How do you like it?  What lenses do you have for it?  I'm starting to find that even at $1500, the camera is one of the cheaper investments in the hobby.


I love it so far....pretty amazing camera. Too many things to list really.
I only have one lens, the  Canon EFS 18-55mm ( equivalent to a  28-90mm)  bundled with it.

This weekend I'm going to try to get a nice 300mm lens, and some filters. Later I'll pick up  a wide angle lens.

I'm so cryptic.

For $100k they should give you a small JAPANESE to drive the car and lug the damn thing.

Welcome to the club, Nuke!!
Yes, I have the 20D. The Canon 300mm F/4.0L IS I highly recommend for Airshows.
That kit lens you got you'll retire soon. It's not that good.
Highly recommended(depending on what you shoot):
70-200mm F/2.8L IS
24-70mm F/2.8L
85mm F/1.8
50mm F/1.4
17-40mm F/4.0L
70-200mm F/4.0L
400mm F/5.6L

I'm looking to get Canon's new 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 USM for my super wide angle needs. Just waiting for the reviews/test results.

For compact flash, get Sandisk's Ultra II series. Best performance for the buck (2GB for about $185.00). Shoot in RAW as that will give you best image results. I really recommend you get Photoshop CS.

I recommend you get the battery grip as well. You can shoot all day without changing your batteries.

If doing a lot of indoor shooting, invest in an external flash unit.

Heck, this is probably making your head spin. I'll stop now. :D

For the printer, Canon's i9900 is hard to beat.

I knew right away that NUKE's new toy was a camera when he so pointedly failed to post a picture of it! He hasn't figured it out yet.

You do it like this...



No, I didn't have a second camera.

I bought this a few weeks ago. 4 megapixels, takes good pics ^ and even movies with sound. It needs to be this small to fit my girly hand. I still think I look too manly, and should have shaved my arm before doing this pic.

Mmmm, digital keeps getting better and better.  I'm still having fun with my Nikon 995 and 775.  Too lazy and cheap to go back to all the heavy expensive stuff.  But glad you guys are staying with state of the art -- great to see your pics.
