Some accessories, like a solid tripod or a good camera bag , are considered essential for just about all serious photographers, while others, like a wireless remote, are for such specialized applications that most camera users will never have a need for them. You are better off to use your new camera for a while, assessing your needs as you come across situations in which a particular accessory would be useful. Some accessory manufacturers are known for the consistently-high quality of their products while others are known for their low prices. Your camera's manufacturer may make a particular accessory itself, which, if you acquire it, will probably be a good match with your camera, at the same level of quality. When purchasing a tripod, consider buying a cable release to ensure maximum camera stability.
Some manufacturers offer different types of battery systems for their cameras.
A rechargeable battery system is initially more expensive, but may suit your long-term needs. We hope you find the information to be helpful.
