Flash Guns

If the flash on your camera is not powerful enough, then you need a flash gun. Used to produce artificial light, a flash gun gives you a wider illumination range, so you can capture objects in the distance better in poorly lit conditions. You can also usually change the direction of your flash, giving you more creative options as well as take more consecutive flash images thanks to longer lasting power than a standard flash.

Batteries

Batteries are essential for your digital camera and don't last very long compared to those in a film camera. Luckily most digital cameras come with their own rechargeable batteries and these not only lower costs for you but are more environmentally friendly.

However, it is handy to have spare batteries so even when you are charging one set, you can still carry on shooting.

Look for rechargeable batteries, which will save you money in the long term. The higher the rating of the battery, the more power you'll have. Don't forget to let your rechargeable batteries run their course before recharging as this will prolong their life.

Lenses

To maximise the potential of your DSLR camera, you'll want to buy the right lens. Choose a brand of lens that is the same as your camera brand to ensure compatibility. The different lenses available include: fixed focal length, macro, standard zoom, wide-angle zoom, telephoto zoom and superzoom. Your choice will depend on what you want it for. At Ebuyer.com you'll find lenses from all the top brands - Canon, Sanyo, Sony, Olympus and Panasonic.

Tripods

Do you suffer from shaky hands while taking photos? You may have the best quality camera available and motion blur reduction and image stabilisation tools but nothing can beat the sturdiness of a tripod. You may also find you have blurred images if you are using zoom or you're in a poorly lit room - this is where a tripod will help.

Take a look at Ebuyer's range of tripods for sharp, clear images. The three-legged frame gives you support and stability.

Cases & Bags

To carry your DSLR camera and kit around with you, you need a sturdy case or bag. It needs to be able to protect your photographic equipment while you are out and about, and potentially be waterproof as well.

Pockets that are easy to access are essential for those spare batteries or flash gun. If you use a tripod, you may need a bag that gives you room to attach one. Choose the style that suits you best from our range including backpacks, shoulder bags and hard cases.
