Build a Kit, Trendell

I would like to be a travel photographer. I selected lightweight/smaller cameras and lenses with good zoom, but not ridiculously large. The bags I chose are comfortable and made specifically for travel. The rain cover and solar power charger will be useful for a travel photographer. An Apple iPad with a keyboard add-on will serve the same purpose as a computer, but take up less space. I also added cellular data for the iPad because I'll most likely want to look at photos in places without WiFi.
