accesories for my NIKON D60?

here is the camera im getting:

other than this purchase, which is the camera and the zoom lens, what else do i need?

right now i have a tiny sony point and shoot, so thats all im really used to.

Im thinking I need a ..

-memory card
- charger
- battery
what kinds of these will i need and what else do i need?

im so clueless so any help would be GREATLY appreciated
also.. if amazon is not the best place to get this camera.. please let me know

thanks

No, IMO, Amazon it's the best place. I would recommend B&H or Adorama

Nikon D60 | B&H Photo Video

Digital cameras, all other cameras and everything photographic from Adorama Camera

I'd also recommend that you get a camera bag to store your len(s), charger, computer hook-up cord, etc.

Yes. Definently get a bag.

I also got a flash, case for flash, extra batteries and charger for flash, extra mem card for camera, extra battery and charger for camera. I really want to get one of those tiny tripods right now for taking pics of the dogs at "eye level" - well at least for them.

im so nervous. all ive ever had was a little point and shoot lol

You'll LOVE it!

You may want to purchase a faster lens in the future.

But get a bag and you're set!

Battery and charger should come with the camera.

What you'll need in addition to the camera/lens kit is a bag, a cloth for wiping your lens and some lens cleaner. A very important thing to keep in mind is keep the lens cleaner in a separate pocket from the camera - and keep it in a plastic bag. Trust me when I say that the tops do come off those bottles and cell phones can absorb a suprising amount of cleaner fluid.

any recommendation for lens cleaner?

im looking around for a cute camera bag

I generally use the same cleaner I use for my glasses, so nothing too fancy. Just remember not to spray the lens itself. Spray the cloth and the clean using a circular motion starting in the middle and working your way out.

I put this so far in my amazon wish list thingy:

memory card reader/flash drive
Tripod (tall one) its 70"
Nikon camera remote control thingy
Camera armor (rubbery camera suit thingy)
Memory Card sandisk 4 GB
Nikon lens cleaner kit


I know I need a bag but i just cant seem to find one that is not beyond hideous..

the wish list isnt exactly what im getting NOW lol its a wish list.. so im gonna work on getting everything little by little.. camera first of course lol

i got EVERYTHING in my card at B&H and then realized that they wouldnt sell the insurance to those in florida... great... i need insurance, im accident prone

Well, depending how much you are willing to spend on the bag,
I hear Crumpler's and Shootsac's are nice. I'm not sure how great they are, but they look nice..and seem good. Pretty

I have a crumpler 6 million dollar home in black and I LOVE IT.
It holds my D300 with whatever lens attached, sb600, sb400, fisheye, a prime or two, and another zoom if I want.

You should NOT have linked Shootsac.
I have too much stuff to do today to be sitting and browsing that site all day for a SUPER cool camera bag.

D@mn you!:lol-sign:

LOL sorrrryyy I want one already, and I don't even have a camera that needs a bag!
