Nice. I always liked the Mark 7’s. Since you’ve got a new SLR you should screw with aperture settings or something and take some more pics that don’t look like they were taken with a point & shoot. ---

yeah, im still trying to figure out how everything works…there is a lot to learn with this camera, and honestly today was the first time i was actually able to go out and use it. i just wanted to get comfortable doing some really basic shots with it, but i hope and intend to be able to use this camera to its full potential. ---

Cool. I guess the Canon SLR’s are supposed to be pretty bad ass pieces of equipment. Should be fun. :tup: ---

the hardest part for me so far has been trying to find time to just sit down and read the instructions lol. the book is about a half inch thick…and its only in one language (thank god its English) so i’ve got some reading to do for sure. ---
