Canon 350D: My Digital Rebel

Finally, and after so much waiting and delaying, I got myself a DSLR camera; I am now the proud owner of a Canon 350D

Canon 350D

I simply love it… This is a great and fun camera… And it covers all my needs for the time being…

The kit comes with a Canon 18-55mm lens, and I also got it a Tamron 70-300mm lens, a tripod and a really nice Mekko bag.

Expect more photos here and on my flickr from now on as I discover the different settings of the camera and go wild snapping shots of everything around me.

  1. @Mira: Thanks πŸ™‚ It is a great camera, so I have to agree.

    @Skydancer: Ybarek feek πŸ™‚ Swifty told me you bought a dslr a few weeks ago but he wasn’t sure which one. So a Canon 70-300mm, cool, a bit expensive though, I had to settle for the Tamron with my budget.
    You should start seeing the results soon.

    @Tom: Thanks πŸ™‚ Some shots should start making their way online soon.

    @Taz: Oh whatever, the 400D doesn’t have that much more going for it over the 350D πŸ˜›
    And yes, I think we should start a Canon user group soon, we sure have enough people for it.

  2. Congratulations on the new purchase!
    You’ll love the camera.

    I had it before upgrading to the 400D (XT and XTi here in North America) and yes sadly it has a great add-on over the 350D :the dust cleaning feature. So try to avoid dusty places as much as possible when switching lenses. Cleaning the sensor is a real PITA. Be careful!

    If you want, you can spend some time on these forums:
    http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php
    http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/
    The first is more noob-friendly while the second is more oriented toward professional photography but both are great IMHO.

    There is a good eBook too: “A Short Course in Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Photography”. As I said before the Rebel XT is the name of the 300D here in Nth America.
    If you can’t find it online, I can send it to you by sloooow mail on a CD πŸ˜‰

  3. @Karim: Expect me in some your next photoblogger meetups and outings πŸ˜‰

    @lot: Thanks man πŸ™‚ And yeah I know about the dust cleaning feature in the 400D, but for an extra 200 Euros, I chose not to care too much about it πŸ˜› I’ll be taking extra care when changing lenses though.
    Thanks for the tip, I found the ebook and it looks very interesting; I’ve already forwarded it to my other friends who have the same cam. Thanks for the links too πŸ™‚

    @Lowe: A photography club is a great idea πŸ™‚ I’m all for it.
