So, my dad and I decided to get one of these together. My old Minolta is kinda boring. Compared to other simpler cams and their 3x, 10x optical zoom, what does the included 18-55mm lens equal to?

Alright, we bought it today along with a Canon 75-300mm zoom lens. Charging the battery now. One annoying thing though, the guy at the store sold me the wrong type of memory card, so no photocising until tomorrow when get the card replaced.
..and to answer my own question, the 18-55mm lens equals to about 2-3x zoom according to the store.
Well, atleast I can play around with the 300mm zoom tonight :)

that looks like a real nice camera! i don't think i can get into digital photography, maybe i'm too traditional...i'll just stick with my trusty Minolta HTsi.
now if i could only afford one of those hasselblad medium format cameras! :)*drools*

I can't wait to try all the different manual settings. I don't think I've ever used a camera before that offered manual focus. Pretty scary huh?

i just got a FUJI FinePx S3000, it's really great.
i got a free 64mb card with it, so i have that and a 16mb one for fewer pictures.
i am gonna try it out with my kitty kots, and later with people when i get more adept. there are so many menu's on the camera and i've not completed reading the 100+ page owners manual
i wanna experiment most with night photo's ... like sunsets, lightning, etc

Heheh. Elusive, I'm insured up to my ears, so go ahead. Also, Digital Rebel is the same model as 300D. Different name in EU and America.
LeCoeur, I was considering the Fuji Finepix S5000 (10x zoom) and Olympus Camedia C750, also 10x zoom. Then my dad got interested in getting a proper camera too, so we decided to get the Canon.

I think my boss has a EOS-1D? If I'm not wrong. I have this one below now... It is enough for me at the moment.....didnt pay much either. but I really would like to have the new sony DSC-F828 becouse of the mechanic zoom, the DSC-F717 hasnt got that.

I'm in love with this cam! I've been trying it indoors for an hour now. I can't wait until the winter is over. It's frikkin pitch black outside when I leave for work and when I go home. Weekend is here soon though, maybe I can get a couple of hours practice outside.
I understand now why the shutter speed on my phone cam is so long (it's easy to take blurry shots with it). I set the EOS to 4000 and pointed at a light bulb. The image turned out nearly black. Man that's fast.

sorry, must have missed this thread. until now...
yeah... i finally got the cam after some "trouble", along with a 512 Mb CF card. Bought the body only, w/o the 18-55 lens, so I have no idea how it would perform, but after what I've read it's a great buy, considering it only costs about $100.
my other EF lenses are fully compatible with the 300D tho.... except for 1.6x factor... it's a great addition to my normal SLR EOS 33 whatsoever....
the image quality of 300d is the same as the 10d, that's OK for me. im sure you can comprimise the lack of features in 300d with photo experience skills.
paco: which one of the three models of 75-300 did you buy?

The III model. It was 3000kr, 2500 for me since I bought a camera also. The packaging doesn't say if it's USM or DC, but the DC is cheaper so mine is probably the USM.
The box says: EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
I think there's a IS version out there also. The little 18-55 is great, but you can't get one separately, not new anyway.

Turns out we have a stable of EOS users at work. No one with a digital one though. Also, I got this skylight filter today, Hoya 1b.
Long exposure times are fun to try in different situations. This was taken from my kitchen. I put the EOS on my table and ran with auto. It settled for 13s of exposure. This is so amazing, no flash and a pitch black room.

get a UV-filter for your lens to protect it from scratches and dust. it's far much cheaper to replace a filter than a lens in case of an accident.
300D is a great cam! much more solid and heavier than I thought. it look kinda plastic on pictures. 6 megapixels will keep you entertained for a while :-)
the ef 50mm 1.8 II is a cheap lens to have in your kit too.... extremely good for low-light conditions... you dont even need a flash when you're inside. if you have money, get the 1.4 version.....

I'll get more filters when there's actually daylight again and I'm outdoors alot more. I'll just use the Hoya for now.
Phobia, är det normalt med lite glapp vid fokusringen. Jag menar att objektivet går att röra i sidled när man ska pilla på fokuseringen. Den inre delen rör sig lite i sidled. Det är bara på min EF-S 18-55mm.

-- swedish language - ignore --
det låter inte normalt... den bör sitta fast ordentligt. btw, om du skakar lite lätt på din kamera, skramlar det lite grann från där den inbyggda blixten sitter, låter som någon lös plastbit?

Det står i manualen att skramlet kommer ifrån sensorn som kollar kamerans läge, tydligen helt normalt. Om du tiltar den så vet kameran att du tar bilder i porträtt position. Det har nog att göra med auto rotate funktionen där kameran automatiskt vänder bilderna rätt i LCDn.
Ska ta lite julbilder i centrala stan imon så ska passa på o fråga om glappet i affären.
Det glappar ordentligt. Bilden i sökaren rör sig om jag ska justera fokus manuellt.

I already bought it, Phobia. About 3 weeks before they lowered the price from 6495:- to 4995:-
I'm investigating proper telephoto lenses for the summer.
So far it's between these: Sigma EX 50-500, 80-400 OS or.. Canon 100-400, 300/4, 70-200/2.8
The sigmas look really nice. I'll have to wait for the 80-400 to be released and tested first. I'll probably order from the US.
