Buy new: $1,456.95
I am a party photographer for www.nv-ua.com, and that is the lens of choice ... as it has f2,8 the whole zoom range, it is great in manual mode, combined with ETTL flash mode, as the exposure does not change. Highly recommended!

I guess it makes no sense to look for european Cameras on the American market ... I own a Canon EOS 400D, but it seems pretty close

I had bad experience in combining this non-Olympus flash with the camera ... performance was average ... I suggest to combine rather with the Olympus flash (I learned it with my Canon flash and I could not be more happy)

Buy new: $41.81
Decent monopod, just my EOS 1D with tele lens is giving it a little bit of hard time due to the quick releases (they wear out and slide with heavier load).

It is big and heavy, but it is definitely for you if you have a big car, live on the ground floor and go a lot on locations, as everything will fit in from SLR with tele lenses to your notebook. And you can lash a heavy tripod on top. Rolling in the city, hiking in the rough. The concept is still good :)
