#1. Every photographer needs to have a SLR camera body to equip them to take picture to his/her full potential.
#2. What is the use of an expensive camera body without a good lens to go with it. I would suggest something with a fairly wide range to avoid having to change the lens very often and risk getting dust in your camera. The Nikon 18-200mm would be a good choice.
#3. Next important item would be a tripod. There are potentially great shots that are ruined because of camera shake which is easily resolved by using a tripod. A tripod it especially useful when photographing at night.
#4. The fourth item would be an external flash. Used as a fill in flash and in many other ways. Keep in mind that these types of flashes are not inexpensive. My suggestion would be to by a name brand flash. With a lens, filters, tripod, and other items one can get away with not using name brand items, but the flash is one item I would suggest using a well known name brand.
#5. Last but not least is a camera bag for your equipment. This probably should have been at the top of the list, because without a proper bag to store your equipment all the expensive equipment is very easily damaged. I would suggest using a backpack that is specially designed for cameras. Many times they even come with a place to store your camera, which is very helpful for the digital photographer.

I definitely agree that some things like flashes need to be the name brand equipment. Somethings just are done better with the big names. The money is worth every penny in your equipment.
