Hi all-First post after spending days reading through these forums.
Seems to be a fabulous place for all levels of ability!
(of which i am certainly on the beginner end of the scale )
Ok-So i recently bought my first DSLR,after having had 35mm Canons for years,own darkroom etc.
Knew nothing at all about all this new technology (new to me anyway!)
On a visit to the local Currys,saw the Canon 1000D with 18-55mm IS lens kit for 349.99,and just couldnt resist.
Was told it will happily take older Canon EF lenses,and that there was very little difference to the 450D. (which they didnt have in stock)
Now..Upon getting home with my new toy,and having a try with the Sigma 70-300 DL... The Camera refuses to work and says "Error in communication between camera and lens"
Same with a 200mm zoom from my old 35mm EOS.
Guess this means i need to go spend some cash on new lenses.
This likely to be the case with all Canon EF fit lenses?-Or am i just real unlucky?
Also-Anyone able to compare their findings between the 1000D and the 450D?
I know the 450D is 12mp compared to 10,but as a relative beginner to DSLR's am i likely to really miss those extra couple of MP?
