Hi, i'm a new learner in Photography. If i use Canon 400D, can i make do with whatever accessories that comes with it for a start? cos the accessories are very expensive.. thot perhaps can get it as i learn along

Hiya

What accessories are you talking about? All you really need is a camera body + a lens to get shooting. For the 400d you may want to consider a battery grip as well, as the camera is a bit small to hold for people with larger hands.

Ex accessories? The kit that you have is definately enough for you to start shooting. Any special requirements?

extra batteries and memory cards would be useful though not a neccesity.

if you shoot vertical shots frequently, i will suggest the battery grip, you will definitely appreciate the bigger grip. makes you have a more steady grip when bigger lenses are used. IIRC is going around at 180+ BGE3 alone. the battery is $90+

Its a trap many fall into. Stick with what you have first then buy the lenses and acessories later...

Hmm.. think it's more of want to buy lens.. It's as expensive as most hobbies, stamp collectors, diving, cycling and lot more.
