Since the DSLR craze hit the scene and we’ve jumped on board, we have used a lot of gear, cards, and batteries. Some have been bad, but most have been flawless. So, here is what we have found to work for us and our Canon 7D.

Compact Flash Card Reader:
ScanDisk Compact Flash Firewire Card Reader – It’s best to get a card reader that is the same as your cards, otherwise possible issues.

Canon LP-E6 – Stock Battery
