Ha...ha. Welcome to the big Sony/KM family. It's a very nice cam. For the bag wise, you just need something small. You can check out Lowepro. There's a shop at Suntec 2nd level near to Carrefour selling Lowepro bags. Alternatively can check out Crumpler.

Depends on what sort of accessories you'd be getting. I think I got recommended Lowepro AW 120 or something.. It's turning out to be too small, I put two filters + my H2 (not sure what size H5 is compared to H2, too lazy to check).. So if you're planning to get accessories bigtime like wide converter, teleconverter.. Er, get something bigger than that.

Welcome, anyways. H series is superb, imho. Loving it.

eh..what is filter??

btw..how much is the lowepro?

[night86mare]

There's a Lowepro bag price list in the forums.

Seek and ye shalt be rewarded, do not be lazy.

Filter is.. Oh well, I could write a long story on this, but I suppose googling for "photographic filters" will save you and me a lot of time!

In other words, google and Wikipedia are your new best friends!

Come, let me try to sell IR to you.
Take IR!

IR fun!

Just kidding. Alright, then get a bigger bag than the one I said. Definitely not enough, honestly.

On the other hand, filters are not just for taking photographs in high light conditions. If you like capturing dawn/dusk sceneries, graduated ND filters/ND filters along with various assorted filters are very useful. That's all I know though, since my interest is primarily in landscape photography.
