Welcome onboard Pana ship, for a start, don't get anything first. Try to get use to the menu and all the button first. Use built in flash instead of buying an external flash for now. and finally..... SHOOT more and post here .. :bsmilie:psx2sg said:
If you tend to save money on lens, try getting the adapter. Which you can find on the sticky thread which explain what is it.
The adapter allow you to step down from the 72mm(which is ur hood size) to 62mm or 58mm (depending which size you getting). By getting the filter like, UV filter, Circular Polariser, ND filter, etc... you tend to save a lot. The small the mm it is, the more you save. But you got to be careful with vignetting cause as well.
Most of us drop the size to 62mm.
Try looking ard the thread and if you had any doubts, shoot qtn out. See what the others can help you along.
Have fun with ur camera.. :sweat: :angel:

get a circular polariser.
A UV filter is essential, protect your lens from scratches.
extra battery from EastGear, extra memory card lohz..
if you can, 1G at least.
try some night shots of course. with the mega OIS, notice
you shots is so much clearly and sharper..

just to add in another point, you have to know this is a prosumer camera and there are bound to have some limitation. Well, use and maximise what you camera can produce and shoot what your camera shoot. Errr, pratically everything. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

After looking at the post I realise that this camera can adapt to other accessories from other make, so does it means that its compatible?

Here is the link for the buy and sell thread of the phayee adaptors. Some should be coming in soon

Quite a few lumixians recently got a 'dark one' so a few letting go of their adaptors and TA and WA too. just go buy & sell and check.
Check out the site by Ching-Kuang Shene
http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam/
learned quite a bit from there. can refer to the sticky too.
The teleconvertors and wide angle convertors of other makes and brands can be used if you have the correct thread size on the adaptor to mount them. Some work better then others, so just read and find out what people who have used them say.
btw panasonic one very expensive :cry:
Well at the end of the day shoot more buy less

I think u mean the wide or tele lens. Which is depending on the adapter tube u used. if original 72mm, your choice is lesser and more expensive. If switch to the 62mm, you have more choice of cheaper wide and Tele lens of size 62mm or 55mm.
see example of different lens with 55 & 62 mm step down ring/adapter below:

This is one of the charm of this prosumer cam which can help newbie to have a feel of DSLR without burning a big hole in the pocket.
however, it has its limitation - non-optical viewer, noisy ISO etc.....

Must have
1) Phayee adaptor(62mm) / Raynox adaptor(52mm)
2) UV filter (Hoya multicoated more ex / Tokina cheaper alternative)
3) Circular Polariser
4) Extra battery (Eastgear / Digital (cheaper but relatively less shoots)
5) A new bag to carry the camera in (with the adaptor on the old bag is not friendly)
6) A new lens cap (Nikon centre grip caps 62mm cost around 10 -12)
