Lana Uliano: You should get a tripod, it will open up your world to exposures lasting several seconds long. There are so many creative uses for a tripod that I feel its the most cost effective accesory that you can buy. If your not interested in that then I would suggest a new external flash, it will allow you to bounce the flash of ceiling and walls and give your photos that special look you're looking for....Show more
Karl Jantzen: Tripod, fast lens, remote release cable or an IR remote, fast 2GB cards, circular polarizer, spare batteries
Codi Manchel: If you haven't got a fast lens, f/2.8 or faster, then you should at least have a look at a 50mm f/1.8. It's very useful to have something like this available.The only things that stop me when I'm out with a normal camera are the lack of a lens cloth, spare memory card and/or spare battery.

Gertrude Darke: I have a Nikon D50 & D80, both being used for sports pics. The D50 came! with the 18-55mm lens which is great for close up shots but I mainly use my Tamron 28-300mm zoom which is simply awsome. They go for under £200 and is really all you need. The Nikon SB-600 flashgun is £100 cheaper than the SB-800 and is just as good in my opinion. Also, a 1GB SD memory card will be plenty. I shoot over 1000 pics a week and have never had a problem, good job you got a Nikon! Have fun .....!!!...Show more

Hei! dy Fujikake: Accessories in and of themselves do not make phot! ographs better or special. Knowledge of what they do and how to use them makes photographs better and special.What you want to do is first analyze your images and identify what it is about them that is lacking or could use improvement. Is there something with the existing gear that can be done to improve them? Once you've exhausted that line of thinking, then determine what accessory will give you the effect or help you need.I'd hate to see you waste money on things you may never use or not need just because you "want" accessories....Show more
Susan Rambo: Here are my suggested accessories:1) A UV/Haze filter. This protects the front element of your lens and is much cheaper to replace.2) A circular polarizer. The polarizer is used to darken a blue sky and to remove glare/reflections from glass, water, snow, sand and painted metal - but not polished metal.3) A lens cleaning cloth and a soft bristle brush. You can find both at http://www.bhphotovideo.com I have used! a "lipstick" style lens brush and a lens cloth for decades to keep my filters clean. In 37 years I've never used a liquid lens cleaner.4) A quality tripod. Manfrotto, Slik, Velbon, Gitzo, Gittos are all good brands. This is an item I suggest buying from a real camera shop. Its better to try a tripod before buying it. In some cases you'll have to choose a "head" (what the camera actually attaches to) for the tripod. When buying filters, don't waste your money on cheap, no-name ones. Buy quality. Heliopan, Tiffen, B+W, Hoya are all excellent filter brands. I suggest buying all your filters in a "thin" or "slim" mount to avoid any possibility of vignetting (dark corners on your pictures) with the 18mm focal length.My tips for better photography:1) Always shoot at your camera's highest resolution unless all you plan to do with the pictures is email them or use them on eBay or MySpace.2) Use your tripod whenever possible.3) Use the lowest ISO your camera allows.4) Learn every s! etting and feature of your camera by READING & STUDYING the Owner's Man! ual. Remember, a camera is really just a dumb box. You, the photographer, must be in control and direct that dumb box to do what you want to make the picture you want to make. "Pictures are not taken, they are made." Ansel Adams.5) Consider adding these books to your personal library: "Understanding Exposure" and "Understanding Shutter Speed", both by Bryan Peterson."Digital SLR Handbook" by John Freeman."The Art of Digital Photography" by Joseph Meehan."David Busch's Quick Snap Guide to Using Digital SLR Lenses" by David Busch. http://www.dbusch.com6) Subscribe to at least one photography magazine. My personal choice is Shutterbug.7) Avoid what I call the "machine gunner mentality" when out shooting. That's where you take 300 pictures and hope a few turn out. If you take 300 bad pictures and have no idea why they're bad, what have you learned? Other than how to take 300 bad pictures.Develop what I call the "sniper mentality" - one exposure, one good picture. Think about t! he picture you want to make and how you can make it. Challenge yourself. Try this exercise: Leave your lens at 55mm and make 36 exposures. NO DELETNG. 36 exposures is all you're allowed. NO DELETING. This exercise will definitely help you to slow down and actually think about what you want to do. Sure, you can cheat but you'll only be cheating yourself.Don't fall into the "Oh, I can fix it in Photoshop" mentality. Always strive to "Get it right in the camera" and keep your post-processing to a minimum. Don't ever be satisfied with the very first view of a scene. Sit down. Move a few feet right or left. Stand on a bench or tree stump. Lie down flat on your belly. Lie flat on your back. Zoom out. Zoom in. Don't just stand there like a statue and click the shutter.Learn to pay as much attention to the background as you do to your subject. Trees or poles "growing" out of your subject's head or power lines "running" thru it aren't flattering. A blah, overcast grey sky adds littl! e to most pictures. Eliminate it as much as possible.There is much more! to photography than just buying a camera and lens. Photography, like any subject, requires study. If you don't study, you fail.Always remember: "Its not the camera, its the photographer."...Show more
