Default Just Got An Early Crimbo Pressie

Wanted one for years, but think this going to become a very expensive hobbie



Cheers to stu for all the advice

Gonna get me a dslr but gonna wait till the replacment for the 400d comes out early next year. Any reason why you chose the 350d over the 400d? Also what lenses do you have?

I chose the 350 on the advice that it is a decent first digi slr, and is good all round camera. ive only got a 75-300mm lens at the mo, going to get an 18-55mm as soon as possible. tbh im a novice, i dont really know which lenses i need

Just joined the club too.

Got me a Canon 400D at the weekend.

Only got the 18-55 lens, but its a good starting point for a novice like me.

400D, bag and a 2gb Extreme III CF card for Ł472.

Just sent off for the Ł50 cashback on the camera.
