When you buy a new camera you generally have an idea about that you'll need. Body, couple of lenses, bag, tripod etc.
However
What plugins are a class above the rest. I've heard of neatimage and noise ninja, these both sound very good. Are there a selection of other filters etc that might be useful for digital photography. I'm not overly interested with fancy borders etc but I'll look at most things.
I've already had a quick look at //www.thepluginsite.com
many thanks

Some plugins I find indispensible:
Not free:
NeatImage Pro (noise) $$$
(or noise ninja) $$$
FocusMagic (sharpening) $$
Fred Miranda SI Pro $$
Free:

Genuine Fractals is an outstanding image sizer. I use it upsize 35mb Nikon files up to 75mb for sale on stock sites. The results are very good

This Smart sharpener is also outstanding. Not cheap but offers a sharpening package that would take an age to create with Photoshop actions.
I don't use it for DP uploads as it tends to be a little 'subtle' (my first images were decribed as 'soft' by viewers)but it exceelent for large images and print work.
