Odds and Ends
Nikon D200 camera and 18-200 5.6 DX lens
"The best camera is the one you have"
This is a nice little outfit that I take in the canoe or throw in the backpack while hiking. It is small, light, and covers a wide range. There are tradeoffs, the lens is slow and the camera is not so great in low light so it is really for sunshine shoots. Distortion with this zoom is pretty bad as well. But the alternative is usually no camera at all. If the worst does happen I will not feel as bad watching this sink to the bottom of the lake as I will with the D3 . I've actually taken a number of really nice images with this.
Remote Control
Nikon D2x and 12-24 4.0 DX
The D2x is long in the tooth but very rugged. With the wide angle zoom it makes a good unit to strap to the car hood or clamp to an airplane strut for remote or time delay shots .
