Hi POTN, found you guys from a=having a search around google.

I've been out and bought myself a Canon 550D today and decided to make a photography forum my home, and this looked the best and friendliest.

My photography experience is with compact cameras only but have been dying to get into SLRs and with a bonus from work imminent it was time to take the step and go for it.

I've had a quick look at my purchase and to say i'm impressed is an understatement.

Looking forward to sharing and being part of POTN.

:D

(Hopefully the 74 of my username will drop soon)

Welcome to POTN...before going any further remember...take a strong stance for or against (it doesn't really matter, which) UV filters, always recommend glass before body upgrades and hate Ken Rockwell more than Satan himself...then you'll fit right in!

Welcome, '74!

You might as well decide right now that your bank account balance is going to go through wild swings on a regular basis...especially if you check the sales pages often. There are also lots of helpful folks here who will help you in your buying decisions (and are available for LOTS of tech help). Best of luck with your new obsession!

Regards!
Don

Welcome. I recommend you read the STICKYS at the head of the Camera & Lens forums. Lots of great info there.

Even better yet, read these stickies at the top of the Small Flash and Studio Lighting and General Photography Talk sections. They teach about taking actual pictures rather than measurebating and obsessing over gear. :)
