New Toy: Canon EOS 450D / KISS X2

[cornerstone]

I just got this new toy in the hope that it can improve my golf swing...I mean my photographs.

Basically - Ken, step aside, there is a new photo king in town

So lots of prize winning watch shots to come!

Anyway - my question to the experts is this - how do I turn the loud 'beep' off for when I'm taking photos of the woman next door sunbathing topless?

Oooh!! Very nice, G! Be ready to start spending some money! Those lenses tend to really add up!

Congrats my friend,

It's a beauty.

Just got myself a Nikon D60 and realise how poor my photo knowledge is

Damn, these Reflex are totaly different.

Cheers

But at least the lenses have longevity

That is true that the lenses outlast the camera (children-induced accidents aside). 12 Megapixels is going to seem retarded when the one-click 3mm 100 Megapixel Sony Easyshot comes out or whatever

Which can only mean....must buy more lenses!

Stephane - I have realised exactly what you mean. I thought I was pretty good at standing in front of something and pressing the button (!) then I try it with a real camera and they're all terrible. But, when they're right - they're absolutely outstanding.

I'm just keen for some more daylight so I can use it again.

It came in 1 day from Hong Kong incidentally - whoa the rep guys need to step up their game!! The idea with buying it was to lock in the old exchange rate - I noticed that the US dollar had shifted up at last, but some sellers were still selling at the old rate in my local currency.
