personally :
1) dry box (be it a tight sealed box with silica gel or electrical type) is next in the list after u get ur camera & lens, u dont want ur lens to grow fungus right?
2) read the manual & books on basics of photography (library has tons of those & they r free).
3) go take photos, than compare those you shot against similar composition printed in magazines or those shot by fellow csers for local scenery. always analyze what is it that makes you like those images.
4) than comes the spending of more $$$. but 1st, after shooting for a while, you should have some ideas what you like to shoot, eg night scene, street candid, studio portrait, close up etc. than you can decide priority, lens (prime or zoom, wide or tele etc), tripod, flash or bag (back pack or sling bag).
but dont rush into (4), take your time to go through (3).
than again, if money not issue and owning state of the art gadget makes you happy, go ahead. after all, we pick up hobby to make ourself happier right?
most important thing, dont be con into buying wide angle converters!!! there r tons of fellow csers wo were conned into buying those thing.

also, know which are the more honest shop to get your stuff, tons of fellow csers got con into paying top $$$ for crappy filters or were pressured into spending $$$ for things they dont need but the sales person offer them as a so call package deals.
bottom line, do research before going into the shop.
please please dont go into shop, kana chop, than come post in cser and cry. tons of fellow csers did this.
