So when did everybody decide to jump on the photography bandwagon??? It's kind of confusing with every complaining about money being tight but yet people are hopping on DSLR's like there giving them away free at wal-mart or something! Keep practicing emil, only turning on the camera and using it will get you familiar with your camera. Looks like Im gonna have to get my IS lens sooner then I thought to rep for the CANON'S!
DSLR for beginners are cheap. There not as cheap as a normal point and shoot like every girl has on myspace. But you get the point.
OO and also, don't worry about the bandwagon bullshit. Just keep on shooting, don't lie its a fun hobby.
And Roly Nikon & Canon are the at the same level.
