Thanks man  :). I am really liking it, but i am also pretty clueless lol...just playing around with the settings and working out the different results really!

Im just using the standard 18-55mm canon lense that comes with the body kit, and also a 'Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens' which i am pretty happy with. Nothing special, but for someone of my experience they are more than enough! As for the quality though, compressing/resizing has reduced it massively, wish i could show you the originals!

You did own a 350D allready, didn't you? Or am I mistaken?

Anyway, you'll enjoy your new camera. Just back myself from a concert-shoot... over 650 photo's in 4 hours... and now the post-processing begins...  ;D

whoa! that 150 has flip-flop radios  :o ;D  The 152s I occasionally fly don't have the luxury of the standby feature.  

Nice set of shots.  Congrats on the DSLR.
