Wow, I have the same setup you do except for the flash. I have an Eos Elann IIe as well and just got my dRebel this week. Cool. Congrats.

The DREBEL is a heck of a camera. I just recently converted from that stuff, I think they call it film. The DREBEL was my first. Now I've added a 10D to the arsenal. This forum has proven to be an invaluable asset. If you can't get the answers here, that means there is no answer. :lol:

Be warned that they will first want you to buy cards and grips, bags and filters. Then they will show you the L :twisted: Then you will spend all of your money on L's!

:lol:

Welcome! This is a great website!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I think that it is somewhat ironic that you should make your first post on a thread with all the members lauding L lenses. I predict that you will go broke buying lenses faster than the average new member!

Hi and welcome!

I havn't seen a L in person. I was in the local camera store last weekend and that was the first time that they had the Digital Rebel in stock. So I am looking at it thinking how long I would have to go without eating to pay for it :lol: and a L. I then ask if they had any L's in stock. The Nikon guy looked and said sorry, we don't keep L's in stock. :( Then he tried to sell me a Nikon. :lol:

oh yes the 310D club, mmm... yummy. You will definitely have to look into the firmware to see if it is your cup of tea.

Speaking of that, when do I get my 310D membership card ctrlz?

hahaha ez fix have photoshop/paint and a printer?
type "Offcial Member of the 310d Club"
and print
it'll get you into any event you want!! :D
maybe we should make it offcial
but then i could see canon asking if us are we members and then voiding our warranties and laughing at us

It's true about the whole L lens thing. I bought a 300D and was just reading the posted threads trying to learn more and suddenly a 17-40 L appeared in my bag. Weird.

Hi and welcome!

I have a 380EX which I use with my 10D. I don't see why it wouldn't also work with the 300D.

It's a good flash which has always been plenty good enough for everything I've done with it. It doesn't swivel but other than that it's fine.

All the best,
/Phil.
