Backup Raw or Jpegs?
I wouldnt store onhard drives. I have seen too many hard drives break (own computer business for 3yrs) and if they do its sometimes hard to get the files back. Backup to disk and put them somewhere safe. I actually backup to disk and make another copy of the disk as a master and store it.

Backup Raw or Jpegs?
all good points re Raw being the negative equivalent i guess and more amenable for future tweaking. Looks like external hard drive is the way to go with DVD back up for offsite storage at my sis-in-law. thanks all :)

Backup Raw or Jpegs?
That's exactly what I do, I didn't mention the off site storage as I have mentioned that in another thread on this forum. I use my hard drives; main computer, 2 externals, and dvds of each shoot. Sounds alot but when you do it for a living you can't afford anything going wrong. With the dvds, ...

Backup Raw or Jpegs?
Keep your RAW files. It's like keeping your negatives. Keep your JPEGs too. Upgrade the drive in your PC and get a big external backup dive too. I wouldnt store onhard drives. I have seen too many hard drives break (own computer business for 3yrs) and if they do its sometimes hard to get the file...

Backup Raw or Jpegs?
Never delete the RAW files - keep them either on a separate drive or a duplicate DVDs. I keep mine on DVDs and just a set of JPGs on the PC but can link back if required. I will get a NAS drive soon too - but wiring the house network, 60 ports and 1km of cable has to be finished first!

What lighting for Macro
I've been down this path. A very good diffuser as Don advocates will work for many situations for insects in the field. However, there will be times when this really doesn't work. For this reason I've gone down the route of the AF160FC ringflash and haven't looked back. It's is extremely convenient ...

Mag articles like this really annoy me
Nothing like a bit of good humoured healthy debate :D Never seen three pages filled so quickly:wink::lol: The new forum format filled a few pages pretty darn quick as I recall :mrgreen:. Sadly some of those members never adapted and haven't been back - I'm sure some of them would have enjoyed this d...

Nikon's legacy lense compatibility is at at least as good as Pentax's. I wasn't going to join in this thread but I have to take issue with that one; take a 1970's vintage pre-AI Nikkor lens (in fact, go the whole hog and take the 105/2.8 - one of the most sublime portrait lenses ever made bar none...

Mag articles like this really annoy me
All publications and their editors are slaves to and at the bidding of their advertisers. That is a fact and it really should not be a surprise that in any side by side test the company that spends most on advertising will get the best review. It really is just a case of job preservation and how c...

sports pics - no flash
Stefan, thanks for the advise, i will try the av mode next time. Its graet to get helpful advive. On the focus mode i found the fixed autofocus better than the continuesly variable focus. In terms of focus point i the centre point rather than area autofocus, do you think theese are the best combinat...

Battery life on a K20D
I got my K20D back in November charged my battery up. Them picked up a battery grip 2 weeks later and charged up that battery. I just now got a low battery indicator on the screen. I must say I am very please with how long you can go with 2 batteries on the K20D.

Battery life on a K20D
You obviously don't use your camera as much as me and most of the time I don't use auto focus. I am lucky if my batteries last me 2 weeks. They are relatively new as I buy new rechargables every 6 months. I have always had battery grips for both my K10 and K20. I use the cameras more or les...

Battery life on a K20D
I use it 1 or 2 times a week. With flash sometimes. Most of the time Landscape. What I do do is turn off the camera after I take a shot or 2. Sometimes auto focus on sometimes off. I never review my photos till I get home. Remove the SD card and upload them to PC. Not viewing them comes fro...

Cheap K-m at PC World!
Looks like the same model as SRS have for 175 quid more although I hope PC World's description is slightly wrong: Closest Focusing Distance - 303 m :shock: I've heard of back focusing but that is a bit much. :lol:

Cheap K-m at PC World!
I just checked this offer out instore at my local Curry's superstore and unfortunately I think they ruin an attractive deal by putting plastic mount lenses on it. The 50-200mm in the offer is NOT the same as the one priced normally at £150-175 with a metal mount There have been interminable complai...

AP First Look at K7
Strange that it doesn't carry over into computers. I rarely ever buy AP now because they exclusively use Apple Macs whilst I and 95% of their readers use PC's, so a tutorial on a Mac is of absolutely no use to me. Strange thing was that when they looked for the Best Raw Converter a few years back, T...

AP First Look at K7
You weren't trying to sell magazines though. Hasselblad has been the default choice camera for magazines since it first appeared, but it rarely gets featured in AP. Now digitals here I doubt if any magazines use 10M pixel cameras, but the photographic magazines still feature them. If they aren't ...

AP First Look at K7
A pro photographer friend of my brothers (can't claim to know him directly unfortunately!) uses an Oly E3 and Hasselblad with digital back. He also uses this bizarre camera that takes 360 degree pics in one shot (can't remember the name of it) that he uses for hotel and travel guide websites. ...
