Im sure it will be some guy that already has all that gear that wins. Usually happens that way.

It's weird that there is no photography involved.

why? Not like you need to submit a film to enter the contest to win the TV setup...it's just a promo to get folks looking at camera gear on Amazon...geeze, did not know there would be a debate over a dream package for the winner.

Uh, a debate? I just wondered why a photographic related contest doesn't involve photography.

Don't get your panties in a wad, Francis.
