Here is a good starting point for an equipment checklist for a digital camera owner going out on location. We will develop a more extensive one for those of you becoming very serious amateurs, or junior professionals.

• camera

• camera how-to manual (just in case you forget how some obscure process works)
• camera bag
• coins (I always have some loose change in my camera bag)
• lens hoods and lens caps
• extra batteries
• battery charger(s)
• extra memory cards (formatted)
• lenses
• lens cases
• cleaning kit
• tripod
• remote shutter release cable
• external flash
• batteries for external flash
• documentation for all equipment (in case you traverse a national boundary, or lose equipment to theft; also good if you need to verify you have everything when re-packing)
• memory card reader and USB cable (in case you need to leave copies of photos with another person)
