Apart from the usual spare batteries, CF cards, I would recommend that you have a flash if it is an evening event.

good luck!


PS: If you dun mind, can share where and how much you paid for your cam?

If can, good to go onsite beforehand, take a few shots with WB bracketing, muck around with other settings, so that you'll know what's the best config before the event. (also good excuse to use the camera )
but if you take RAW then no need liao... muck around with software later

i think u can do a search on SB800/ Sb600..
this 2 flash issue had been discuss for quite sometime.

[ParkertR]
