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.
