Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I would get a simple haze filter!. They're only about ten dollars but they protect your lens!.

also, get a good lens cleaner!. You'll be glad you have something other than a Kleenex!.

Get a tripod!. You can get a decent collapsible one for around $20!. It won't be the sturdiest one, but you'll appreciate it!.


Eventually you'll want to venture into the realm of new lenses, better tripods, shutter release cables, flash units, et cetera!. But for now a simple haze filter, a lens cleaner and a tripod should serve you well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You will probably be offered a choice of kit lenses with any DSLR you choose!.There are no necessary add ons,it all depends what you photograph!.A natural history fan may need a longer focal length lens,whereas for close up work,a macro lens!. or low light work lights are often needed Tripods hold your camera still for telephoto and macro work,but the types differ according to your useage,they do slow you down and make you think more carefully,but are heavy if you are on the move!.The whole point of a DSLR is that it will grow with you as you gain in experience!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First, do NOT buy that Olympus! Yuck!. Get a Canon Xti!. Olympus makes inferior, pricey lenses - what little they carry!. Canon and Nikon make professional grade lenses!.

You need a DSLR (Canon Xti or a Nikon) and a lens!. ANY Canon lens (or any Nikkor lens for the Nikon)!. Plus a compact flash memory card and access to a computer that can read those cards!. That's all!. Everything else is "wants" and not "needs"!.

What will you WANT to have!? Well, that list can get pretty big pretty quick!. And pricey!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're just a beginner, all you really need is your camera!. Someone else might say you need this and that, but don't worry about it too much!. You'll discover as you gain more experience what equipment you'll need and how and when to use it!. Just get out there and keep shooting!. It will all come to you!. Trust me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The most important accessory is the owner's manual!. After that, a tripod!. A flash!. Perhaps a protective UV filter!. Maybe a class or some books on basic photography!. Feed your knowledge at first instead of the camera bag!. After some experience you will know better what lenses, filters, etc etc etc you need!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
