 | Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $1,250.00 Unbelievable technical innovation from my old D70.
I don't feel the need for FX yet because I'm mostly shooting
close-up portrait.
This is the best DX DSLR with stunning AF and Metering...

 | Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens
Buy new: $1,454.94 / Used from: $1,400.00 In short, the very best standard zoom lens for entire lens brands.
Some say 24-70 is not adequate for DX but I think it suits my need better than 17-55.
You do not have to see the review...
If you have $1,600? just get it!!! Best bet for FX either...

 | Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,624.95 / Used from: $1,550.00 This is my favorite pro glass from Nikon!!!
Without it, I wouldn't be able to capture my daughter's ballet
performance (they do not allow Flash light for safety issue).
Crystal clear portrait with gorgeous.. bokeh
Took three months to get mine ($1,600) but worth the long wait.

 | Nikon SB-400 AF Speedlight for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $99.95 / Used from: $89.89 As Ken Rockwell said,
This is the most often used flash I have.
Versatile (small and light weight) and cheap !!!
My kids do not get scared with this flash :)
Just enough light source for in-door (house) shooting with bounce capability.

 | Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $172.95 My second Nikon flash light for more demanding situation.
Still SB400 is my favorite but sometimes,
When you're using near 70mm zoom lens,
When you have a high ceiling,
When it is pretty dark...
You would need this!!!

 | Pentax K20D 14.6MP Digital SLR Camera with Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL II Lens
Buy new: $819.98 / Used from: $1,120.71 Pentax!!!
Even though I have the best DX body (Nikon D300),
Sometimes I'm feeling like I'm handling machine not a camera...
Nikon D300 is such a killing machine but lack of nostalgic emotion...
That's the reason why I got Pentax K20d.
It has a horrible in-door AF performance and metering is not as "correct" as Nikon but still has a feeling that I'm holding camera. Not a machine gun :)

 | Pentax 16-45mm f/4.0 SMC PDA ED AL Zoom Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $275.99 / Used from: $247.00 Very light weight and F4 constant aperture.
Also cheap !!!
I was planning to buy Pentax DA * 16-50 but QC problem held
my neck... I will definitely get that star lens any time soon.
|
 | Pentax Smcp-Fa 50MM F/1.4 Lens + Accessory Kit
Buy new: $221.95 Attractive price compare to the other brands...( canon or nikon)
not as good as I expected but what would I expect more for $199? This one will definitely go away once DA * 55mm 1.4 is released...
|
 | Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP A/M 1:1 Macro Lens for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $458.50 Famous cheap performance macro lens.
Fairly good for portrait too.
With $90 rebate, you should get this...
