 | Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only)
Buy new: $1,059.95 / Used from: $575.00 Is my first D-SLR. Does everything I want it too (and I'm sure a few things I don't know about yet).

Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $639.88 Fantastic 'walk around' lens. 11 power zoom. Perfect for travelling, when you only want to carry one or two lenses.

 | Hoya 72mm DMC PRO1 Digital Multi-Coated UV (Ultra Violet) Filter.
Buy new: $79.35 I am one of the photographers that thinks you need a UV filter as protection for every lens. This is a good one.

 | Joby GP3 Gorillapod SLR-Zoom Flexible Tripod for Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $29.99 Sometimes you don't want to carry a full tripod. This supports up to 2 kg (more than most cameras)
|
 | Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)
Buy new: $86.95 / Used from: $74.99 Absolutely perfect bag. Allows quick access, lots of room for my camera and lens with hood attached. Plus room for a flash, a couple extra lenses, portable hard drive... and an extra pouch on top for putting a lunch or rain jacket.
|
 | Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $124.95 / Used from: $109.00 Very nice indoor lens (because it is very quick in low light). Much cheaper than the f/1.4D lens. Great for portraits. Don't pay more than 120 for this.
|
 | Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $218.00 / Used from: $190.00 Powerful enough for what I need.
|
 | Wolverine FlashPac/7160 160 GB Portable Digital Pictures and Data Storage
Shooting in RAW eats up a lot of memory. With this along you can shoot uninhibited. Works with only a plug adapter all over europe (110 - 240V).
|
 | Nikon 8072 Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
Buy new: $9.75 You definitely need a microfiber cloth to wipe off any stray dust or rain drops that might get on your lens.
|
 | Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs (Black)
Buy new: $160.00 / Used from: $143.95 Very nice tripod legs. Not light... but then again they are very steady.
|
 | Manfrotto 486RC2 Compact Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System
Buy new: $59.90 / Used from: $65.00 A fantastic ball head. Also has horizontal rotation, for all those panorama shots.
|
 | Camera Grip / Hand Strap (simulated leather) for SLR camera Nikon / Canon / Minolta / Fuji
I vastly prefer the handstrap to a neck strap. This is a personal choice, and up to the individual. This one attaches to the neck strap loop on the right of the camera, and screws into the bottom threaded tripod hole. A threaded hole on the handstrap allows attachement of tripod or baseplate.
|
 | Portable Apple MacBook Pro MA896LL/A 15-inch Notebook PC (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive)
Buy used from: $999.99 I am an Apple person. I love the reliability and power. I use this for work, as well as photography.
|
 | Apple Aperture 2.1.1
Buy new: $162.99 / Used from: $119.99 I use Aperture for editing my photos. Generally I don't do much 'photoshopping' of photos... I just crop, rotate and perhaps adjust exposure and saturation. Another option is the Adobe Suite of programs.
|
 | Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce for the Canon 580EX Flash
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.99 For the flash, a diffuser is great for giving a soft (and more diffuse) light.
