Hi Folks, First post so please be gentle as they say. I (along with a day a job in sales) do a bit feature journalism and use a D5100 which I find perfectly acceptable as my shots are never used more than A5 size in magazines, an upgrade might be considered in the future (but not for a couple of years at least) but at the moment I'm still happy using it... so couple of questions
Firstly is anyone using a cheap generic wi-fi card successfully in this camera, cant really justify a genuine eye-fi card when I can just connect a lead. just thought if it works for 20 quid then great! .
Secondly battery grips I can get one for around £30 (I'm U.K based) from amazon are they worth it? I often take landscape shots in portrait (due to magazine requirements) so think this would help this due to the extra button and Youtube suggests it will also help with hand holding larger lenses. in addition slightly tongue in cheek, I know its an old camera and quite small, it might add a bit of gravitas to the camera in the eyes of the general public that I may interview in connection with the writing I do.
Any thoughts and comments please
I upgraded to this camera for around £100! second hand a couple of years (its got a really low shutter count) and gave my very old D50 to my son and we often go out taking photos together.
