 | Pentax K100D Super 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Shake Reduction (Body Only)
Buy new: $799.99 / Used from: $395.00 Great starter DSLR. I opened this and was taking pics almost immediately. I've had mine for 2 weeks, and I've already taken over 3000 pics. Easy to learn, easy to operate, great DSLR.

 | Pentax SMC P FA J - Zoom lens - 28 mm - 80 mm - f/3.5-5.6 AL - Pentax K
Buy new: $49.00 / Used from: $36.50 Great first lens for the K100D Super at a great price. Remember, there is a 1.5x crop factor on the K100D Super for lenses made for 35mm film cameras. This would be 42-120mm equivalent. That covers just about everything, from landscapes to pets to portraits. I recommend a wider lens for landscapes, but this is a great one to start with.

 | Magic Lantern Guides: Pentax K100D / K110D (Magic Lantern Guides) by Joe Farace
Buy new: $13.57 / Used from: $1.99 This book is a must-have for the K100D Super. The book is written for the K100D, not the K100D Super, but there is hardly a difference between the two cameras. I found the K100D Super manual a little hard to understand. This will be a great help.

 | SanDisk 2 GB SD Memory Card ( SDSDB-2048-A11, Retail Package)
Buy new: $4.19 / Used from: $4.95 Remember, you need a memory card for any digital camera. The K100D Super takes SD cards, and SanDisk is the most reliable memory card company. This a great first memory card and will hold over 680 pics on the K100D Super.
|
 | Sandisk Extreme USB 2.0 3in1 Card Reader (SDDRX3-3IN1-901, US Retail Package)
Buy new: $84.95 Get this for the SanDisk Extreme III 2GB SD card. The transfer speed just doesn't compare with anything. Trust me, you'll be amazed.

 | Tamrac Adventure Messenger 4 DSLR Camera Bag (Grey/Black)
Buy new: $44.89 / Used from: $44.95 Of course, you're going to need a bag to carry your K100D Super. This one provides room for the camera with up to a 6" lens attached, plus another long lens or two short ones, plus a flash or other accesories, plus a front compartment for 2 pens, memory cards, batteries and other accesories. See the diagram on the page to see what I mean.

 | Pro Power
This is a real bargain for $30. 4GB will hold around a thousand pics with the K100D Super. 133x is very fast, but not as fast as the SanDisk Extreme III. Use the Extreme III as your regular card, this as your backup, and the regular SanDisk as your third backup. That will be 8GB of memory, plenty of pics in case you cannot transfer to your computer right away.

 | Tamron Autofocus 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical Lens + Tamron AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Lens + Hoya 58mm & 62mm UV Haze Protector Glass Filters + CapKeeper Lens Cap Straps + 6-Piece Cleaning Kit - for Pentax Digital & Film AF SLR Cameras including K10D, K20D, K100D, K110D & K200D
Buy new: $199.95 Great 2 lenses for the K100D Super. The 28-80mm is good for landscapes and regular standard-range zoom. The 70-300mm is great for sports and long-range zoom purposes. Unlike the first 28-80mm Pentax lens above, these are made for digital cameras, so no crop factor. Plus, lens cap keepers so you don't lose your lens caps. Cleaning kit for when your lenses get dusty. Filters, too.

 | Pentax Smcp-Fa 50MM F/1.4 Lens + Accessory Kit
Buy new: $221.95 A 50mm f/1.4 lens is a must for indoor and low-light photography. Great for pets and portraits, too. This is the latest version of Pentax's 50mm f/1.4.
|
 | BOGEN 681-B Manfrotto Series Monopod for Still Camera
Buy new: $54.95 A monopod is a must for sports photography. This one is heavy--2.3 pounds. I like heavy monopods. They feel more professional. Plus, it has a head for a 45 degree angle tilt--a must for sports photography.
|
 | Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $62.00 / Used from: $52.00 This is the kit lens. It is very wide: 18mm. Great for landscapes. It is a great autofocus lens for the K100D Super.
|
 | Sunpak 9002DX Tripod with 3-Way Quick-Release Pan Head
Buy new: $56.90 A tripod is a must for portraits, night scenes, etc. Sunpak is a good, reliable company. Plus quick release head, very useful if you're doing a tripod shot, then a shot off the tripod, then with the tripod, etc. Extends to 70 inches, that's almost 6 feet. Great tripod.
|
 | Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack (Black)
Buy new: $89.95 / Used from: $67.00 With all this equipment, it probably won't all fit in the Tamrac. This thing is a pro, reliable, weatherproof bag, and I think it is worth $70. Pouches for memory cards, accesories, the camera with a lens attached, plus 3-4 lenses.
|
 | Sandisk MicroMate SD/ SDHC Memory Card Reader (White, BULK Package)
Buy new: $8.01 Of course, the Extreme card reader is going to be faster than this, but sometimes you need a small, easy way to transfer your photos. You can just slip this thing in your pocket or camera bag. Of course, the Extreme card reader will fit in the Lowepro bag, but this is good to have as a tiny, slim backup just in case you may need it.
