I’ve decided to get into photography, and I just impulse bought my first camera, a Pentax Q10:

Yes that’s Evangelion themed. No I don’t want to talk about how much I paid.

I’m really excited for it to arrive. What kind of kit should I get to take care of it? I’m assuming some kind of carry case, but I’ve no idea if I need something specialised or generic. Have you got any other tips for taking care of it?

Many thanks!

EDIT: Thanks so much for everyone’s advice! It sounds like I shouldn’t get anything too prematurely, but there’s also a lot stuff I should consider early on once I’ve got a feel for the camera.

    To this end, Beyond Point and Shoot by Darrel Young is a really good book for beginners looking for technical advice and understanding the jargon. I don’t know OPs current skill level ofc, but it helped me a lot
