Lol yeah dan said canon sucks big balls but I got it anyway since I got a good deal for it on black Friday and a cheap 50 -250 lense

Thus far I’m happy with it just gotta get together with dan when he shoots more stuff so I can practice

Nice, welcome to the canon family. You will definitely be able to take some nice pics with that. Keep shooting and save your pennies for some nice glass now, good luck with it!

thanks ! hopefully it serves me well, i have had nothing but shitty digital cameras so i hope this one i can keep for a while.

speaking of lenses there are a few really good deals out there but i cannot afford them due to lack of income and holidays coming up but i figured i would pass this link along to anyone inetersted in new glass for canons ( maybe ill buy it from them eventually lol )

[http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24069](http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24069)

looks like they give a good blur for the background which is what i want but do not have funds for at the moment

edit i did buy a 50-250 lens but nothing special

Have you considered the 50mm 1.8 from Canon. It has long been touted as the must have budget lens for its sharpness and wide aperture. Also super handy for shooting indoors or low light. They go new for around 100 on most major camera sites.

since i just got the camera i really havent, i spoke with dan ( cfd ) and he told me also that i should grab one of those but the zoom lens was on sale with my camera purchase ( 150 bucks off ) so i picked it up and hope to grab the 50mm one later on since they are usually pretty cheap and no need to wait for a sale

Which zoom lens did you get? If the 55-250IS is the one you got, that’s actually a pretty decent starter lens.
