I'm 13 and I just bought myself my very first professional camera. It's the Nikon D300. My fathers friend discounted this camera for me, as he bought a new one. Now, I've picked out a case. What else should i have? A cloth to wipe the lens, maybe? I have the charger, USB cord and lens cap, of course. I know there are filters you put on the lens to, for example, to lessen UV light. I want a couple of those. Do you have any suggestions? I don't want a new lens. The one I have is fine for now.

Tripod.

Your camera already has an internal UV filter. Using another one will not improve your photos.

Spare battery, Memory cards, tripod, cable release/remote.
UV filter, cpl filter.
The list is endless, so don't feel you need everything at once.

Neutral density filter might come in handy

Yes tripod. But a solid, quality tripod. And remote shutter release of some type.

Eventually you're going to want a new lens if you're serious.
TRIPOD. I would have that on my list right after the case.
A cable release cord… If you want to take pictures with long exposures.
Maybe some sort of manuel, you seem a little unsure about photography.

You're one lucky 13 year old… When I was 13, I could barely afford a Webkinz.

Don't waste your money on a UV filter. A polarizing filter is a good investment. Camera bag, tripod and then you should think about Photoshop.

Micro fiber cloth.
You have every thing to start off. Get to know your camera, shoot like hell and things would follow.

A good neck strap.
The owner's manual.
A tripod.
A good basic book on beginning photography and composition.
A polarizing filter if you plan on shooting outdoors.
Next on my list would be a good dedicated flash.
