Nikon D70 6.1 megapixels - battery life is stunning!
Nikon 18-70mm came with the camera
Tamron 28-300mm 1:3.5-6.3 (if I only want to take one lens out this is my favourite)
Tokina 80-400mm 1:4.5-5.6 ebay second hand as new
Nikon20mm 1:2.8 ebay SH as new
Nikon 50mm 1:1.4 ebay SH as new
Nikon 70-210 1:4-5.6 ebay SH as new
Flash unit Nikon SB600 ebay SH as new
All these lenses when used with a Nikon D70 are forming the image on a chip which is smaller than a 35mm film frame and so up the telephoto effect by a factor of about 1.5, so a 50mm lens becomes the same as a 75mm on a film camera. The 80-400 becomes 120-600!!
Use the biggest and fastest Compact Flash card you can afford. 1gig or 2gig Sandisk ultra or similar.
Pocket camera
Canon IXUS (Elph) 700 (7 mega pixels) great pictures and a good built in flash.
