If you are finding it difficult to know which digital video camera accessories to buy, then try to consider your needs first. There are video cameras today that are a just too big. There are some that are used by professionals that may be propped up on the shoulder. There are still ones as small as the mobile phone. If you choose the small and compact size to begin with, then you will not be using a professional flash or video light to go with it. The most you can probably get for this type of camera would probably be a memory card, an extra battery, a strap, if it did not come with one when you purchased it, a camera case, or a tripod.

A nice thing to get would be a camera case to fit in all the standard accessories that come with your camera. This is very convenient, especially when you are traveling - have a bag where the universal serial bus (USB) cable, power cord, and adapter can fit in. That way, you are more or less sure that you will not leave something behind.

When choosing your camera case, try to see if you can get a waterproof one. This will really help protect your camera and accessories if by some chance you get caught out in the rain, or when you have to cross water when you are off on a fishing trip, or once you are somewhere in the woods. It is a small investment to make for the price of your camera.

Memory cards are dependent on how long a video that you want to shoot is. These little things cost quite a bundle, so if you really do not plan to shoot a full-length movie, maybe a 1Gb or 2Gb memory card would suffice. With these, you can take a 30-minute to 1-hour video, depending on the camera and type of memory card. You could just upload this video into your computer for future use. This frees you memory card again for another shoot.

You may want to consider getting a cleaning kit for your camera. This includes a lens brush, a lint-free cloth, and a lens cleaner spray. This will ensure tiptop shape of your lenses as long as you periodically maintain them. It is really important that you take good care of the lenses of your camera. This determines how well the picture will be taken. If there is a deep scratch on the surface, you may notice some distortion on the video you are taking.

Try visiting a camera store near you so you can view your options on digital video camera accessories.
