Off camera" flash opens the door to many creative lighting setups.

I have worked with radio-controlled or IR controlled flash firing and have found it an exciting way to work.

I need to learn more about this way of controlling flash from the camera.

I rarely if ever work with flash, so this doesn't interest me.

Recent news reports indicate that photos on mobile phones are very vulnerable to "highjacking."

This will make me think twice about using a phone to make pictures.

I will still make pictures on my phone but will download them right away, so this doesn't bother me.

There are many more "mirrorless" type camera introductions than DSLRs these days.

There are advantages to the mirrorless design that are attractive and improvements over a DSLR system.

47% (50 votes)

I still prefer the DSLR viewing system as opposed to electronic or LCD viewfinders.

Affordability is important to me and DSLRs have gotten too expensive, so my next camera might be a mirrorless system.

I use fast lenses for low light work and when I want shallow depth of field.

I use high ISO settings and image stabilization, in lenses or in-camera, to enable low light shooting.

For me, it's a question of cost, and I know fast lenses are more expensive, so budget concerns dictate I use image stabilization

Briefly comment on why you make a specific choice on memory card speed and capacity (and for the latest updates on memory card tech check our Sept. 2011 issue).

What’s your choice on memory card capacity?

I use the biggest capacity I can so I don’t run out during a shoot.

I just shoot low res JPEGs, so any reasonable card capacity will do.

I like to keep it limited to a max 8GB and carry a few cards... just in case.

I own one and am happy with image quality and viewing experience.
