However - including the peli-type case this is about 20-25 lbs, almost as much cash as a raft, and can be a real pain in the ass. I no longer sell my pictures and I have been selling my gear and replacing it with far cheaper, smaller and more portable stuff so my photography doesn't get in the way of my adventures. If i was going to stay with a DSLR I would get a 18-200mm type lens for most uses. Personally I eventually found that I wasn't taking my camera with me because it was expensive, not waterproof, bulky and heavy - and I missed out on a lot of great photos because of those limitations.

A body & lens (without battery grip or extra lenses) can fit in a pretty small peli, and now you can get a body (50D) & an 18-200 for less than $1150 new.
No need for the second mortgage these days!!
