I'm just curious to hear from some of you that have been in photography for awhile now. If you had photography experience, but were just getting started, what gear would you spend your $1500 on? Larger body cameras are preferred (xxD, etc). Type of photography is landscapes, portraits, and general photography. Used gear is ok too.

With $1500 you could buy a 60D and 15-85 IS USM and have change left over for happy hour. Or maybe a used S90 and a 3 day weekend in Vegas?
The above plus...get a grip, an extra battery or two, a few SD cards, a nice bag...and have eosfun

P.S. just kidding about the bird - the rest is golden.
P.P.S. watch out for tricksey hobbits - I think they still use Polaroid cameras.
I'm not asking about how to spend $1500 to add to what I already have I'm asking if you were starting over or just getting started and didn't have any gear, what would you buy with $1500.
If you don't want that, get a used 5D, some extra batteries, used 17-40, used 70-200 and a 50 1.8. Or a used 60D and sigma 30 1.4 and 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS
