Hey,
Bought a Sony SLT-37a and with some readings, I have come up with some questions:
The camera came with a 18-55mm lens, and I miss the zoom I had on my Nikon point-&-shot. That being said, I've read that a 55-200mm would be a good buy to increase the zoom and photo flexibility. Thoughts?
Amazon.com: Sony 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM DT Telephoto Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras: Camera & Photo
Also, since it seems that I use my camera a lot on very sunny day, should I spend some bucks on a lens hood?

I also plan to buy an extra lithium battery and a LCD sceen protector. I use the strap that came with it and I already have a Tripod. Is there anything I miss and should have?
Please note that I can't spend too much money on this because:
-It is a starter kit and I want to pratice without going bankrupt.
-I'm doing this for fun, and will probably upgrade for a bigger kit in a couple years.
-I am a total noob in photography.
Thanks in advance for the advices!
