If any of you SOB's make recommendations for things we absolutely need for
our new hobby, you will be promoted to GD SOB's.

Don't even let her hear about the SB800
(http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/sb800.htmflash) or the new 18-200mm lens
with autofocus and vibration reduction
(http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18200.htm).

You *don't* absolutely need either of these. But she'll be happier if you
give them to her!

Don't forget good quality polarizing filters for each lens, so she can
remove the glare from water and photograph the fish that you can never
seem to catch. Tiffen filters are a good choice, and quite expensive:

She will also need about $500 bucks worth of memory cards for starters.
Women don't like to delete anything.

Actually, I'd go get her an external 160GB hard drive on which to store
pictures. Not doing so would be an indication of cheapness and miserliness.

We use our cameras to take pictures of our boats. We even take pictures of
our fish. Some folks even take great pictures (using a macro lens) of their
lures. I'd tell you where all these pictures are, but you have to ask
nicely.

I am glad she doesn't read this NG. I purchased a 2 GB card, and have
showed her how to delete the card as soon as she downloads it into the
computer. I make a back up on a disk, and save a copy online. So she gets
one 2GB and that is it.

I purchased Photoshop because everyone told me that is the software I
needed. I saw where I could try out PaintShop for free and then for $90
upgrade the software. I found I prefer Paintshop for most pictures.

I am sure as she starts to play around with the artsy fartsy kind of pics,
she will want to use Photoshop, but damn for 1/5 the money, Corel Paintshop
is one hell of a program.

Sorry, Richard, but you are not a *******. Now if she reads this, you just
might be.

You should be sending these recommendations directly to Smithers wife.

JohnH,

The flash will be a Christmas present, I was wondering if I needed the
SB-600 or SB-800, it seems this guy recommends the 600 for most people.

As far at the 18-200mm Zoom Lens with Nikon's Extra Low Dispersion (ED)
glass, Silent Wave Motor technology (SWM), and Enhanced Vibration... All I
have to say is:

YOU GD *******.

She will have to get by with Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom
Lens (Black) and the Nikon 55-200mm zoom and a tripod.

JohnH, I really think someone is going to have to try hard to out *******
you.
