Hey Brian, I know you've seen many of my pics. I have the Canon 20D with a 28 - 135 mm lens. Very versitile lens for taking pics. One other "must" is a large memory card. I have a 4MB CF disk drive and never run out of storage. I used to use 256MB CF cards and when they got full, pic time's over until you download to the PC. The 4MB is the same way but takes forever to fill.

With a large mega pixel camera, shoot wider than you want and crop later.

For sure check into a package deal.

>>I'm a point and shoot kind of guy and I don't have a huge amount of expertise when it comes to the right lenses to use. 97 % of all the photos I take are of my snakes.

>>I want to be the man version of Celia (I hope that came out right). Celia please take that as a compliment. If I've ever taken a good photograph it was only by luck.
