This is Nikon D800.  It is priced at $3,000.  It will take me 1 1/2 months of saving to buy this amazing work of art.  But unfortunately, It requires lots of friends as well.  Lots of expensive friends that is. 



Meet Nikkor f/2.8 24-70mm zoom lens, conveniently priced at $1,900.  So $4,900 is the least amount of money I can possibly spend if I were to make a switch to D800.

This is Nikkor 14-24mm zoom lens.  24-70 will take care of my basic needs.  I will take this lens with me when people ask me to take pictures of their baby or something, but 14-24 will allow me to take more creative pictures, like my landscape pictures that people love so much.  ($2,000)

And a light shed would be nice, so that I can have my own studio... $80
And a macro lens (to take pictures of small things)... $1,000
And one more flash... $546
70-200mm lens... $2,300
Fisheye lens... $600
Nikon D7000 as a Travel camera, since I don't want to get mugged in Mongolia... $1,300
Sigma 10-20mm lens and Tamron 28-75: 500 + 500 = $1,000
And a new tripod... $200
Filters, batteries, accessories... $200

What is that, roughly around $14,000 ~ $15,000?


So basically, I would have to save up for almost a year, just to buy some camera equipment.  The crazy part is, I'm tempted to do it.
