Badmash I used flim SLR (Nikon F-80) until last year and something went wrong with the that camera's auto focus mechanism (due to careless handling) so this year I bought Nikon D70s digital SLR. Naturally my next camera will be Nikon D200 (Nikon D80 which was newly released just last month proved no improvement over all over D200). At one point I had 6 different lenses from 10mm super wide lens to 300mm super telephoto lens. (I never buy the crappy lens that comes along with the camera kit as a package) Now I have kept only 3 lenses. Now I use 24-70mm and 80-200 over 95% of the time which are Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 and Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 IF-ED. Both the lenses are very useful in low light situations because of the fact that both lenses offer a wide aperture of 2.8 throughout the zoom range. I use super wide Sigma 10-20mm f4 lens less than 5% of the time...so it doesnt see much action unless I want to do very wide landscape scenes or to distort someone else's faces or objects without ever resorting to Photoshop. I also use Nikon SB-600 Speedlight (Nikon introduced the term 'Speedlight' for flash)which can be used as both on-camera flash as well as off-camera wireless flash. It can also be used as multiple off-camera wireless flash up to 3 groups. I sometimes use this cheap 100$ Sunpak flash made by a Singaporean manufacturer only to fool my Nikon D70s into shooting at much higher flash sync speed than the highest limit imposed upon D70s. (500th of a secod is the limt set on D70s...I can shoot at over 800th of a second with Sunpack flash). I also use Zling 20 gigabyte card reader and storage device which is slightly larger than iPOD in physical size and weight. So it basically allows me download pics from my CF cards once they are full while I'm on the road which means I can continously shoot about 1600 picture files in RAW format with are typically 5 megabyte in size. I dont shoot in JPEG format anymore. RAW retains much more detail and color accuracy than JPEG in addition it takes a lot less time and effort to edit RAW format files with far greater color accuracy and image detail. I convert them to JPEG as the final step of editing. There are all sorts of things that I have not mentioned like UV filters, polarizers, tripods, big camera bags, pouches, softwares.
