Finally, and after so much waiting and delaying, I got myself a DSLR camera; I am now the proud owner of a 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.
bienvenu au club!
Y a pas mieux que le 350D :p
Mabrouk!

hohoooo

cool DSLR and great stuffs
i’ll be waiting for your shots soon 😉
Nanananere , moi j’ai le 400 D :p
Bienvenu au club, on devrait cr
@Mira: Thanks 🙂 It is a great camera, so I have to agree.
@Skydancer: Ybarek feek 🙂 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 🙂 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 😛
And yes, I think we should start a Canon user group soon, we sure have enough people for it.
As usual , welcome in the club, the competition seems going far 🙂
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://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 😉
… aaah !!!
@Karim: Expect me in some your next photoblogger meetups and outings 😉
@lot: Thanks man 🙂 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 😛 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 🙂
@Lowe: A photography club is a great idea 🙂 I’m all for it.
