Accessories you have to buy for your dSLR
I will focus now on things specific to dSLR cameras. If you are buying one, it usually means that you are not absolute beginner, but since price (and size) of those photo cameras is dropping with every year, in order to provide best information, I will write some things that you might already know.
Interesting thing about serious dSLR equipment is that at the end, the camera body is the cheapest part. While, this is not always true, it says how important are other parts of your system.
I will write about lenses in some other article, because this is a subject that deserves at least one separate article.
Flashes are another subject, too.
1) If you don't like the size and price of
battery grips
, you should at least have one backup battery (which should always be charged).2) buy yourself serious photo bag. Choose your style: big, small, backpack or not, but choose from good and reputable manufacturer
. I also suggest to have one big backpack for all your equipment and one small bag just for your camera with one or two lenses. 3) With digital photography shooting more is no longer expensive. Well, you do have to buy that memory card once, but after that it is free. In case you shot a lot of pictures and travel a lot, you might consider buying photobank
.4) you should have at least one tripod. Based on your shooting style, you might use it occasionally or daily. In case you like mountain hiking, consider buying some lightweight and stable tripod
5) use UV filters on your lenses - this way you will protect them from scratches
6) you can also buy polarizer filters and some other like star-effect filers. Polarizers are very useful and I recommend having at least one and using it on more lenses with step-up rings
