 | Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Black Body Only)
Buy new: $499.95 / Used from: $380.00 Suggest getting the camera body with no kit lens. The kit lens is decent, but some of the other lenses here would be better.

 | Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras
Buy new: $482.00 / Used from: $430.00 This is the zoom lens I have. I really like it. 300mm is a little short for birds, though. IS is "image stabilization", a highly recommended feature, although there is a non-IS version.

 | Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)
Buy new: $89.95 / Used from: $69.00 A really nifty bag, slings over your shoulder and accesses it from the front
|
 | Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $394.97 / Used from: $250.00 Retrospectively, I'd buy this lens instead of getting the kit lens. Comparable range, adds IS, this is a good buy
|
 | Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR Cameras
Buy new: $199.95 This is the flash I want. Don't bother with the 220, it's comparable to what's on the camera. Probably the camera flash is a great place to start, but this is cool :)

 | Kenko Teleplus PRO 300 DG AF 1.4x Teleconverter for Canon EOS
Buy new: $175.74 / Used from: $165.00 This teleconverter is attached to the lens and provides an additional 1.4x magnification with little reduction in quality (so they say, I'll let you know!) It would work with lenses on this list. Note that the Canon versions only work with their high-end 'L' lenses
|
 | Hoya 58UV 58mm UV Filter
Buy new: $8.45 / Used from: $3.33 Suggest getting one of these for each lens. Leave it on and it protects the lens. This one is '58mm' thread size, for 70-300 zoom lens. They make them in all sizes, get the size to match your lens
|
 | Canon NB-2LH Rechargeable Battery Pack for Digital Rebel XT/XTi, PowerShot S30/40/45/50/60/70/80, G7 & G9 Digital Cameras
Buy new: $38.92 / Used from: $21.44 Extra battery, never a bad thing to have. Although I never actually wanted one till I went to the zoo and used the flash a lot. Without the flash, a battery lasts for hours. I've heard that the generic brands are not as good.
