I got the 30D, a Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM and a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens. To go along with it I have some SanDisk Ultra II 2.0 GB cards. I need some suggestions on what else to get? Bag, lens accessories, batteries, hoods, LCD screen protectors, flash (or flashes) and anything else you can think of.  There are things that are must have and I need to get them ASAP and others will be future purchases.  I have an old Tenba bag that I have had for years and it houses my EOS 620 at the moment. Is there a bag that would be better to get than another? Thanks in advance and I will appreciate any and all advice. BigDozer66 |

i am getting a Zigview S2 for my 30D. i know everyone on here will think this is a useless over priced gadget but it will prove to be a valuable asset for my applications. and Camera Armor and Vertical Grip/Battery |

Read at your own risk photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5 
Do you mean the 580EX (or perhaps the 430EX)? Perhaps some hybrid flash  ?

vert grip is a must-have these batts are outstanding: www.mydigitaldiscount.com/s.nl/it.A/id.249/.f?sc=2&category=99 |
Is that place for real? What a great deal! I bought an off market and it was a POS. I need three more (two sets of two) to make my life complete. |
Thanks for the link on the batteries. I bought one from another place because I was already ordering something else but I might need a few spares.  BigDozer66 |

Eyepiece Extender Pro: MUCH more comfortable; helps keep screen clean. Con: Reduces viewfinder magnification.

I haven't gotten one yet but I think that it would be a great addition to the camera. I finally got the Camera Armor in for it. Manfrotto is next on the list.  BigDozer66 |

Personally, I really love my polarizer. I don't really use the UV filters much though. I almost always shoot with a hood and that's enough protection for me. YMMV. Another aftermarket battery that's good is the Sterlingtek. I have two of them and they are 2000mAH. My experience is that they are very good quality and last a LONG time. They are a little more expensive than the ones at digital discount though, at $11.99, but have more advertised power. Still a good deal cheaper than Canon batteries. Don't forget a good cleaning kit for the sensor either. |
