What kinds of accessories should you get for your digital camera to ensure maximum enjoyment, ease-of-use, and durability? First and foremost, remember that most cheap digital cameras come with underwhelming memory cards. Whether you are buying a cheap $100 model or a semi-pro Canon PowerShot 10-D, you likely want to improve your carrying capacity by upgrading your card. At minimum, you should get 256 MB storage, although most shutterbugs prefer to have something along the lines of one GB storage.

Nature enthusiasts may get telephoto lenses or zooms to enable more active distance shooting. A super wide-angle zoom, like the Canon FD 19 by 35mm manual focus lens, will hit great close-up shots. The Canon EOS LD Macro lenses allow you to take really interesting "mili-scopic" shots. Alternatively, birdwatchers and sports enthusiasts may opt for ultra telephoto lenses for extreme distance shots.

Another important digital camera accessory is the carrying case. Whether you're traveling through airports, taking your camera to the forest for a shoot, or simply toting your equipment to and from a friend's birthday party, you want maximum cushioning. Protect you lenses by getting top-quality lens caps. Avoid subjecting your cameras to any overly dusty or humid environments.
