Very nice Rich. I see you heeded some advice......very nice young man..... Seriously, you'll love that setup. Once you get comfortable with the camera itself, you'll start tweeking with this setting and that setting and before you know it you'll be shooting great shots.

Anytime you want to play, call me and we'll go out to shoot somewhere.

BTW guys, the Canon vs Nikon thing is really moot. Both are at the top of the heap when it comes to DSLRs, and I think everyone will agree on that. Once you get comfortable with either, that's when you start taking some great shots. Hand a good photographer either, and eventually they'll take great shots with either. That means to me it's more about the person behind the camera than the camera itself in this debate. Yes, you can microdisect and put it under an electron microscope to see that Nikon has 2 less dust particles per thousand on a 10 mega pix shot at f2.8 on a cloudy day back in '32......but really does that even matter in the grand scheme of things if the pic SUCKS.......
