Just grabbed a new Nikon 7100 along with the following lenses:
I have been using the D90 for a long time, but really have just been getting into cameras just recently. My wife is a pretty big photographer, but she is just getting out of older film SLRs that she used in college and is making the digital change finally.
Questions for those out there, I would like some advice on some other nice items to complement what I have. Assume I am not a pro, and would like to do a variety of stuff like some close-ups, vacation pics, family pics, and just fun stuff around the house and so forth.
What (if any) additional lens filters are helpful? I heard a polarized is nice, is that true?
Would a better be flash be helpful? if so, do I need to drop bank on it, or are they recently affordable? I don't plan to sink a ton more $$$ into it just yet.
I really like the 18-200 so far because it has awesome range to avoid swapping lens for vacation pics. I hated swapping lens on the fly for the D90 when I wanted close vs. sort-of far off pics. The 35mm is really nice for around the house, plus it's small (light) and has a great 1.8f-stop for low-light pics.
