I enjoyed the previous thread on the lenses we own so thought this might be a good idea as well.

Listing of stuff that are considered good value for money (not necessarily cheap)

I'll start:

Canon 50mm f1.8 lens (cheap lens, but razor sharp images)

Transcend flash card: Recent bought 2x8GB cards for R382 each. x133 speeds - perfect for my 400D

How many times do I have to tell people it is razor and tack sharp! :p

My eyes are not what they used to be. What is this blurry image of? Is it a 3D photo?
:p
 
Another cool must have is an external usb card reader... I use the Transcend one which fits nicely in my camera bag (Rezo AW 170).

I should add that for Nikon shooters, the 18-200mm VR is pretty good from the shots I've seen and reviews out there.

You'll have to post the full-rez version before every-one believes you.
Full rez? What else can it be but a tack and a razor? :p

I'll try uploading it when I get picasa installed. ;)
 
If you had a Canon, I would tell you to go buy the 50mm f1.8. You won't be sorry ... google and see if there is something like that for Nikon.

Nikon 50mm f 1.8 D - Like all things Nikon, it's more expensive than the equivalent Canon, but its still pretty cheap for what you get.

I won't skimp on glass but I am looking for a nice cheapish Telephoto type lense just to get started.

Then your only real option as far as new lenses go is the Sigma 70-300mm APO. If you had a Canon body, I would have sold you mine for a good price.
