And although I have read your 12 tips for beginners (soooo useful!) I will be re-reading them again when the new camera arrives. Cannot wait until aperture and shutter speeds become second nature... but will be happy to stay in Auto mode to start with. Thanks for your thoughts on that Mandy.

And yes you're right I do like having both to play with!!! It's handy to have a zoom lens and a prime lens, it gives you more options and the 50mm is so reasonably priced?

I plan to keep it in auto mode for a bit but am dying to get better depth of field, try some macro and get better low-light shots. I noticed you praise your 50mm f/1.8 lens and I wondered - if you had your time again, would you just buy the camera body and that 50mm lens, and not worry about the 18.55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens that comes when you buy the camera in a 'kit'? Or do you like having both to play with? Thanks - happy snapping. Love your awesome advice.

I'd say they'd be easier to transfer images onto while out shooting than using a laptop? How about an Epson P-6000 80gb Multimedia storage unit or a LaCie Rugged portable hard drive?

Am going to Ireland for a month. Anyone have any suggestions for an Inexpensive netbook so I can store pix instead of take a zillion flash cards? Is there a better way? Do not want a laptop, too big. Can I just upload pics raw data to google or email to myself? New to this technology. Need help, please. I shoot with a canon 7d. Am going to Ireland for a month.
