 | David Busch's Nikon D300 Guide to Digital SLR Photography by David D. Busch
Buy new: $19.79 / Used from: $18.50 David taught me everything I knew, till I started to learn on my own. I got this two weeks before I bought the camera to make sure the D300 was what I wanted. Great reference book too.

 | Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Buy new: $2,199.95 / Used from: $1,125.00 The core.
|
 | Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
Buy new: $184.13 / Used from: $145.00 Not a high-end pro lens, but a good start. Especially when you have to drop almost $2K for the camera body. It has a decent range, and it's better to learn how to handle your D300 before you plug that 17-24mm on it.
|
 | Sandisk SDSDX3-008G-A31 8GB Extreme III SD Card
Buy new: $55.69 / Used from: $70.00 Perfect size. I get about 225 images on one of these when saving JPG and RAW.

 | Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for D200, D300, D700 and D80 Digital SLR Cameras, Part 25334
Buy new: $38.49 / Used from: $26.25 Get one extra and put this on you wish list for future reference.
|
 | Giottos AA1900 Large Rocket Blaster
Buy new: $8.54 Perfect for light cleaning and irritating the cat.
|
 | Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $217.58 / Used from: $200.00 Ignore the hype about the 800 and the 900. This is plenty of flash for most of us. And if you decide to upgrade to an 800 or 900 later, the 600 makes an awesome slave.

 | The Nikon Creative Lighting System: Using the SB-600, SB-800, SB-900, and R1C1 Flashes by Mike Hagen
Buy new: $23.07 / Used from: $20.66 Now that you have your flash, learn how to use it.

 | Manfrotto 679B Monopod 3-Section Replaces 679 (Black)
Buy new: $47.90 / Used from: $36.99 Nice, portable and affordable.
|
 | Manfrotto 484RC2 Mini Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect Plate (3157N)
Buy new: $60.90 Pretty small head but then again, for a monopod or travel-pod, it's what you need.
|
 | NIKON MC-36 Multi-Function Remote Cord ( 33.5 inches )
Buy new: $141.69 / Used from: $119.99 A little expensive but as far as wired remotes go, you won't outgrow this.
|
 | Manfrotto 200PL-14 RC2 Rapid Connect Mounting Plate with 1/4-Inch 20 Screw (Gray)
Buy new: $14.20 Get an extra one or two. They work with any RC2 compliant head and @ $12/each, it's worth it if you loose it and end up rendering your $300 tripod system useless.
