[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 123205, member: 13090"] That's what she said, too... lol... Then read, read, read... And EXPERIMENT. Digital is cheap (free!) so no one needs to see all the shots you screwed up on your learning curve. Shoot in "P"rogram Mode, shoot in "A"perture Priority, shoot in "S"hutter Priority and really get a feel for what at those modes can do for you. Once you understand the tools you have you'll start applying them to help you get the picture you have in your head matching the picture you print. The 18-55 is a dandy lens, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Used with skill that lens will serve you well. You will NEVER regret saving your money and buying good glass. Period. The only thing I don't like about the SB-28 is that it doesn't do TTL metering. You don't know what that is, do you? lol... Read up on "Through The Lens" (TTL) metering. If you think you're going to need an inexpensive flash, look for a Yongnuo YN-468 II. A brand new one should cost you somewhere around 60 euro. It blows away the SB-28 on every front. [/QUOTE]
