I got this book when I first started with DSLR's a few years ago, and it helped me a lot. http://www.amazon.com …oks&qid=1273663995&sr=8-1 Enjoy your hobby. It is fun (and addicting). Thanks for the link. I was looking for something like that. The book will probably get here before my camera Canon 550D ( T2i ) | Canon EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS | Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS | Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II | Canon 430EX II Flash | Manfrotto Tripod

I went to the store to get a $400 G11 and ended up with a T1i kit, 55-250 EFS, and a 50mm F1.8. That's substantially more than $400. It's been great so far though. 7D - - 17-55 F/2.8 - 24-105 F/4L - 100mm F/2.8 - 50mm F/1.8 - S95 / To see all click here
