I got my 300D... now what?

LOL... I'm just kidding. I finally recieved my Rebel last night and I think I really upset my cats taking about 100 pictures. I feel like I just joined a new club.

Upgrading from a G3, it will take a little time getting to know my new toy. I hope to post some pictures soon that can compare to the great shots alot of you have been posting. With spring here, I'm sure I will get plenty of chances.

Cheers,
Matt

i know how you feel man, it's awsome aint it?

Just remember though that personal blame is the inverse of quality equpiment...

The better the equpiment the less you have to blame anything but yourself.

So shut up and go snap some pictures!

Just a suggestion, I found this site extrememly helpful when I first started with my Digital Rebel.

The Canon Digital Learning Center (http://www.photoworkshop.com/canon/lessons_1-5.html)

Best of luck,

Thanks guys... I am browsing the site now. My next question is (like everyone else here) which lense to buy first.

Just gotta be patient to find it in stock...or impatient and annoy the boards until someone sells you theirs :twisted:

It all depends on your shooting needs (portraits, sports, landscape, etc.) Read the following to get a better idea:

BTW, give your cats a break :) Go out there and shoot something else.

Hope this helps.
