Digital SLR

Yes. I bought a Digital SLR camera while on my Long Trip In Asia. I like it very much.

My Stuff

Camera

• Canon 350D / Digital Rebel XT, black

Lenses and Filters

• EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 (kit lens)
  • Canon 58mm Protect
  • Not a bad lens. This is the kit lens that comes with the Digital Rebel XT. It's moderately sharp through the entire range. f/3.5 at 18mm helps some. It doesn't feel too sturdy though; when zooming from 18mm to 24mm you hear the sound of something grinding against something else, which doesn't lend much confidence to the build quality.

• EF-S 17-85 IS USM f/4.0-5.6
  • EW-73B Lens Hood
  • Praktica 67mm UV-Protection
  • This is a nice, all-round walk-around lens. It has its limitations -- a bit of CA (when shooting up into trees), softness at 85mm, a bit slow at f/4.0. If you're ok with this, you'll get a great lens: 3-stop IS, and a zoom from 17 to 85 (28 to 135 35mm equivalent).

• EF 50mm f/1.8 II

• EF 35mm f/2
  • EW-65II Lens Hood
  • 52mm Hoya SMC UV filter
  • I love this lens. Light, pin-sharp and fast. Too bad it's not USM.

• EF 70-200 f/4L IS
  • ET-74 Lens Hood
  • 67mm B+W UV filter
  • I love this lens even more. Pin-sharp, 4-stop IS. So much fun. Not too heavy, either.
  • Now that I've gone L, I can't look back!

E-TTL Flash

• Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash
  • Stofen Omni Bounce OMEW for 430EX
  • Gary Fong Light Sphere? II Cloud

Storage

• 5 x Sandisk Ultra2 2GB CF
• Lexar Professional 1GB CF
• Sandisk 512 MB

Camera Bags

• Canon gadget bag
• Lowepro Off-Trail 1, black
• Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW
• Crumpler Seven Million Dollar Home

Tripods

• Manfrotto 714B
  • Small. Light. Suits me just fine.

Miscellaneous

• Canon RC1 remote control

Total spent on camera to-date: $5430. Boy, This Is Really Expensive!
