I am so happy I finally have a good camera. I just got my Rebel XTi today. I am using a 28-90 and a 75-300 lens I already had from my Rebel XT 35 mm. This shot was taken right out of the box on auto no flash mode.

Sorry that shot was with the Tamron 75-300 lens. I can see now that I look at the photo I still have some things to learn. LOTS more photos to come soon. Any pointers would be great. I have 2 150W MH lights with no supplemental lighting which I am finding to be a bit of a challenge with my photos.
 
My XTi finally came in the mail this morning too.. unfortunately i'm in the middle of exams and really shouldn't spend too much time playing with it.

The first thing I think I need to do is toss the kit lens and find something new, decisions decisions.

I hope you enjoy yours.
 
Rosseau. I did not get the kit lens. I am using my kit lens from my of Rebel XT 35mm camera. Which I belive is the same lens. That what I was just doing was shopping for a new lens. I am going to have to save up, I just spent all my toy money for a little while getting the XTi body. I am leaning toward the Canon 100mm fixed f/2.8 but like I said that will be a while you can get it on e-bay for around 400. Keep me posted on how you like yours.
 
Yeah my kit lens is a 18-55mm, no USM, no IS. I personally don't know enough to comment on how bad it is.. but thats the word out there. I got a decent deal for the new camera and kit lens on eBay, really the only reason I have this lens.


That 100mm looks pretty nice i'm debating that one. I think i'll hold off until my bank account recovers and for now replace the kit lens.

I've seen a few of the 100mm's on eBay this week finalize at $450 used to $500 new, it's worth a look.

eBay can be sketchy but can work well too. I was selling an old sony point and shoot last week and nearly got scammed pretty bad.. fortunately I sniffed that out before I could lose anything.
