Extra's for Canon Rebel EOS XS/1000D ? Filters/Lenses etc. Experienced people only please?
Im going to buy a Canon Rebel EOS XS to share with my dad. It comes with an 18-55mm kit lens. He'll be using while in Ireland for landscape shots (probably with water) and candid portraits. I'll be using at summer camp for horses and kids (mostly in sunlight but some early morning and campfire pics). There will probably also be a bit of Macro.
I was wondering what kind of extras we should get to fit our needs? Will the kit lens do, if not what are the lenses and filters that you would recommend (include sizes and brands please)?
P.S We have a tripod and camera bag. I'm planning on buying an extra battery from Kijiji as well as a high GB memory card.
Thank you and Have a good day

I'm with Fish on this one. I won't lie. I wouldn't mind if my love of photography did turn into a full fledged career for me. But I am realistic and humble enough to know I am one of millions out there with a camera. I'm fighting with the competition while working my as* off to improve daily. I'm dealing with the wannabes who buy a camera then think they can go into a photography business in 3 months. I'm dealing with people who see nothing but dollar signs when they start photography rather enjoy the love of the craft and the fun in learning. People who have zero clue what they are doing yet claim they have an eye for it. How can you have an eye for it if you've never had a camera? Makes no damn sense. Your camera is excellent for day to day usage, exploring the camera, learning the ins and out from a technical perspective, and even shooting small gigs (when you're actually ready for them, not when you've fired off a handful of shots for a friend and call them "pro"). But for a career? No. You need something much more than just one little Canon Rebel body. I own a Rebel and I love it but I know full well if I expect to be taken seriously as a photographer I will eventually need to upgrade. I wish you luck but I do ask that you reconsider the career aspect. Enjoy it as just a hobby for a few years and then see where you are at.
