is a very good and convenient walk around lens. IF you prefer high end lenses: Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G AF-S is an excellent walk around lens or standard lens. Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX (IF) is a very good wide angle lens. Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 G ED VR is the prefect telephoto lens.

- SDHC/ SD Memory cards: San Disk, Kingston and Lexar are good brand to buy. You need two 8G cards so that you can record HD video.
- Tripod: Bogen Manfrotto 190XPROB and Bogen-Manfrotto 322RC2 ball head.
Both receive excellent reviews among users at amazon. I have a very similar tripod and this ball head. It is very nice, the only complain is that it is relatively heavy. It is not for hiking.
- Remote control cord: Wireless Remote Control ML-L3 or wired Nikon MC-DC2 Remote Cord.
