I'm buying a "Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi (a.k.a. 400D)" soon and I need some help with the accessories. I would be disappointed and actually a little embarrassed to receive this camera and not have everything I need to immediate begin learning this machine. I have no problem investing money in items which are a better bang for the buck than a cheaper item.
First of all, Protection. I'm pretty clumsy, so I need to minimize the chance of dropping, slamming, and in general damaging the camera. Next up are batteries. I really don't have a clue as to what batteries I should bet on, so I hope somebody explains about how to choose batteries and what to avoid. I plan on taking this camera abroad, so I think I should get a bag to easily transport and store accessories and equipment with some space left over for "x" item(s). Cleaning is also very important to me. Everything I buy, I like to keep clean and working flawlessly. The last(not really the last) thing that comes to my attention when thinking of accessories are memory and storage. Since I am new, I plan to take many photographs with different combinations of exposures, angels, white balance, etc.
In my rush to finish this, I may have forgotten some details or items, so please if you think, "Hey, he might be interested in this" or "Wonder if he knows this", please don't hesitate to suggest it. I'm open to every suggestion.
Thanks, I'll check back soon. :hail:
