I bought a duracell battery for my canon. I think it seems to last a bit longer than the Canon battery.. That might be my imagination though...

I am assuming you only have the kit lens 18-55??
I bought an 18-200 Tamron lens for my Canon and it works great! It does almost everything I could possibly want it to without the need to change lenses.
I bought this lens so I could travel a bit lighter when I visited Japan last month.
It's made my 18-55 lens obsolete, but means I'm not constantly having to change lenses.
The only thing I would have done differently would have been to buy an 18-300 lens instead.
Now I am considering buying one with a larger zoom, but it is low down on the spend list at the moment. (I like (trying to) take moon pictures.)

As already said, get a couple of large high speed SD cards.
