I've written it before, but the camera body is usually the last thing up need to upgrade. I'd say that's certainly true for a landscape shooter who has a D2x, D300, D3, or D700. My basic order of "upgrading" is:
+ P& w, y6 a: {) O/ Z, N! v. U Y2 L9 S1 K
1. Upgrade the photographer. Technique has the biggest and most observable impact on results. Want to be the Perlman of Pixels? Practice, practice, practice (studying at Julliard doesn't hurt, either).
4 s0 Q m: ^! e8 H6 l* k. h 2. Upgrade the support and shot discipline. You can't maximize what you get out of the pixels if the camera is shaking for any reason. Just having a tripod isn't enough; it has to work and you have to know how to make it work.& t5 q2 H3 a ^& n" {" q% E$ g/ W
3. Upgrade the lens. Having shot thousands of test charts--maybe more, but who's counting?--and examining the results very carefully, the difference between a bad lens and a good one is as night and day as shooting those charts with a good lens and a 6mp and 24mp camera.
8 J% L: l9 [' O/ x 4. Upgrade your understanding. Complaining about dynamic range of your current camera but not using UniWB? Oops. You may not actually know what the real dynamic range of your camera is. Ditto for sharpening, contrast, gamma, color, and noise. You're not ready for an upgrade to the camera until you've actually maximized your efforts on the current one. E4 ~) b! }% x! R4 j
5. Upgrade your camera. If you've hit the limits of all the above, then it may be time to find a better camera (but that requires that you know how to do #4 and have state of the art #2 and #3). Note that it also may mean you need to move up a format to get a large benefit (e.g. 4/3 to DX, DX to FX, FX to MF).& M& Z# b- N: I+ x w

; b' s( C/ d& a& e- | T, R1 ^Recommended Support Equipment
1 i& D! `2 i! ?. ]8 M2 ~/ s$ kI've tried a lot of different tripods, heads, plates, and other support gear. The ones listed here are the ones I use. Note that my support equipment gets tortured. First, it all gets stuffed into duffel bags for air travel--I've seen my bag fall out of planes in some countries. Second, once off the plane I'm usually headed into the wilds, which means that my support gear is subjected to the same things that scrape my arms and legs, that pile up mud in my shoes, and that I fall off of. Finally, I want my support gear ready, so it's usually strapped outside a pack where it whacks against rocks and trees, or here's the real abuse: tied to my bike rack while I ride the roughest of dirt single-tracks (try bouncing your gear up and down on a metal rack for awhile and see if it holds up). My gear has been dropped off small cliffs, been buried undersea by rogue waves, stuck onto lava rocks still hot from the middle earth, and more. To make it onto this list, you need to be Terminator tough:) q/ s: `% v- \- L# H+ K2 c1 x

Really Right Stuff BH-40 and BH-55 Both impeccably made, these heads do what you need them to. Just get the right one for what you're putting on top. For most of us serious folk, that's the BH-55. My original BH-55 was abused as much as any piece of equipment I own and put on enough air miles to qualify for premier status on multiple airlines. It still did the basic support job well, but was getting finicky with fine touch settings. When I sent it in for a cleaning, RRS didn't just clean it, they replaced most of the head, bringing it back to like new status.4 b# T3 w; d8 n+ T. q" `3 x( o
/ k. Q3 `7 C- gReally Right Stuff Ultimate-Pro Omni-Pivot Package It ain't cheap (US$795), but if you want to do multi-level panoramas quickly and easily, this is the fastest way to get there: buy the Ultimate-Pro package and a Gitzo with the leveling head. If you can't get your camera mounted and ready for sophisticated panos in a matter of seconds with those two products, someone hasn't shown you how to set things up (CPL-1 on the leveling base, level it, mount the rest of the package on the CPL-1 as illustrated by RRS, align the center of the lens to the center of the CPL-1 on the tripod, then move the MPR-CL II multi-purpose rail back until your lens is at its rear exit pupil point). I just timed myself setting up a pano in Utah: <30 seconds from the time I picked up the tripod--which didn't have the Ultimate-Pro mounted yet--until the time I started shooting my first shot.

/ p" G$ l9 l; r& p/ yGitzo GT2540 or GT2540LVL The "replacement" for the original Mountaineer. These new 6x models really are better than the original, in almost every way. This level of tripod is adequate for the up-to 70-200mm crowd. As you go beyond to the longer telephoto lenses, you really need something in the 35 series (e.g. any GT3540 model).. ]( d% _" U( c$ [, k
