Great budget entry level DSLR camera. Gives the option of shooting Full Auto and also allows the user to venture into the world of shooting manually!

A must have! This isn't just a bigger battery. Allows the user to carry 2 batterys, makes the camera much easier to hold (if you have big hands) + extra buttons for portrait shooting.

Great all round day to day lens, much better than the kit lens (thats in a draw somewhere). I'd have preferred the 17-55 F2.8 IS but the dust ingress issue concerned me.

Great telephoto zoom lens. I did a lot or research before I bought and have no regrets .The Image stabilisation on this really improves shots taken hand held.

The wide angle. OK the Canon 10-22 lens is sharper but this is £200 cheaper and you get a lens hood and a case thrown in! Excellent for landscapes and you can have some fun with close up portraits.

Buy new: £75.99 / Used from: £79.99
The best £65 you'll spend. Very sharp and the F1.8 is brilliant at blurring out the background on portraits.

Buy new: £119.95
A well made bag to carry it all about with the added bonus of it doesn't look like a camera bag and it takes a 17" Laptop. I've got a red and black one.

You'll need this when using the bigger lens's as they cast a shadow with the onboard flash. Its also much more powerfull and better than all of the cheaper imitations.
