i was thinking of getting a dry cabinet for a start. shdnt get one??
If you dont wish to get a dry cabinet, at least get a dry box. It will help protect your camera. You may regret if you dont get one..
:thumbsup: This is e best answer i have seen so far.Get knowledge to learn how to operate your camera, and how to take good pictures, and the basics of photography.
Cheers!
Many people suggested using time for shooting and reading. Why wasting time on finding something that is hardly offered? Insurance for clumsiness is available at Courts / HN. Everything else .. common sense gets one a long way.After you get everything else for your camera, then get an insurance for it.

Adding on, TS, i assume you are using a kit lens. Use this lens to judge/realise what kinda shots u will/like/want to take. From there, the choices of lenses, flash, filters n etc will be clearer

Personally feel investment in a dry cabinet is wise if you think you're gonna plunge deep into this hobby. And even if you're not, it's still wise because you can set and forget. Everytime you're not using your camera for some time, just chuck it in the cabinet. Get a 2nd hand 30L one will do... usually less than $100. Beats the hassle of having a dry box, using gels, worrying about whether the gels saturated already, replacing gels, heating gels to reuse them, worry about whether it's carcinogenic, or the humidity too dry inside, forget to change over a long time, kena fungus (this happened to someone very recently).
I bought me a 2nd hand 30L one for $80 when I first started photography with a Panasonic FZ20 and some filters. Sure, it looked lonely in there, lots of empty space. 4 or 5 years down the road, I bought my first film SLR, followed swiftly by manual lenses, dSLR, newer lenses, more filters, more cameras, etc etc... Now, my cabinet is quite full, and still working! Tell me if that isn't a good investment...
The bare minimum to me will be a cleaning kit and dry cabinet. A Digicabi 30L costs just around $100. Go invest in one.
As for other gears, I agree with bro GeraldKhoo - You will find out what you need along the way
