Hi I just got the D50. I have the camera, the kit lens just the one and a 512 memory card since I did not have a lot of money to spend. I am going to be asking for whatever accesories I need for christmas soooo. WHat do you guys think are the very most important accesories if you have nothing! Name away
I think that really depends on what you're going to be doing. The first thing I would buy for that is a 50mm F1.8 nikkor lens. They are a hundred bucks and an amazing value for the money. If you want to stick with the kit lens for now, maybe look into an SB-600 flash. The built in flash is rather weak, so if you need better flash distance, then get a new flash. Other than that, maybe a telephoto lens? As far as nikon goes, I'd stray from the 70-300 ED and try to find a used 70-210mm. They are a couple hundred bucks and take very sharp pictures as well. That's just my opinion. Congrats on your awesome new camera.

The desire and ability to walk out your door to see what's there. The taking of pictures of what's there. That and the camera, is all you will ever need. Try to visualize what compositions of ordinary everyday life around you looks like in a rectangular format, within its borders. Look through your viewfinder to see what subjects look like. Explore, explore and then explore some more---with a healthy dose of experimentation. Photography is freedom. Photography is art.
