Just picked up a XSI kit (18-55) and a Canon 55-250!
Took a few pics, messing around with the cats and the dog and a couple outside pics, just 'plug and play'-style.
Wow! Very nice pics. Even on full auto. (will get them up in a bit)
Well, I have A LOT to learn now.
Thanks,all, for your advice and info (here and on pnwriders)
