A lot of new people in this section asking what camera or lens to get, so it might be interesting to show us what kit we're all using.
So, show us camera body and lenses, flashes/lighting and accessories and finally stick an example shot (your favourite) in so we can see what stuff you're shooting:
My current kit:
Sony Alpha 350 DSLR
Minolta Dynax 40 film SLR
Minolta 50mm f1.7 AF RS
Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical

Tamron 28-200mm f3.8-5.6
Sigma DL 100-300mm

7D is the only way to go, short of a 1D-something.

Well mixed bag for me
Canon 500d
Canon 3.5 70-300mm kit lens
Canon 1.8 50mm
Sigma 17-70mm 2.8
Sigma 10-20mm 3.5
Mixture of UV filters to protect them along with an ND 8 for 17-70mm and another for the 10-20mm. About to invest in a half decent grad kit with adapters
Cheap n light Hama tripod but does the job so long as wind isn't too high
And a bargain Lowe pro bag to drop the camera and spare lens and filters in.
Using LR3 and photoshop to tweak stuff. I just don't seem to get the best time to get out with the camera due to work shifts and family life as I'd like so I have to make do.
