Over the last couple of years, being a Nikon Nut (I currently have a D300), I've found lots of useful resources on the web. In addition I bought most of my equipment from either Teds Camera Sore in Brisbane, KEH in the States who sell very good quality second-hand gear and are well respected, or from Ebay. My tips for Ebay are always look at feedback, I never buy anything from someone with less than 10 ratings, and always use Paypal so if anything goes wrong at least there's some protection. In saying this I've bought and sold over 300 items and only had one did not arrive (which I got back $300 of $400 spent from Paypal) and one fraudulent buyer which was an inconvenience more than anything

What's in my camera bag ? Look to the right.
