I'm going for it. I'm going to get a 10D. Found one for $1299
(Cameras Source). Now I need all the accessories.

Compact Flash Memory. I'm looking at the Sandisk 1GB. Found one at
$189 (Price it 4 less). My understanding though is that it is too
slow and that the smaller 512 Ultra's are much faster. Anyone have
any experience with these. Is it better to have two 512 Ultras? Know
a good source for these? Two 512 ultras will be much more expensive
than the 1gb.

I'll need an extra battery and a damn 550EX flash ($299 Cameras
Source). Ouch. I have a 540EZ for my 1N but it won't work with the
digi.

The other things are cheap I think. USB transfer cable for downloads.
Eyecup extender to keep the screen clean.

Anyone think of anymore "must haves" and where to get them.

Thanks, Tim

Hi, Tim -

I made the mistake of buying the standard Sandisk 1 GB card. It is so 
slow as to be virtually useless in my Nikon D100 when in the RAW 
mode. I have two 512 Vikings that are very fast.
