I bought my first DSLR today a Canon 400d and I can't wait until it arrives :banana:
Any advice before it gets here?
 
I absolutely love mine!! How are you getting on with it?


edit: oops, just seen you only posted today - soz!

I went to Borders and bought the in-depth book for it (Magic Lantern Guides) Im currently carrying it about with me for reading on buses, in the house and.....at work (its a damn sight more exciting that what i do!)

Enjoy, let us know when it gets here!!

I bought it online this morning so waiting excitedly until it arrives :)

Matty, I've started reading and researching. Read an essestial guide from Practical photography yesterday entitled 'Using your DSLR' which was very useful and have downloaded the manual so I can get a head start.
 
sweet ! i got mine 400D today as well Duckydoodle , googling a lot of things , if you have seen anything useful for a novice do pass across :D
 
I got my 400D (with grip) a few months ago now and I think it is great! (Although I may be upgrading to a 40D very soon).
 
Just bought one today too :)

Took me a while to figure out which barcode they want for the cashback! The battery is now fully charged and so am I ...... gad! - I feel like a 16 year old agin .... Oh yeah - just to be different I got the less popular Silver model :)

That should keep you guys going for a while lol.
 
When I got mine I couldn't wait, didn't even read the manual.
A week later went back and read the manual!:bang:
Have lots of fun, take plenty of pics, mess about with the settings and see what you get:D. Eventually it will make sense and your picture's will improve.
Then you are bitten and its a slippery slope into lens lust :naughty::lol:
