There are so many different options out there that it's hard to know where to start. Fortunately, there are some digital cameras that are just perfect for the beginner trying to learn photography.
For those just starting out, I would go with Canon or Nikon. They are by far the biggest players in the market and once you start going with one brand, it's mighty hard to switch to a different one.
Kit lens aren't good, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't get one. It comes with the camera and it's a good way for you to learn how to take photos instead of worrying about all the specs.
Many people buy protective filters for their lens but they fail to buy good ones. This is not good because the glass may not be perfectly flat, causing unwanted reflection.
Beginners want to know if there's a set number of lens a professional needs, and the answer really depends on your needs. My advice is to buy them as you need them, instead of buying them because you want them.
Get a good camera bag if you ever want to enjoy photography. The cameras are pretty heavy, and you also want to protect them because of their obviously high cost.
If there are any accessories you should get right from the get go, it's a cloth to wipe your lens and the blower for the dust that will accumulate on your lens. They are fairly inexpensive so just buy it from the start.
You need to check your photos frequently at the beginning, so get a moderate sized memory card to force you to plug it into your computer. Otherwise you will never learn.
Hold off on photo editing software at first because you want to hone your skills as a photo taker first and then add onto your skill set at a later stage. Photography skills is still the core of what you are trying to accomplish. - 32363
