As Tony said Mike. A memory card is not usually included. Definately the Cable release. The only other things I'd suggest is the firmware hack for the mirror lock function, I've never had any problems with it. And DSLR Focus.

As for lenses. After getting a 50mm f/1.8 prime lense (about $160) I've not used the zooms. Mind you I do have a 2X teleconverter. I just find it a lot less mucking about. Though I do recall reading hear somewhere by cventer that you can focus your lenses automatically using DSLR Focus. Since reading this I haven't had any clear skies to try it out, so the sooms mightn't be as much of a problem as before. (Am I right in this Chris, or did I mis-read something?) One thing about the EF zooms though (I have the 25-90, 35-80 and the 80-200) is that they all exhibit chromatic aberation to one degree or another (well the ones I have do). The 50mm prime seems to be less affected.
