EOS 400D

[350wedge]

Quick question....

Has anyone else here got a 400D yet?? I've treated myself as its my birthday at the weekend and ordered one. Should have it early next week hopefully...

As and when it stops raining i'll try and get some piccies up later next week...!!

Bought one in Japan 3 weeks ago. It's my first DSLR but I'm mighty happy with it. The lens you get with it is OK, nothing more.

Would that be the standard 18-55 lens?

[robbieduncan]

That would indeed. I've upgraded to an EF-S 17-85 IS USM which seems to be a lot better build and takes better pictures.

I put a zip of a few pics up for another forums here www.robbieduncan.net/TokyoExamples.zip The first two pics are the standard 18-55, the other 4 are with the 17-85...

A stroll round the Emperors palace I see. Immaculate isn't it.

The dragon water fall - was that at the shrine just up from Yoyogi park at the back of the tube station ?

The dragon was in Kyoto actually. Did visit the Meji shrine as well though...

I just got one yesterday!

Got the Tamron 70 - 300mm lens with it too for £99. Probably not the best one in the world but it takes awesome pics by my standard! Can't wait to get used to all the different possibilities. Previously had a Sony V1 (prosumer thing) so not a total stranger to the world of photography but this is my first proper SLR and so far very impressed.

First crap photo attempt:
