That's cool, Kay! Congrats on the new camera!

I have the Digital Rebel XTi as well, and would be curious to get/share pointers with others who have these cameras. I know they have quite the potential to shoot some wicked cool shots, so I'd really like to learn more about the manual settings. I've really only played with the pre-set functions so far. I'm just using the lens it came with, but would like to eventually get another lends or two. What would be a good investment moving forward in terms of what lenses to buy for these cameras?
