Last tuesday evening I ordered them, and just over an hour ago they came in: my new toys. I'm talking about my brandnew Canon EOS 400D!!! I started out with the kit lens (18-55), and I'll get going with that, trying some stuff with this lens. And I just might order another in the future, but you have to start somewhere, right ;)

I immediately made some shots, and I'm glad I bought the camera already. Maybe I'll post some pics I make in the future. And by the way: if anyone has any tips on some good (online) photography courses, let me know, or drop a line in the comments. ;)

Update:
I remembered I had a tripod laying around here somewhere. I asked for it a couple of years ago, to use with my Sony DSC S85. I never used it extensively, but that's gonna change now my new friend is here! For those of you who are interested: I have a Giottos VT-808 tripod. I added a picture on the right.

Happy (photo) snapping!

I've just picked up this camera too and the Canon 75-300 zoom lens.

I would suggest your first purchase is a 58mm UV filter which does nothing but prevent your kit lens getting scratched. I've also picked up a circular polarising filter which lets you cut out reflections and get more dramatic shots with little effort.

Hi Damien,

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a couple of friends who are in to DSLR's and stuff, so I knew about the UV Filter. It's already on there, protecting my lens.

The polarising filter might be interesting to, I'll look in to that! Thanks again.

Hej Rick,

Congrats with your camera!

Suggestion: Get a flickr.com account. GREAT (and cheap) online storage for your pictures! And read a lot of forums like 'fotografie' on http://gathering.tweakers.net.. it has great show-cases and howto's.

Last week, I bought the Nikon D80 with the famous 18-200 VR lens. Must say, also a fantastic camera; I'm really pleased with the results!

Hope to see some of your best pics soon!
