    Because I managed to get GST off. It all cost me under $6K:

    - 5D body

    - EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM

    - 580EX Mk II

     

    I wasn't really switching systems, my intention was to go FF (D3 too expensive) & that the above were all I really need for portraits (& maybe landscapes) since my D70 + 70-200mm VR I use more for the tele end. Will only upgrade the trusty old D70 once it konks out or the D3 becomes cheeep cheeep.

     

    Haven't got round to doing a proper shoot, just shots to get me used to the Canon system.

    My suggestions for sub $100 (portable) headphones:

     

     

    AKG K26P

    • More contemporary looks
    • Closed design (does not leak out sound)
    • Foldable/collapsible
    • Powerful bass for a small headphone (may be suitable for gaming)

    KOSS PortaPros

    • Bling retro looks
    • Open design (leaks out sound)
    • More balanced sound than the AKG (IMO) but still pretty punchy
    • Foldable (Ball like shape)

    Both don't need external amplification (good for portable DAP applications). I prefer the PortaPros in terms of SQ but the K26P has isolation which I find useful when you don't want to disturb people around you (library) or need isolation (public transport).

     

    Even cheaper KOSS SportaPro is just as good if you don't mind the open design & plasticky looks (so your kids might not appreciate them as gifts unless they only care for SQ!). Added advantage is the headband can be converted to behind the neck. Correct me if I'm wrong but the drivers on the SportaPro looks like they are very similar to the legendary KOSS KSC-35 clip-ons.

    Not to mention seats/chairs since standing the whole period would be taxing for some of us more 'senior' guys!

     

    Also, it might be nice to have a separate area for people to have their refreshments. This also enables people to chat in a separate area from the 'listening room'. Based on experience, noises from people talking can be distracting for those trying to listen to the equipment.
