 | Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-135mm AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens
Buy new: $769.00 / Used from: $665.00 Great camera that lives up to the hype. Easy to use once you spend some time with it. The Autofocus is speedy and crisp. Now that I've gained some experience I am using the Scene modes and this has helped - sports shots, portraits, night shots, etc.

 | Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens
Buy new: $639.95 / Used from: $565.00 I just got this and it is terrific. Definitely worth the hype. I do not use my kit lens anymore (18-135mm). In fact, if I had to do it all over again, I would have purchased the D80 body only and then this lens.

 | Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $325.00 / Used from: $330.00 Very good flash that helps shooting indoors. Also strong enough to act as a good fill-flash outdoors. You'll quickly find the built-in flash doesn't do the job in all settings.

 | Nikon D80 Digital Field Guide by David D. Busch
Buy new: $13.59 / Used from: $10.55 Extremely useful if you are a beginner. I waited for several months before this book came out and got it as soon as it was available. It has lots of useful tips.

 | Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition) by Bryan Peterson
Buy new: $17.13 / Used from: $12.45 Solid photography primer no matter what kind of gear you use. Lots of pictures and clearly labeled.

 | Lowepro Rezo 120 AW Camera Bag
Buy new: $34.95 / Used from: $31.95 A good starter bag. I really like the "reverse entry" feature - it makes getting your camera out much easier. If you begin to accumulate several lenses you'll probably want to upgrade to a larger bag eventually. This one handles my D80, the SB-800 flash and, sometimes, my camcorder just fine (but it is a tight fit).

 | Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter
Buy new: $9.10 / Used from: $4.40 I keep it on my lens all the time to protect against scratches. I honestly can't tell if it has helped the picture quality, but it has not hurt.
|
 | Tiffen 67mm Circular Polarizer
Buy new: $36.50 / Used from: $28.72 I use a circular polarizer while shooting outside on sunny days. It makes the colors more vibrant.

 | SanDisk SDSDH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card (Retail Package)
Buy new: $8.34 / Used from: $7.25 I have two of these - one in the camera and one in the bag. I shoot on Fine quality and Large file size. At those settings I get 160-170 pix per card.
