$200 photo christmas present?

[Jax1023]

My DH has offered to buy me $200 dollars of camera equipment of my choosing for Christmas.

My current setupt is- Canon t1i, 18-55, 55-250, 50 f/1.8, and tokina 11-16. As well as a crumpler 6mdh to carry it all.

We are headed to WDW in February.

I am thinking a travel tripod and remote shutter release. I have a really crappy tripod my dad owned in the 1970s which he gave me. But its dirty, missing a foot cover and weights about 20 pounds.

Good idea or any other suggestions? Thanks!

Sounds like a great idea unless you need editing software (like Photoshop elements).

If your plan is to shoot the fireworks at WDW then I would recommend the travel tripod and remote.

Go with a tripod... And don't go with a cheap one... I would look at one that is in the $125-$150 range... I used to use a cheap tripod, and then someone pointed out to me that I am putting my $1500 camera on a $20 tripod... Didn't quite make sense to me that I am putting all my trust into this thing, so I went and bought a really nice Manfrotto... It has been so much better to shoot with... A lot lighter too since it comes with it's own travel bag... The remote is a great idea too...
