Much appreciated guys.

Evening y'all. I'm doing a project looking at digital archiving for imaging, and I was wondering if you fine people could help me out. If you could spend a minute telling me how you ensure you keep those wonderful snaps you all take to show your grandchildren, I would appreciate it very...

Agreed! When I hit south america I had a 28mm as my widest - REALLY regret not even taking a cheapo 18-55efs thing just for some of the things you'll see (especially if you go to eduardo avaroa park in Bolivia!)

Final cut pro. A decent microphone is a MUST, a mixer if you can afford. Decent tripod. Shoulder rig. Look into magic lantern. It all depends on how much you have to spend.
