DSLR newbie setup advise needed.

That set up sound like a great one. As far as filters go, if you want to do landscapes then a graduate filter is a must have along with a polarizer. I would strongly suggest a Cokin system and a medium and light ND graduate fitler. The benefits to a Cokin System is you can slide the filter up and down to fit the scene you are shooting and you can put it on different size lenses with only the price of an adaptor ring. You can spend as much as you want on a polarizer but the medium price range polarizers will do you a great job.

Great camera. Two fine lenses. The 50mm/f1.8 is an excellent lens - and the new 18-55IS also looks like a winner from what I've seen.

Congratulations! Well thought out - and I love the Rebel digital series. Excellent cameras.

Show us your pics - especially the ones with the new 18-55 IS lens.
