Yeah your about right... I did photography as a job for several years, so it was a business expense. I bought the Nikon D1x when it came out in 2001 and gave $5,400 (msrp was $6,000...you can verify here) and some change for just the body and $1,200+ for the 300 f/4 AFS ED IF.

I have sold all the Nikon stuff since and only shoot Canon now. As far as taking it fishing, well just keep the insurance paid up on it.

Here's my old Nikon D1x with a portrait lens
