Are there any essential accessories i should get w/ a Canon hv30 camcorder...?

Question

...or should i just get the camcorder by itself with what already comes with it. I was thinking maybe a mini table-top tripod but is there anything else that is missing in the package they give you that i should think about getting?

Answer 1

If your PC hasn't already got one you'll need a firewire card and a firewire cable.

Answer 2

i would get an extra battery, a microphone, a tripod, and a carrying case.
