Digital cameras are the latest trend these days.
They're available in various sizes and models from the palm size, pocket size to the smaller sizes.
There are also different colors to choose from which makes it appealing to both the young and old users.
What makes the digital camera so popular among many people today is its ease of use without the need to buy a film.
It's not surprising why even small children can easily operate it like a pro.
This is a worthy investment not only for ordinary users but even for the professional photographers.
It may cost you much to purchase a digital camera initially but if you know how to take care of the device, it can stay with you for a long time.
Your first purchase of a digital camera should come with some extras such as a casing, memory card and batteries.
But perhaps after you have developed a love for it, you may still want to buy additional accessories.
Before you make your purchase, though, why not find out first what digital camera accessories are currently available on the market.

• Battery charger - this is vital especially if your original one no longer works.
  Be sure to tell the store attendant your camera's brand name and model.
  Better yet, bring your digital camera with you when you buy.
  
• Memory card - you may want to buy another one as backup in case the free memory card provided gets full.
  Memory cards come in different storage capacity and brands.
  The brand name won't matter as long as you get the right size for your camera.
  
• Battery - always bring extra batteries with you especially if you're planning to take a lot of pictures.
  You can choose to buy the regular ones (AA, AAA) or the rechargeable batteries.
  
• Tripod - this will be useful if you wish to take photos of yourself together with other people and there's no one you can trust to get a good shot.
  
• AC adapter - you will need this if your battery gets weak and you still want to take more photos at home.
  
• Cables - these cables will help you see the photos you took on your computer and upload them for sharing with your family and friends online.
  These are vital if you're in the business of photo printing.
  
• Flash - while the digital camera usually comes with a built in flash, you may want to get an additional flash if you're planning to frequently use the device indoors and during night time.
  
• Bag and case - to keep your digital camera protected while you're on the move, it's best to have a specific bag or case with strap for it and your other accessories.
  
• Camera dock - this allows you to view pictures and videos on your TV.
  It specifically aids in transferring photos to other devices such as the TV and computer.
  It also keeps your camera charged.
  

There are many more accessories you can choose but don't buy them all just yet.
Be wise in selecting the more important ones first.
