Decent because Im a bit tight on budget but then it should be suitable for night photography, I can wait for a while and buy a suitable one - btw, how much power do you need for night photography. thanks.

If there is any form of light source, or the sky then you'll find the bonnet will show an outline where it was open for a while during the shot. I find the best way to get around this is find a nice big open area, set the tripod up so it's nice and high and then compose the shot. The easiest way to do this is to compose with the bonnet up, so you can see where it is in relation to any light sources and the sky when setting up. The noise reduction I am referring to is always an in camera feature, it basically removes any sensor noise that occurs on long exposures. This is only really needed when shooting higher ISOs. Strobing is literally pressing the "test" button on a flashgun on manual mode. If you're in the market for a flashgun be careful about which one you buy. There are plenty of good cheap used ones on ebay, but a lot of them have no manual control. You need manual control of the flashfun at the very least. HTH Hey Bhargav,
