[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 290834, member: 12257"] Welcome to the HUZZAH! To help with what I know... 1) I still use my kit lens with no hood, and haven't had too many issues with flare, etc, but I use a hood all the time on my 50mm prime and 70-300. *shrug* There are instances they help, haven't found any instances where they hurt, and they're fairly cheap, so why not? 2) GREAT CARD, but a major overkill unless you're shooting large commercial gigs, lots of weddings, or a whole mess o' video. 3 and 4) don't have either, no comment 5) A spare battery is nice, and as said before, a grip with dual batteries is just personal preference. I've never drained my battery completely in a day of shooting, but again, I'm not a commercial shooter. I like the feel of a battery grip myself, although I'm holding off on buying one until I take a step up in camera bodies. 6) Your owner's manual will have all the info you need. I'd suggest spending money on a beginning/intermediate class in your area instead. Sure, it's a little more costly, but (at least in the classes I took) there's a lot of hands on and in-depth discussion of what settings do in specific situations, etc, with assignments and trial and error discussions. INVALUABLE! The folks here on the forums are good for providing info too. ;) [/QUOTE]
