Moving on from our recent update to include flashguns into our tracking list, we are now looking in enhancing the sample photos search capability.

When you are browsing in a body or a flash‘s page, we will not be able to get the same  comprehensive search filters like what we can get when browsing in a lens‘s page. (See screen-shot below)

Unfortunately, in this phase, we are rushing out to provide the fundamental support for flashes first minus the search filtering feature but there’s no worry about that. We are already started thinking about it even before we release this very upgrade.

Joseph Lim:

if can filter the photo of each lens by camera body (ala pixel-peeper.com) would be a welcomed feature too.

Also, we will be looking into something much more powerful where you can define your own search criteria rather than being restricted to a specific body or a lens when browsing for sample photos.

For instance, you can do something like…. “If I pick this body Canon 500D and a Canon 15mm fisheye lens, what kind of photos will I get?“. And you can keep refining your search criteria like aperture, focal and such.

Thanks for those who have given their feedback to us. Keep ‘em comin!

Hi! Do you plan to include external flashes in your database? Would do a great deal of help if you guys do!

We are very delighted to inform that we are now serving flashes in our listing as well now! After days of careful planning and development, luckily there are just a few technical tweaks needed to be done. Thanks Foo and many more for your valuable suggestions!

Fully compatible with the latest Nikon digital and film SLR cameras, the SB-600 AF Speedlight is positioned to be the mid range flash in the Speedlight line-up. The flash features i-TTL control as part of the new Creative Lighting System (CLS), being introduced with the D2H digital SLR camera.

The new i-TTL system supports Advanced Wireless Lighting and versatile functions for up to four groups of Speedlights, with 3 remote i-TTL speedlight groups controlled through the master SB-800 or with the “Commander” function on the D70s, D70, and D200 cameras. i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control employs Nikon’s Advanced Data Communication system to introduce an improved method for the monitor pre-flash and wireless operation that marks an evolution in higher precision over Nikon’s acclaimed D-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control system and forms the core of the new Creative Lighting System.
