I think the best thing you can do would be to keep saving. Even if you sell your camera, $600 won’t buy you a decent professional camera.

Also if you are going to be doing weddings, you will need a second camera anyways. The A230 would be a nice backup.

Photography Softbox Kit

What gear should I get next?

My birthday is in the end of this month, and my parents are wanting to know what I want, but I honestly don’t know what I need!

Happy Birthday! :^)

You might want some wireless triggers for that flash (I recommend RF602′s). Maybe another flash? YN560′s are good.

If you want a wider lens, then what about the Sigma 10-20mm – great for landscape and more ‘interesting’ portrait work.

Or a dedicated macro (though this is less needed as you get good results with your reversing setup).

Photography Lighting?

So, I have been searching for a good continuous softbox light. Some of them I notice have 4 light sockets in them. What exactly to you call those? Wondering if you can buy them separate instead of having to buy them with a light kit. Thanks.

Something like this?

Search google for 4 socket video light or four socket continuous light. Lots of options with and without lighting kit.
