 | Canon EOS 400D Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Buy used from: £299.99 400D, good body for a starter, superceeded by the 450D now but still a good body amd capable of excellent results
|
 | Sigma AF18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Optical Stabilizer Lens for Selected Canon Digital SLR Only
Buy new: £287.99 / Used from: £255.00 Great lens to get started with, very flexible zoom range, I tend to use this as my "walkabout" lens. Solid construction and the plus point of image stabilisation.
|
 | Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens
Buy new: £81.02 / Used from: £72.99 Cheap as chips, probably can't get better value than this. F1.8 max aperture lets in loads of light so great for indoors, also get some nice DOF effects
|
 | SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash 2GB Memory Card
Buy new: £18.63 / Used from: £12.00 Quality cards, mine also came with some file rescue software. Haven't needed to use that yet tho' :-) No point going for the Extreme IV, as the 400d isn't quick enough to take advantage.
|
 | Kingston Technology 4GB CompactFlash (CF) Card Ultimate 100x
Another quality card manufacturer, and speed rated in line with the 400d's capabilities
|
 | Tamron AF 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 Canon
Buy new: £112.00 / Used from: £95.00 Only just bought this, not used it yet. Wanted the extra zoom reach.
|
 | Hoya 72mm Pro1 Digital UV Filter
Buy new: £35.70 Always on my Sigma lens as a protector.
|
 | Hoya 52mm Skylight Filter
Buy new: £9.00 / Used from: £5.99 Always on my 50mm prime as a protector. I already had this from a previous lens from a film SLR.
|
 | Tamrac 5515 Adventure Zoom 5 Bag - Grey
Buy new: £18.84 Nice small case, will take the 400D with either zoom lens attached, plus cards and accessories. Good to take on a stroll. I'll probably get a Lowepro Slingshot when I get a bigger bag.
|
 | Canon RS-60E3 Remote switch (EOS 30/50 /50E/300/ 500/500N/ 3000/5000/ IX/IX7)
Buy new: £12.99 / Used from: £12.95 Very handy shutter release, can be used to keep the shutter open for long exposures. Advantage over the wireless release - you don't have to be in front of the camera to use this one....
|
 | Spudz SPBK20 10x10 Micro Fibre Lens Cloth In Pouch -Black
Buy new: £6.29 Great idea, good quality cloth in a handy pouch
|
 | Photoshop Elements 6 (PC)
Buy used from: £18.32 Allows you to make most of the adjustments you'd need to, and a fraction of the price of Photoshop CS.
|
 | Manfrotto 679B 3 Section Monopod - Black
Buy new: £34.50 Another recent addition, so not had chance to use yet. Quality brand, sturdy construction, should do a good job with the long lens when out walking
|
 | Lowepro Primus AW Back Pack - Arctic Blue
Buy new: £140.49 Usual Lowepro quality, excellent for taking on long walks, very comfortable to wear and you can get lots of non-camera gear in the various compartments, so you can pack your snacks and waterproofs
