Hehe... Birthday money ! I have a Canon 300D since last december (birthday time !) and I cry everytime I can't use it... It's amazing, and after about 2000-3000 pictures I really begin to play with all the tips it allows. I had a manual argentic reflex (Pentax) and a numeric Nikon coolpix. And waoooh, a DSLR is a real diamond. For the lenses, I have the "standard" 18-55 which is not so bad and bought a Tamron 28-105. It's a little bit short, but my next gift will probably be a wide angle (less than 18, but often expensive), 'cause I make a lot of landscapes, and maybe a macro. So good shopping, and enjoy your new toy !

Life is just a picture of our dreams
