Essentials For the Beginner
When I first got my gear, my Dad was experienced enough to know what to buy me. I had no
clue
all i thought was “yoorrrr a 10 megapixel camera”. I soon discovered that SLR photography is much more than just about mega pixels.
Some essentials I don’t think any beginner should start without:
1. Filters – namely UV filters – mainly for lens protection.
2. Camera Bag to keep your stuff in, whether its just your camera or camera and lenses and flashes etc.
3. Tripod – get one if you shooting at night and dont wanna use the flash or if you shooting landscapes.
4. External Flash if you can afford one – Canon 430EX Speedlite is a good place to start.
All in all should cost about R1000 without the flash.. Thats a very rough estimate.
But its stuff you will probably need. So start building your kit..
Worry about lenses later on when u move in non beginner stage 
Oh yes one more thing..
