I am so so happy with my new 40D. You know how sometimes you get something that you have waited and saved and just hoped for for a really long time, and when you finally get it you are not as happy as you thought you would be. WELL THAT IS TOTALLY NOT ME! I am blown away with it really. Maybe its because I am going from the point and shoot, to this but I am on the way to crazy ecstatic happy about my camera. I went with the 85mm 1.8 lens…it was a good choice. To all those who recommended and helped me make this choice, thank you so much, and thank you for your patience (and your future patience) as I learn this camera.

Okay…I promised it…here is my very first photo. Oops. I thought it was of the rug…at least I got the chair, right?
