Thanks for your advice everyone! It's going to be hard for me to purchase all this addional stuff, I'm lucky if I can affort the camera! It's kind of frustrating because I really love taking pictures, and I'm not happy with the results of my S5 for a long time now. I just feel there's more I could do with a cam, but I just don't have the money!

Right now I have the Sony alpha 100 here, but that's only for a couple of weeks.
