Great Pixs - Thats all that i need to say!!! Si

^^^ Good point Rich Si

Well if its by the sea i would recommend getting a polarize lenses as that will give you a much better blue sky (assuming its a nice day obviously), but a just a UV lense will also be handy. You can get both from Jessops as thats where i got mine. The canon lens hood i saw were indeed not very...

A UV filter or 2 would be a good idea, Depending on your lenses diameter you may need 1 for each lense you plan on using. A lens hood will also be pretty much essential, though i have seen the Canon ones and they are not that good in my opinion, but any good camera shop will be able to help...
