I Have just ordered Olympus D-220L Digital camera. What accessories would owners of this camera's recommend that we must have? Also any hints that would be helpful for maximum use of this camera. Should I order larger cards? If so, what size? Appreciate all info.

Hi Carol:

About the only "must have" would be to get some high-capacity NiMH rechargeable AA batteries. Thomas Distributing has good deals on batteries and chargers, at http://www.thomas-distributing.com/batteries.htm. Buy two sets and an inexpensive overnight charger - that way, you'll always have one set ready to go in the charger when you use up the current one.

As to memory cards, more is always better, but the D-220L doesn't make particularly huge files. On the other hand, 8 meg cards aren't too expensive, at ~$40-50 each. Check our advertiser d-store, as they generally have good prices.
