I got this like plastic hood with my lense which I think I can fit on the top to protect it.
I'm going to buy a brush tommorow I think.
I love my camera!
Thankyou again.

The plastic hood is there to keep glare out of the lens which reduces contrast, it also doubles as protection for the glass. Like Uncle Peter I don't use UV filters only a circular polariser. I second the Giotto rocket blower brush, for a lens brush I have a Hama Lens Cleaning Pen
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-0000560...1834647&sr=8-1 which has a brush one end and a carbon cleaning disk the other (for grease and fingerprints). I have a cheap tripod which is next to useless as it can't really hold the weight, that's my next upgrade, carbon fibre with a nice ball head £300 approx. At the moment I use a Gorrilapod SLR Zoom with Ball head
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Joby-Gorilla...1834953&sr=1-1 which is very portable.
