Hello all, I just bought a nice little package today :

Cannon Rebel XTi w/ 18-55mm lens (ultimately I'll get other ones)
2 4hr batteries
Rapid Charger
UV Filter
LCD Protector
Tripod
Cleaning Kit
3 Yr. Prof. Warranty

Not a bad deal at $999 shipped!

This is really my first camera, so I'm pretty excited to see what it can do!

Congrats and DO feel free to ask anything! Not that I personally can answer all questions. But I came off a 300D to plunge into the adventurous waters of a 5D and have found all the guys and gals here to be exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Sometimes one feels leery about asking what we personally might perceive to be a stupid question. But the people here don't beat you over the head with it. I gave up the Dpreview zoo and have found this place quite a comfy fit indeed.

I just hope in time I'll have gained the necessary knowledge to give back that which I've received here. Good stuff....stick around....you'll love it!! ;)

Glad to hear someone else feels that way about DPREVIEW. Oh my goodness, it feels like a war over there all the time. Posters are rude and seems it is all about make someone else look stupid. I never see such behavior here. Oh how I enjoy my time on POTN. Perhaps they will get better now that Yahoo bought them.

That kind of behavior isn't tolerated here. People that can't play well with others are dealt with in an appropriate fashion and you will get your questions answered in some meaningful fashion. I won't go so far as to say you won't ever have anyone give you a smart @$$ answer...because it does happen...and we do tend to tease and joke a bit. But you should never find yourself being abused here.:D

Welcome to the wonderful world of photography, and of course, this great forum. You just learned your first lesson: How to spend your money on camera equipment, the rest is downhill.;)

We could fix that...

But we wont. :D
