Hi Cab, Welcome to the forum.

As Jeff said, the only FILTER you need is probably a polariser, but I used caps for a reason, If you are considering a UV filter to protect your front element the there is no benefit using a UV filter with digital, just get a plain glass protective 'filter'.

There is already a strong and very effective UV filter built int your camera body, it's directly in front of the sensor, it also filters out IR and prevents moir© from making patterns if you photograph somebody with a striped shirt.

If you are considering colour tinted filters, again they are not needed with digital. In post processing using almost any software you are able to adjust the colour tints easily and revert if you don't like the effect.
