Re: Sunday, May 28, 2006
Excellent choices, for the most part. I'm curious to know how you like the 18-200. I'd be concerned about sharpness and color fidelity issues with that kind of a superzoom. I probably would have chosen a shorter zoom that's sharper - something like the 28-135IS (which is a fantastic general lens, albeit a bit on the long side for the 1.6 crop factor) coupled with a wide fast prime to give you more range (budget permitting), or even the 18-55 kit lens. For the flash, Rayovac has a line of 15-minute rechargeable batteries that last a long time and are very convenient (and fast enough that you still have time to charge them before you leave the house when you forget to do so the night before). Consider getting an additional lesser flash (430EX or equivalent) - the Canon wireless flash system is very flexible, and you can do some very interesting side lighting by turning off the main body flash (which would be your 580EX) and using it as just a wireless controller for a remote flash head. This is also very useful if you're doing any sort of macro photography and don't want to shell out for a ring flash (the lens obscures the flash on the main body when you're that close).
