week to keep the heads clean. I'm not sure how much I save, but it is alot.</p>

<p>Hmmm, I'm Sorry, I didn't realize that you had to have a prior install. I guess you learn something new every day.</p>

If you wish, you can download all the current software from Canon's web site for free.

<p>Joe, I checked out your web site...Loved it.</p>

<p>I'd like to hear more about the DNG noise problem, I've been converting on import for awhile now and haven't noticed the problem.</p>

<p>I bought an additional set from ebay, and have had the same results as the batteries that came with my 50D. No difference even though they were packaged and marked different.</p>

<p>It made a difference on my 50D</p>
