Received my new 20D tonight!

This is the first true SLR I have had since my many years with the F1 (not N). . . . so I have a lot to absorb.

Can anyone give me a basic set of starting settings for my first outing tommorow?

By the way, KUDOS to B&H! I ordered a lens on Tuesday prior to leaving "on the road". Evidently they called Wednesday to "confirm" the order. I did not get the message until this evening when I returned and called them just a little upset that they did not ship. They immeadiately went the extra mile to get it out overnight for Saturday delivery, Good business people!

Bit difficult not knowing what you might be shooting, landscape, sport portrait etc.

Absense of subject you are shooting, stick it on auto and see how it goes and then start trying out settings as you need them, move on to P. I would begin by tackling the ISO for starters.

Probably city landscape in Providence and the riverfront.
