Digital Camera Accessories: Which Ones Do You Really Need?

The digital camera is one of the most common pieces of consumer electronics nowadays

. From pros with high-end SLR cameras to kiddies with picture-phones, everyone has them. But few people realize the importance and potential of digital camera accessories, which are not only for experts but also for beginners.

Digital photography allows you to touch many lives through images of beauty and art which will be able to take and to keep in electronic format. People who are very good at it have started out with this as a hobby but some even managed to turn it into a profession!

Regardless of whether photography is a profession or a pastime for you, you will find that digital camera accessories are not only for the experts, but that there are extras available even for the most basic compact camera. Even some cell phones with cameras have dedicated accessory lines!

There are various types of digital camera accessories available that will be of use right from the start, or that you may need in the future to improve the quality and flexibility of your photography. Some of the digital camera accessories that should be part of your arsenal include the following:

A camera bag is probably going to be the first companion of most new digital cameras, and for a reason. Camera bags are cheap and protect the equipment within, also making it easier to carry. Indispensable when travelling, they are great to keep all your kit together in one place even when at home.

Camera bags come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. While you may also carry your camera in a normal bag it makes sense to invest in a specialized bag as it's purpose-made and often padded.

After the bag, the next most common (and just as handy) camera accessory is undoubtedly the tripod. This triple stick will hold your camera steady, allowing you to take nighttime pictures, to achieve unusual effects and to avoid unwanted blurry photos. A lot of tripods are small or foldable, and easy to carry around.

Make sure that the tripod you buy fits your camera attachment, or you will be sorely disappointed. Once you will start using one of these beauties, you will find yourself in many photography situations where you will wonder how to do without.

Spare batteries and battery chargers and memory cards round up the energy and storage part of the camera. If you have a digital SLR camera and are already somewhat proficient with its use, you should also consider adding extra lenses, filters, and external flashguns to your arsenal of digital camera accessories.
