Happy day for me!!! :clap

Just ordered a Canon 20D, two lenses, Lowepro Nature Trekker AW 11 back pack, 2 gig of memory, Manfrotto Tri-pod, extra battery, lens hoods, and upgrade for photoshop CS. (from B&H)

Look out Andy :wink I will be heading to the city (when I learn how to use this thing:rolleyes ) Harry I was going to go with Nikon, but changed my mind at the last moment.

I still will have my F717, and hope to start posting here regularly. I have been hanging out and really like Digital Grin. :thumb

Thanks

    Welcome to Dgrin Dean wave.gif


    I have to agree with the Andy and Gus, you are in for a treat clap.gif Coming from a 717, you are going to be amazed. Not to say that the 717 is chopped liver. It's a stellar performer, in it's own right thumb.gif

    Not sure if you'll ever need the spare battery though. The 20D's battery lasts even longer than the 717's :wow

    Let us know hat you think of it after you've had a chance to play with it. Matter of fact, post some of your 1st pics thumb.gif


    Congrats and good shooting,

    Hey Steve...
    Sure... will post ASAP. It should ship out Monday from B&H.
    May take a few days to get the basics down. I have a project for work already. I have to shoot our stonewalls on our property at work. We have miles of them. Making large prints and postcards of them.thumb.gif

    Also looking forward to shooting RAW.

    Thanks
    Dean

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Well...
    I got the 18-55 that came with the kit and a Canon 55-200.
    I am just learning DSLR and was not sure what to get.
    So these should be a good start I hope?headscratch.gif

    Thanks
