[QUOTE="Berkerk, post: 35305, member: 6804"] My opinion runs much the same: - Get a pair of Class 10 cards, although I'd get 8Gb as I run out of space occasionally. Sandisk, Transcend and PNY are all good. I personally use Transcend - cheaper than Sandisk and just as reliable. - The battery lasts me all day as well but if you do buy a second one then make sure it's a Nikon original as replica batteries won't work. - When buying a case/bag think about that additional lens (or lenses), flash and other "essential" accessories. I initially bought a small case that held my camera and kit lens, then bought a new lens and had to buy a new bag (Lowepro Topload Zoom Mini and then Kata DC 441 respectively, the Kata is far superior quality). - I don't have a telephoto, so won't make a recommendation. - Additional items (in order of preference) - lens filter, tripod, flash. None are essential until she decides how/what she wants to shoot. If she's learning photography then I'd also recommend 'Understanding Exposure' by Bryan Peterson, it covers everything she needs to know, to get started and more. [/QUOTE]
