Thanks very much for the hopefully continuing guidance, and please add any additional thoughts, tips and tricks. I haven't jumped my still in 10yrs, and that camera (Canon 35mm film) is night and day compared to the new DSLR's capabilities. This site is the only resource available for this type of information I could find (please point me to others you may know of) as there are no local "still" camera flyers to get advice from, for myself, and I'm guessing many who are interested. Thanks again.
