So, I finally broke down from my old first gen Digital Rebel and bought a 40D with the standard lens it comes with (they didn't just have the body). the 70-200 L USM IS 4.0, 1.4 extender (shoot sports sometimes), the 580ex II Flash (with off shoe cord), and the extended grip. I love what it has done thus far and look forward to really using it to its full extent. The 8 gig card I bought stores about 1000 photos at Large with Raw also photos.

Any other ideas on what i need next? I really want to get a Canon 24-70mm L Zoom Lens f/2.8-f/22. Still have my 28-300 Sigma lens (which isn't that great but is nice to have) and the wireless remote.
