Just bought a T2i

Should get here next week. Took me forever to find one in stock. I'm as excited as my sons on Christmas Eve. Just thought I'd share. :spin1:

Try not to piddle when the truck shows up.

Maybe some puppy training pads around the front entry just in case?

I can use some of the ones left over from training my lab... lol.

I got the EF 75-300 Zoom Lens in the mail yesterday, camera body is still on order. It came with the package I purchased at Best Buy.com. How's the quality of this lens? Seems like it would do the job for amateur photography. Or should I sell it and buy a better one?

It's not great but there's no reason why you shouldn't use it while you're learning. Careful, photography can snowball just like reef keeping, only it's more expensive.

I can see that. Went online shopping for a macro lens. Nice to see many cost more than the T2i kit I just bought. :lmao:

I've read the macro lens post. Great info. One question: Is it worth it paying the extra cash to get a Canon lens to shoot aquarium scenes and outdoor nature closeups? If not, what value macro lens would you recommend to use with a Canon DSLR (T1i, T2i, etc.)

Thanks.
