Here's another good place to buy used and new equipment. I've used them many times. Their used equipment is always better than their ratings.

I am really leaning towards buying a Lytro for festivals I attend. Way easier than hauling around the DSLR.

https://www.lytro.com/camera

Of course, in it's current state does not come close to DSLR stuff, but it's very cool technology. Maybe wait for another incarnation first though.

Anything by Kelby is a must have. He does a great job of expaining things. I have the book he put together for Light Room.

Does Nikon or Tamron make a 100-300 or a 100-400? I may be better suited with a 100+ since I already have up to 105 with my 18-105.
