 | Pentax K100D 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Shake Reduction and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Buy new: $789.00 / Used from: $315.00 I got this not long after it came out. I found that compared to the comparable Canon and Nikon models the K100d was much more substantial feeling, it has stabilization in the camera, and a long list of exceptional features. I have yet to regret this decision.

 | PROMASTER AF 55-200MM F4-5.6 EDO LD MACRO LENS FOR NIKON AF
I got a similar lens to replace two of my older 200mm manual focus lenses. I like that the lens picks up at the upper range of the kit lens zoom. It has given me a great deal of flexibility while carrying very little.

 | Tiffen 52mm Circular Polarizer
Buy new: $35.95 / Used from: $15.00 This is the first filter I bought and it is without a doubt one of the best purchases I've made. It allows me to get those really eye-catching blue skies. I get one for all my lenses.

 | Pentax Wireless Remote Control C
Buy new: $18.95 I had one of these left over from my mom's old Pentax film camera. It works the same as the bigger more expensive F model. I use it for group shots so that I avoid the old timer game.

 | SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries
Buy new: $10.95 / Used from: $8.99 I use these batteries. They seem to last a little longer than others. Although all I really recommend is stick with some type of rechargeable.
|
 | Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap for Digital & Film SLR Cameras
Buy new: $9.95 I opted for a hand strap over the neck strap because I can keep the camera strapped to my hand and it is always ready. Also, the strap keeps my portrait shots turned uniformly.

 | GP3-01EN(Zoom): Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM by JOBY for SLR Camera

 | SanDisk 2 GB Class 2 SD Flash Memory Card SDSDB-2048-A11

Buy new: $4.76 / Used from: $1.50 I picked one of these up cheap to hold my cards. It keeps them all gathered and that's all it needs to do.
|
 | Case Logic SLRC-1 SLR Camera Holster Case (Black/Grey)
Buy used from: $21.99 I use this if I am just taking the camera around. It is more than enough for the body ,a lens, the card case, and an extra set of batteries.
|
 | Tamrac 5533 Adventure Messenger 3 Camera Bag (Gray/Black)
Buy new: $39.95 / Used from: $27.00 This is my bag. It holds everything I carry and has extra space. It is a great bag. I especially like that it is just wide enough to hold my 400mm telephoto across the top.
