This is the current dSLR I carry in my camera bag. Hoping to upgrade it within a years time to...
Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Buy new: $2,699.00 / Used from: $2,298.00
This is the camera I'm wanting. It's full frame which is the main reason I want it, and it's a third or less of the price of the 1Ds Mk III and contains the new Digic IV processor. The MSRP is $2699.99 so if you buy one, don't pay more than that unless they include a lens.

Buy new: $200.00 / Used from: $146.00
This is the other lens I own other than the kit lens. This lens gives a pretty nice picture but it doesn't have the IS so it takes some steady holding to get a good shot handheld. Also it's pretty slow.
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR CamerasCanon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,239.00 / Used from: $1,140.00
This will probably be my next major purchase before getting a 5D Mk II. This is a superior all around lens to my 18-55mm kit lens (which is the old type without even the IS). I considered setting my sites on a 5D Mk II package deal with the 24-105, but with a max aperature of f/4 it doesn't give you the superior speed that this lens does with a max f/2.8 aperature.
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR CamerasCanon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,694.98 / Used from: $1,695.00
The superior speed of this lens, with its f/2.8 aperture throughout the full range of the lens, makes this my first choice over the f/4 version. Also, this is the version with the IS which face it, you can use all the help you can get when trying to handhold a lens at that length. This is definitely one I plan to purchase.
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom LensCanon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens
Buy new: $1,399.00
Another eventual purchase. This lens provides a nice fast wide angel option.
Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR CamerasCanon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,610.00 / Used from: $1,349.00
Nice lens to cover at least from 200-400mm. I wish it was faster but it's still the best quality Canon zoom in this focal range. Also it has the IS. This would be a later purchase for me.

Great deal for a bag and an extra battery. Haven't ever used the filter.
Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR CamerasCanon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $391.95 / Used from: $370.00
Purchased this flash within the past month so I haven't had much of a chance to use it. What I have done with it shows it to be a pretty impressive bit of kit.

Remote shutter release. Helpful gadget.

An eventual purchase after getting the 5D Mk II.

Buy new: $100.99
This seems like a fast high capacity card to go along with my future 5D Mk II. I'd pick up a couple of them though since the 5D Mk II RAW files are around 20 to 25mb each.

Just a microfiber cloth I picked up for cleaning lenses and screens. Good to have on hand.
