So as we come to the end of the year, Scott Kelby posted his annual holiday gear guide so I thought I’d present mine. Like Scott, all of the items here are items I personally have used this year.

While the audience was primarily made up of Nikon users, I wasn’t the lone Canonista. I also learned some areas where Nikon Speedlights have advantages over Canon Speedlites.
