Thanks for any advice you can give.

It does after a point. Basically when the buffer fills up it will then start writing them to the card and take another picture once there is enough space in the buffer again. My 20d will take 7 pictures at 5fps before the buffer fills up and with a sandisk extreme III I can then take about 2fps after that as the camera processes and saves the images. Thats in RAW in jpeg you get a lot more pictures (something like 23 I think before the buffer fills up).
The other stuff I dont really know about, all my lenses have came with the offical canon hoods and i've never broken one so I havnt had to buy them. Lowe pro bags are highly rated but they arnt particularily cheap though. I just use a normal small rucsack and everything fits neatly into that, i've got so much gear it all keeps itself tightly packed. I can just about fit the 20d with battery grip and 300mm upright in the bag.
