[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 99380, member: 9521"] Welcome Katie - The only things I would add to your want list would be a good CP (circular polarizer), a Giottos rocket air blaster to blow out the dust in your camera and on your lenses (better than wiping the glass and if you change lenses you'll invariably get dust on your sensor), and a decent flash unit for the times you're indoors and need a little extra light. For the CP, stick with a good brand like B+W, Marumi and others are okay. Just avoid the $18-$20 CP's. For a flash unit, consider an SB-400 or SB-700. The SB-700 has a bit more reach but oth are more than enough for most photographers. I would also suggest you pick up a good book or two on photography and photographic composition. Lot's of good books out there as well as web sites dedicated to the subject. And most importantly, enjoy your time making images. It can be frustrating now and then but when you get that one shot that is just amazing it will make it all worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
