Digital BW, The Print

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

Nice price, $200 less than B&H in New York.
I imagine you have shopped there before and where satisfied ?
Or have you tried a Google search with the name of the store + the 
word "Review".
Let us know how your purchase went.
Cheers
Andre

I have not shopped there before. Found them on a Pricescan search. 
Fingers crossed.

I will try that. Thanks for the tip.

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.

I'm going to wait for the newly announced Oly E-1 as I have no 
"legacy" Canon lenses to use, but the Canon 10D is a fine 
choice. I'm sure you can get much useful info on this list, 
however I suggest you also might look in at a dpreview.com 
forum devoted to the topic "Canon SLR Talk" (digital, of course). 
You have to register to post there, but it will be an excellent 
source of info on dealer reliablity and accessories, etc.

I don't know specifically about the Sandisk 1 gb card you 
mentioned, but beware that Sandisk has frequently been among 
the very slowest CF cards of the bunch in head-to-head testing of 
speed.

Also beware camera dealers offering hard-to-believe lowball 
prices on cameras in short supply (as I think the 10D still is). 
The dpreview forum will probably be able to give you feedback on 
that.

Phil
