Knuckledragger Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I second the LowePro recommendation. I use one of their ginormous backpacks, as well as several lens cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oogabooga Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well I ended up spending more time with the various canon and nikon models at the local Ritz Camera yesterday. Decided to go with the D90, the price @ Ritz wasn't very good so I just ordered the following from Amazon: D90 Body Nikon 18-200mm Nikon 50mm SB-600 w/ diffuser I don't currently have a camera bag big enough for all that so I'd like some suggestions for a relatively cheap bag. Congrats. That looks like a nice kit - my friend uses the 18-200 and she loves it. I've got an SB-600 with my D300 and it's perfect - the "remote commander" is nice for off-camera flash. I'm a bit late to this thread, but I'm a Nikon user who would have recommended you get "whichever camera system you friends use the most often, so you can share lenses, etc". Tamrac makes a nice *backpack* that will fit all that along with a laptop, if you want to travel with all of it. The Official Tamrac Homepage - The leading manufacturer and distributor of camera, photography and camcorder bags I'd recommend a backpack or something with space to hold your lunch, etc, for day-long shooting trips. You can kinda holster a tripod on the side, shoving the legs into the water bottle pouch. It was about $90 CAD, for me. Not cheap, but not as much as the Lowepro Computrekker that I had to upgrade to when I got more glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Todd, I'll look through my stuff and see if I can find my domke bag. I'm not using it, so if I can find it I'll send it to you. It needs the padded pockets, but it's a nice little bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpie Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm a bit late to the party (very late?), but I'm surprised nobody suggested the Sony A700?! The high iso performance is quite similar to Canon / Nikon, dpreview updated their review using the new firmware. Agreed, it doesn't have fancy live view but since it's been out there for a while, it's quite a bargain! Plus, you came from a Sony a100, so I think you had some lenses already? Sony has some really nice (Zeiss or old school Minolta) lenses, plus it has image stabilisation for all lenses since the camera has in-body stabilisation. Anyways, you bought the D90 already. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, it's a great camera! PS: any nice Sony / Minolta lenses you need to sell?? :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
