Well I received my new G3 with 256 mb card just a few days ago!!

I am new to the photo world and have alot to learn. I was wondering if there were any sites where one could learn about terms in the photo world.

Also any sites about the G3 and what settings to use for certain pictures. Tried taking some of the moon the other night and they were horrible. Also some night shots that looked like lava! LOL Probably cant hold the G3 in hand for that long of a shot to much movement.

Any ways got some reading to do and love the camera so far.

PS Paid 600 US delivered to the door with tax and shipping for the camera and card from B&H in NYC

Download http://www.shortcourses.com/guides/canon/g3guide.pdf and you know a lot about your camera. If you buy the complete guide you have a manual including PDF on CD.

Good luck and a lot of fun with your G3.
