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.

Oh, and some sort of bag that works for you. You can get something nice from LowePro, but, if you are on a budget or want to blend in, an old trick is to just use diaper bags or similar (they're padded, innocuous, and many of them make great camera bags that don't scream "STEAL ME!").
