Just ordered my 40D and STUFF!!

Kill me now. The "submit" button is going to haunt me forever.

Just ordered the following:

Today
Canon EOS 40D
BG-E2N Grip
POTN Remote w/25 cable (Don't tell me I don't support POTN, LOL)
POTN Neck Strap (Don't tell me I don't support POTN, LOL)
POTN Tripod Strap (Don't tell me I don't support POTN, LOL)
ThinkTank Monopod Case
4x Eneloop Batteries (as backup)
3x BP511 Batteries
BP511 Charger
E-1 Hand Strap

Yesterday:
Manfrotto 680B w/486RC2 Monopod

No new lenses for the new body? Sheesh!

I can't not now! lol. I do have a "compliment the 40D lens" list.

24-70L
100-400

Looking at those prices, I'm going to be hitting about 4 grand. Already this first round is about $1800.

In addition to that, the current lens I have is good enough...for now.

Once those two lens are in my inventory, it will be another list.

85 f/1.2
50 f/1.2

So yes, the submit button is going to slap my behind!

Where did you order the BG-E2N?? I've been trying to find it online and no one has it yet. I just orderd the 40D today from B&H!

www.17photo.com is the only place that had it, that I can find and people suggested.

Reputable on-line store from my understanding. I ordered the E-1 Strap there as well for B&H is on backorder.

that's a lot of batteries. the newest canon cameras are pretty darn good with power management. will you be out trekking for days at a time without access to an electrical outlet?

Yes, pretty much. I travel often and I will be out sometimes a couple days on a trek which I will not carry additional "chargers".

Today
Canon EOS 40D (GOT IT TODAY!)
BG-E2N Grip (GOT IT YESTERDAY)
POTN Remote w/25 cable (Don't tell me I don't support POTN, LOL)
POTN Neck Strap (Don't tell me I don't support POTN, LOL)
POTN Tripod Strap (Don't tell me I don't support POTN, LOL)
ThinkTank Monopod Case
4x Eneloop Batteries (as backup)
3x BP511 Batteries (GOT IT YESTERDAY)
BP511 Charger (GOT IT YESTERDAY)
E-1 Hand Strap (GOT IT YESTERDAY)

I was sweating too when I hit the submit button for my 40d....It's like someone choking you around the neck....oh wait that;s the camera strap!!!
LOL
And I didn't get all the extra stuff you did! I'll put that on a xmas list!!!

The christmas list will probably be the WIFI Grip/ 100-400mm / 24-70.
