Canon EOS 50D camera accessories?
Posted by admin | Under Canon EOS Accessories Sunday Feb 28, 2010Hi, I’m going to purchase a Canon EOS 50D camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom. Which memory card and battery should I purchase with this camera? What measurement should I buy for the UV Protector Filter and the lens cap? Is a sensor cleaning kit required? Thanks!
Don’t get this combo. Thats not a great lens for the 50D, wide angle is equivalent to 45mm because of the crop. Look for a 17-85 kit or settle for an 18-55 kit if need be.
There is a battery with the camera.
It takes compact flash. You won’t get a compact flash with the camera. Buy at least 2GB, pref 4GB.
You will get a lens cap with it.
Thread size is 72mm don’t get a UV though, get a skylight 1A instead, it lets UV light into the lens, which kills of mould. Which is a good thing.
A cleaning kit will be useful down the line. If you keep the lens on the camera, and only change lenses indoors you should actually be okay for quite a long time.

Memory cards are cheap. Get a few 8 Gig cards. Buy an extra Canon battery, too. (There is only one kind so you don’t have a choice.) Yes, a UV filter to protect the lens. (The lens comes with a lens cap already).
p.s. Don’t go into sensor cleaning at this point. As a matter of fact, most people shouldn’t even try to do it on their own. It’s like doing surgery on your eye ball, if you know what I mean.
