What lens did you get the standard or one of the add on packs. Don't put this one down on the table at Port80, it will disappear!

It is a steep learning curve, but the end results should be worth it. Mind you I can’t really comment, I went from a fully manual film SLR, to a high end (ie manual controls) compact digital camera and now to a stick in my pocket point and shoot digital camera.

I think I'll be upgrading sometime in the next 6 months from my Fujifilm Finepix F700 - it's served me well, but I do miss my 30 year old Ricoh XR-1 SLR; so I'm keen to move to a DSLR. I've found myself relying too much on the automatic controls rather than taking the time to compose the scene, do the light measurements, calculate the exposure - which is half the fun (and all the professionalism) of photography.

Guess great minds think alike! We can't get over our new "depth of field" capabilities... very slick. Wow! Guess great minds think alike!
