Very useful advice Nicole. Thank you.
I'm good at foreplanning and troubleshooting, so I'm not too worried about that.
I have a 4GB CF card which allows me around 400 shots when shooting RAW. How many shots should I be prepared to take?
I am soon to purchase a flash unit as well. I have a Canon 400D. Any recomendations for the flash?
Also I realize this flash will shorten my battery life, so an extra battery needs to be added to my list. Anyone have any experience with 3rd party batteries?
