I don't show a lot of herps anymore but I have some good rig for my concert shoots and have put 15,000 clicks on my DSLR's since March of 06.



This is what I pack to a shoot.



Nikon D200

Nikon D70

3 8Gb 150xSpeed Compact Flash Memory

70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor

18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor

50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor

70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO Sigma

20mm F1.8 EX DG Sigma



I don't use a flash. I would like a better macro lense.

I think that the plastic body of the D70 may make it

more fragile but don't want to test that theory.



Stay away from "hard drive" based memory cards and try to get the fastest memory that you can or your camera buffer may swamp taking multiple frames at high speed. Get a camera with as big an onboard memory buffer possible if this will be done alot.



The D200 is in fact a Cadillac. Built rugged as a tank, large enough to not feel small in your hands.
