I was just thinking of what I really need in photography and what a want are two very different things.
What I need:
1-A camera that will have 10MGP minimun with RAW capabilities. My G-9 is a good choice.
2- A lens or 2 that will go from 24mm to 200
3- A good light weight tripod with ball head under $250.00 (I think to pay $500.00 for a tripod is insanity.)
4- A flash that will work cardless from the camera
5- A computer with lots of RAM and 1Tb HD with 2EHD's 500GB ea. minimum
6- A 20" Monitor as minimum size best if 24"
7- Adobe Elements 7 or CS3 or CS4 and Lightroom 2
8-Nik Silver Plug in for B+W conversions and a good Noice Reduction Program
9-Topaz, Portrait Professional and one HDR saftware
10- A monitor Calibration Software
11- Two sets of Cathys Profiles for my two favorites photo papers
12- An Epson or HP Pro Printer to print 11x14 images (my favorite size is 11x11)
13- A Bamboo Tablet
Anything else?
