Nice camera, I have been looking at them for a while now but I went with another 35mm. It's the best digital on the market right now for the money but they still can't beat the old film cameras. What do you have for lenses?

oh wait the rebel is the one with interchangable lenses, can you change the lenses with the eos?

Bob,

That's money better spent than on car mods! Your pictures are already great and this is going to make it that much easier "to get the shot"! You better start saving up for some lenses because that's where the real $$ are going to go, LOL.

You can use any EF, EFS or EOS Canon made lens as well as a number of Sigma, Tameron, Quantaray etc lenses. I would only stick to the Canon and Sigma lenses myself tho.

A lof of Canon guys like the 24-70 USM L lens, its a great quality lens, but it was designed for 35mm cameras, the digital Canon's aside for the 1D Mark II have 24mm CCD sensors so a 24-70 is an effective 38-112 lens, no real eide angle action, that is why the give you an 18-55. Sigma just came out with a 18-125 lens which is awesome quality, I use it on my D70 and I highly recomend it.

Yeah.. finally got a new SLR.

This is the first one that *wasn't* an Olympus.. but I like what Canon came up with here.

The Sigma Lenses (18mm-125mm) sound good.. how's the coating on these lenses??

I've been in the Digital arena for a while, and they finally came to a price point that's favorable to the performance now.

Link to Sigma 18-125mm

http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/len...87&navigator=6

Its multi coated to get rid of reflections and ghosting, Ive gotten realy good results from it w/o any aberation. Very resonably priced as well, usualy in the $250 range.

The Olympus D-SLR's are no where close to the Canon and Nikon, they have lower quality smaller CCD's lower lens quality and so on. Canon and Nikon are the only ways to go in high end cameras.
