Depending on the age of your current laptop, what you need is a good portable computer for college that is light given all the books you might be lugging around campus. You mother most likely recognizes this as a priority and is attempting to position you for entering college.
Having said that, then there is what you want. Depending on the sport, the demand for reach can vary significantly. You see a lot of 2-body rigs at events, the 70-200 on one and a 300/400 on the other. Personally, I would recommend the same as Russ, ask for the 300 2.8 non-IS to cut down on your mother's discretionary expenses and allow some of it to amass for upcoming college which by the way IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITY....Show more →
My laptop is pretty much a desktop, the battery doesn't charge so it needs to be plugged in. But 'm going to keep it and use it for exclusively editing photos and instead buy a chrome book for college. It's pretty much everything I need for college. It has a word processor, chrome, it's light, and it's great on a college budget.
I wish I could keep my 7D while I get a 1D III, but I'm looking to do a trade, 7D and cash or I'm trying to throw in a 430EX II for a 1D III. I did at one point have a 1D II and my 7D. It was great for sports because I borrowed a 300 f/4 from a friend and used it for soccer. I'm not exactly sure how I liked it though. It was too short sometimes and too long sometimes. Maybe it's just I wasn't used to switching between bodies. I only had it for about 3 games before I sold it because I didn't need it as much as cash at the time, but I loved the 1D series and the APS-H sensors.
As for cutting down on my mothers budget, she wouldn't be quite as sad for me getting it as my step dad as he is currently trying to convince my mom to let him get a new truck.
