 | Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only)
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $499.00 I purchased the D80 body only first thinking I was going to borrow a friend's arsenal of Nikkor lenses. Lens compatiblity played a huge part of my decision, although I did like the lesser weight of the D40x.

 | Nikon 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF Autofocus VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
Buy new: $479.00 / Used from: $375.00 A great walk around lens. It's VR and takes remarkably sharp photos. I like the mid range, because it gives me a good reason to pick up a wide angle lens next!

 | Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye Nikkor Lens
Buy new: $586.94 / Used from: $520.00 A great lens when you want some effect or a different perspective for your portfolio or events shoot. The CA will always be questionable but other than that if you want to go super duper wide, this is the lens for you.

 | Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $109.99 / Used from: $105.97 By far my favorite lens. Very sharp photos and great for landscapes and portraits. I love using this lens in low light, it captures the natural essence of a photo. While there is a 1.4 the price does not justify the purchase (yet).

 | Nikon MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack for the Nikon D80 & D90 Digital SLR Camera
Buy new: $139.89 For portrait shots and extra battery life. A must have!
|
 | Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $339.99 / Used from: $319.00 Nikon's flagship flash. A SB-600 would work for most but if you really want the best get this one.

 | Tamrac 5273 Expedition 3 SLR Photo Backpack (Black)
Buy new: $56.95 / Used from: $45.00 The backpack may seem small at first but can really pack a lot of punch. My DSLR and all my lens fit snug. Trust me you want that. Everything is secure and safe when traveling. It's waterproof and highly durable. Lots of accessories available as well. The only fall back is that you want to travel with a light weight tripod or monopod.

 | The Digital Photography Book by Scott Kelby
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $14.02 Scott Kelby really let's you know how to take better photographs. While this shouldn't be the first book you read about photography, it is still a must have in your library. You must know some basics about photography to really apply his advice but his recommendations are the same ones he shares with the pros.

 | Sunpak Ezee Pod Floor-Standing Monopod
Buy new: $32.14 A great monopod. While tripods aren't allowed in gardens, museums and churches, monopods are! Weird huh?
|
 | Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card (SDSDH-4096, BULK Static Pack, No Reader)
Buy new: $12.87 Probably the only one you'll need. It holds more than 500 at full resolution.
|
 | IR Remote Control for Nikon D80 D70 D70s D50 N65 ML-L3
Buy used from: $29.99 Amazing remote. A must have for sharp photos.
