Thanks Frantisek. I'll keep looking. In the meantime, did you take a look at the other setup that I mentioned, which is not hot? Take a look here: http://tinyurl.com/2urz2 This looks like it could handle much of what she is planning on selling, without a huge expense. rg Frantisek Vlcek

Sorry I'm late to this thread. Work's been crazy and I'm a day or so behind on the digests. I concur that I wouldn't go with hot lights. The one thing I haven't seen in the threads (up to where I've read so far) is what your friend is shooting. If it's primarily small items like jewelry or

I believe that same kit is in the BH Photo catalog for $199. It is basically a portrait setup. If she is selling clothing it may be just what she needs. It would not be the best setup for small products. -- Gonz wrote: A friend of mine is upgrading her photo setup for ebay sales in response to

JB The slave flash seem to work with a digital camera like my Sony F717 - but JB for slow speeds only - from app. 1/2 second and above! So it's no good for JB digital portraits or things like that. For stills, it's fine, though (long JB shutter speeds). Someone here might care to explain this

More ... Slow slave response is a problem with some digitals. I wish Pentax' ps cameras had a shoe or sync connector to allow a proper sync with an external flash. Bummer. Right now the Nikon 5000/5200/5700 have been going pretty cheap. Nice outfits and very practical for this purpose. Collin

Thanks Graywolf and all others who have responded. It sounds like those continous setups are a PIA and too hot. Yes, in fact she is selling clothing, and that's one thing that prompted her to try to move from her current setup, which is an inexpensive PS digital, I don't know what
