Should I buy a clear or UV filter to protect my digital camera?I recently bought a Nikon D80 with a Nikon vr lens 18-200mm and want to buy a filter to keep on the lens at all times for protection without compromising color, focus or lighting.
Any suggestions?

UV, it cuts down a little on flares on the lens, just dont cheap on the filter how ever. Get a good one like the Hoya's multi coat if you can swing about $ 50.

I would certainly recommend it, particularly after one incident with my Godchild, a toddler than, who managed to open my camera bag, remove the lens cap and stick her finger on the lens and leave a huge red candy gooey glob on the filter... it was easy for me to clean the filter... and in fact, I would not have minded replacing the filter... a filter doesn't cost as much as lens, right? I can't even begin to imagine how much dust and airborne dirt I've avoided by using the UV filters on ALL of my lenses... I don't take chances now!

Yep. A UV filter is good.
