Message: <blockquote data-quote="FlushUnderFoot" data-source="post: 1472863" data-attributes="member: 76022">Thanks for the heads up - I ordered a pair of spare batteries from SterlingTek.I think I'm gonna hold off on the monopod and lens hood for now, but will get into that stuff later after I've learned how to use the camera/lenses that I'm getting without them. Considering that this is my first SLR (and second camera ever) and first one with interchangeable lenses, I realized that I've got a lot of learning ahead of me even without getting into any of the basic accessories lol...Again, thanks for the advice guys!</blockquote>
