三脚が必要です暗い場所や夜間の長時間露光に適しています。また、ビデオ撮影を設定するための鍵でもあります。 Alta Pro 263AB 100は、高価ではなく、頑丈で軽量なアルミニウム製で、360度回転し、最大15ポンド相当のカメラキットを収納できるボールヘッドを備えているため、ニコンの最高のアクセサリーの1つだと思います。 3本の脚は25度、50度、80度の角度でロックされ、三脚は約5.7フィートの高さになります。他の2つのモデル、Pro2とPro2 +も利用できます。これらは、価格を上げてさらに柔軟性を提供します。

Whether from fingerprints, raindrops or blowing dust, the glass on your camera’s lenses, LCD and viewfinder will frequently get dirty. The Altura Photo Professional Cleaning kit includes an air blower and a lens brush that you can use to safely remove big bits of dirt. It also comes with alcohol-free cleaning solution, lens tissue paper and microfiber cloths to finish the job. Lastly, it provides swabs for cleaning the delicate image sensor, in case dust gets in during lens changes.
Nikon’s D3000 l ine continually gets better battery life, rated from 540 shots per charge on the D3200 to a generous 1,500 on the D3500. That’s plenty of battery life for even an intensive day (or two) of shooting. But video will drain the cells much more quickly. And besides, you don’t ever want to miss a shot because you ran out of juice. For a margin of safety, consider carrying an extra battery, such as the EN-EL14a, which doubles the number of shots you can take.
This battery is compatible with the Nikon Df, Nikon D3100, D3200, D3300, D3400, D5100, D5200, D5300, D5500, and D5600. It’ll also work with the Nikon Coolpix P7000, P7100, P7700, and P7800.
The PNY 64GB Elite-X Class 10 U3 V30 SDXC memory card offers plenty of storage for photos, even in the large RAW format that’s best for making high-quality edits. The 100-MB/s speed easily handles plenty of HD video and is ready if you move up to a camera that shoots 4K/Ultra HD.
Buying a DSLR generally means compromising on zoom capability, since the large sensor also requires a very large, expensive lens. The Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC HLD changes all that. This lens has a 22x zoom, and weighs a little over a pound and a half — not a bad tradeoff really. If you have room for just one lens in your bag, this is the one to bring, especially if you shoot a lot of telephoto pictures (takes 72mm filters).

A big camera bag is necessary if you’re lugging extra lenses and other gear. But if you’re traveling light, this flexible, neoprene case provides all the protection you need from bumps and moisture — and a chance to show some style. USA Gear offers 20 fabric designs, from plain black to tropical flowers, so there’s certainly plenty of choice. The case pops open for quick access to the camera, openings allow you to thread the camera strap through and a small pocket can even store a few extras, such as a cleaning cloth or spare memory card.
Nikon’s best lens — the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G — is also one of our go-tos for testing the company’s cameras. On a consumer DSLR, this focal length (35mm) is a”normal lens”, which captures the world roughly the way we see it. It’s the most versatile kind you can have for a variety of subjects, and the huge, f/1.8 aperture gives you great range for shooting in low light or with very shallow depth of field. This lens takes 52mm-size filters.
A macro le ns like the Nikon AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8G Micro opens up tiny worlds for your photography, including flowers, insect life, jewelry, and fine details in items like furniture and fabrics. This lens is exceptionally sharp to within 6 inches of your subject.
Macro lenses aren’t just for close-ups, though. With a 40mm focal length, this product serves as a good all-around lens, with just a smidgen of telephoto beyond the way your eyes naturally see the world. With its large, f2.8 aperture, it produces a shallow depth of field for attractive portraits and allows for low-light shooting (takes 52mm filters).

Beyond filling in shadows, a DSLR’s built-in flash can’t do much. An attached flash not only covers much more territory, but also tilts, so you can bounce light off ceilings or walls for softer illumination. The SB-500 is not the cheapest Nikon flash, but it’s the best value among them by far, which is why we’ve included it in this list of the best Nikon accessories. Upgrades include not only tilting, but also rotation for more bounce options. In addition, this flash is far more powerful than Nikon’s entry-level models. Bonus: it includes a set of LEDs to provide constant illumination for shooting close-up video.
16. Peak Design Slide Lite strap

Your Nikon D-series camera will have come with a basic Nikon strap, but we’d always advise buying something a little more comfortable and functional. The Peak Design Slide Lite is just that strap: it can be worn as a sling, neck, or shoulder strap and has quick-adjusters for instant access and easy reconfiguration. It’s designed for”mirrorless and light DSLRs,”so better suited to the likes of the D3500 than the D500, but there is also a standard version available for $65.
17. Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021

Even if you’re well kitted out with physical accessories for your Nikon D-series camera, your final images will still benefit from adding some great photo-editing software into your workflow. While you could spend several hundred dollars on software, we’d recommend going for Adobe’s more affordable Photoshop Elements 2021. It’s easy to use, but also offers masses of creativity and plenty of power; it’s essential for amateur photographers who want to get the most from their images.
