A few months back, I got to use the Nikon SB-R200 speedlight to photograph with! It's amazing just being able to set the camera to commander and using it as an external flash! It's really small so it's easy to hold it off to the side to get good lighting on macro subjects. Here are a few pictures I with it and the Tamron 90mm macro lens.

I'm thinking about getting one of the flash units. The one I tried was part of the R1 micro flash kit.

The D800 (or D700x) will compete with the 5D mk II. It will be a D700 with the 24mp D3x sensor and maybe video!

I don't like backpacks! They're to hard trying to get things out of! I want to get the Think Tank Rotation 360. The Driver's license does sound nice though! Do you have your permit yet?

Yep! Is there a way to make it so one doesn't even half to click the quickreply? Then it would be even quicker.
