Alex, I agree with you 100%.
In spanish we have a saying that will translate to something like "Each thieve judges others from his own condition (of thieve)". Even when a couple of 550EX are not gear a pro would use in a studio, is more than a decent setup for an enthusiast that likes to setup "ministudios" for whatever reason (still-life, family portraits, etc...) We also agree that there're means to soften that light and even when they don't get up to the standards of professional studios, it's much better than the micro-flash output of a P&S (that's close to a punctual source of light, with all the dissadvantages it creates) > Are there other limitations of the system that I'm not aware of that are > influencing your opinions (limitations that would make it unsuitable even > for hobby purposes)? If so, please share them. Again, I'm not trying to > start a melee here; I just want to know what's going on. ^_^ > I think the main limitation would be your mind thinking that you need the bigger/(better?) gear to do your job. [side-note] As an alternative, you could participate in the flash contest running now in Practical Photography (UK) . A complete studio setup worth $$$$ is the big prize. Best regards, Gerard.
