    Thanks Guy's After a bit more searching it looks like I can increase the shutter speed by using the SB600 and setting the camera to Auto FP High Speed Sync. I didnt realise about the limitations of the camera's sync speed. Thanks again Barry

    Downloading to USB Memory sticks

    Hi all I just wondered if anyone has tried connecting a usb memory stick to a Nikon camera eg a D50 and down loading the pics. I think you would need a male micro usb and female usb adaptor. I think you could use it in the same way as down loading direct to a printer ! Any thoughts ? Barry
