Very helpful. I'm sorry I didn't comment earlier, since you wrote it for me, but I've been sick in bed with really bad food poisoning and intestinal bleeding. Stupid bacteria. I think I'll start saving up for a Canon Rebel XT. I can't wait! Hey Ben,

The D40X is giving the Canon 400D the run for their money. Hi Lotus Rapper: Nikon makes great camera and the D80 is a great camera — so is the D40X that was just launched a few weeks ago.

I like my camera's roasted in a sweet chili marinade. Wait, what? That has to be the tastiest camera I’ve ever seen?

Too bad because I have a pile of gear, and sorry to say to you, they're NIKON and PENTAX. I got bit by the photography bug in high school in the early 80s and haven't regretted it once. But it's all film gear, and if (big IF) I do end up buying a DSLR it'll likely be a Nikon D80 body and use all my existing lenses along with my F90X and FE2 bodies. The Pentax is an old LX body with three lenses remaining now from the original, much bigger system I had before the Nikon. But it's an amazing system camera that was way ahead of its time.

Grapes! :-) Stay tuned. Hi Ellecamino: Oh, I really don't know much about camcorders ... sorry. But ask me anything about photography anytime. Hi LotusRapper: I am impressed. You sure know a lot about photography. Guess you're a Canon user too. I'll get myself a prime lens or two someday but my priority is to get a decent lens to bridge my 17-40mm and 70-200mm. What pictures do you take? Are you still an active photographer? Hi Rachel: OK, I will snap out of it and do serious blogging about food! :-) Hi Rasa Malaysia: Just you wait ... take a few shots with a "L" lens and I bet you will want to own one too.

Good to know that you are back from your trip. Infact, kind of 'miss' you though suanne was in change! Well, now that you have a new 'changgih' toy, when are you going to start blogging about food instead of camera!!! I know you are pretty excited about it but am equally excited with news on your trip and food too. Cheers! Hi Ben! Good to know that you are back from your trip.

I totally agree, quality of lens and tripod/head can't be under-estimated. That 70-200/f2.8L is a great classic lens :-D Definitely a collector's item to hang on to. I see no fixed lenses. Are you preferential to zooms ? I have a Manfrotto 055 tripod with 115 and 229 heads, all bought in the 80's and they're still as solid as the day I bought it ! Thanks Ben.
