This lens is the best value out there. You may not be able to afford a big honking fancy zoom lens after you just bought your camera, but you can afford this one, and it takes GORGEOUS pictures.

Now that you have what you need to actually take pictures, you need some way to haul around all of your camera junk. OK, so you could probably get an ugly cheapo black camera bag somewhere else, but after getting a rock-star camera, why would you?

This is a MUST have for any digital photographer. This is your darkroom. Buy it, install it, and then go get some good actions! (I like the ones from www.ittybittyactions.com.)

And this is your other dream lens.

I like natural light. But sometimes there isn't any. Sad. So get a flash, why dontcha?

I don't like tripod either, but sometimes ya gotta have it, like when you're feeling all wiggly.
