Buy new: $1,099.95 / Used from: $419.99 My first DSLR and I love it. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get great photos of their family, travelers, designers and just about anyone interested in digital photography. The kit lens is great.

|
![]() | Nikon SB-400 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $114.10 / Used from: $92.00 Excellent travel flash with flip up for bouncing off the ceiling. Not as many options for lighting control as the SB-600, but cheaper and smaller.
|
![]() | Energizer Ultimate L91BP-4 Lithium AA Battery 4 Pack
Buy new: $9.78 Until I can find a good high-performance rechargeable, I still use disposables for the SB-600 and SB-400.
|
![]() | Sto-Fen Gold Colored Omni-Bounce for the Nikon SB-600, Olympus FL-36, Panasonic DMW FL 360E, Sunpak PZ-42X
Buy new: $12.05 I actually recommend the white one if you can find it. This does a lot to help reduce the 'shock' of the flash in public settings.
|
![]() | Nikon 4765 SC-28 TTL 9-ft. Remote Cord
Buy new: $54.99 This is fantastic for perfecting lighting. Takes the flash further from your lens/subject.
|
![]() | Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $124.95 / Used from: $109.00 A fantastic portrait lens. However it has no AF (auto-focus).

|
![]() | Bower 72mm Macro Closeup Set (3)
Buy new: $17.99 The +4 filter is really the only one I use. Great for the little details. Works really well in concert with the 50mm portrait lens listed above.
|
![]() | Tiffen 52mm Circular Polarizer
Buy new: $35.95 This filter is handy for removing reflections in water and windows and can be used to enrich colors in photos. I don't use mine enough.
|
![]() | Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System
Buy new: $10.13 Handy, handy, handy! Felt cup for swiping smears and dusting brush.
|
![]() | Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Manual Air Blower with Extra-Large Rubber Bulb - 5.3" Long
Buy new: $12.95 Nothing's better at getting little flecks out of your camera body. The Giottos Rocket is best since it sets on a flat surface without trying to escape.
|
![]() | Nikon CF-D70 Semi Soft Case for D70 Digital SLR with 18-70mm Nikkor Lens
Buy new: $36.99 / Used from: $33.00 Really it's for the D70 but it's great for photographers who don't always travel with a dedicated camera bag (ie: tossed in to a backpack).
|
![]() | OP/TECH 37012 Pro Loop Strap for Camera Equipment (Black)
Buy new: $16.24 Convertable strap for wearing around your neck, shoulder or for hand-held grip. I also prefer a strap that doesn't have the lovely yellow "Nikon" branding. I believe not advertising the fact that I'm walking around with $3k worth of camera equipment keeps it safe.
|

Buy new: $32.99 Great little studio light for when you're having a dinner party or folks over for a little portraiture.

Buy new: $8.39 Anything that helps keep flashes and accessories organized is good in my book.
|
![]() | Adorama Digital Media Storage Wallet, Soft Nylon Case Holds 4 Compact Flash Cards and 8 AA Batteries
Holds batteries and memory cards. I rarely use it for memory cards, but having the spare batteries is always a lifesaver.
