This setup is totally awesome for taking pics of your cat.


Now seriously, it looks like you're not really sure what it's all for. But I guess you can always sell the stuff you won't end up using.

One photo is not sufficient, and in no way qualifies in spending 6 months salary on photo gear.

I think the problem here is that the question is poor. What can someone answer to that? You haven't said the budget and you haven't said your needs or requirements or reasons for choosing what you have chosen and so on. Do you want a careful review of a dozen or more items there?

It's a big list. That kind of thing is going to get either the "fuck you" in some form or "sounds okay" response. I'd go with the latter, but is that helpful for you in any way? I know nothing about you or your circumstance. It's hard to give advice on what you are asking. I don't see any obvious problems. I could maybe nit pick here and there if you want?

IMO, it was an exaggeration, but whatever.

I'm not asking for your judgment on whether or not you think I deserve the gear, but thank you for your concern.

My apologies, you are right. I am shooting mostly portraits and landscapes. I'm upgrading because I've used the same camera (an XT) for three years and the 40D has nice features, like 14bit A/D conversion, better viewfinder, screen, and solid body.

Basically, I'm asking for input on what can be improved (ex you can get a better tripod for less) or something else.

That's a severely unimportant detail, being that having lots of gear doesn't equal having lots of skill or opportunity.
