    New camera, FIRST pics!

    Got my Canon XSi and am very pleased. Briefly read the owners manual and was off shooting. I know I have a long way to go, but think a few shots came out ok. I was in NYC when I bought it, what a great place to take pictures!

    Here are a few enjoy, and criticism is always welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

    Congratulations on your new camera! Nice shots! Yes, NYC is a very interesting place for a photographer - lots of opportunities - lots of fun subjects. I really like that first one.

    What lens(lenses) did you get with the XSi? Looks like you got a winner.

    Thank you all so much for the nice comments!
    Means a lot to a beginner such as myself.

    Liz: Just the kit lens for now (18-55mm IS). Once I get the hang of things I will most likely be looking into a 70-300mm for wildlife and maybe some macro work.

    Thanks again for the kind words!

    Don't apologize for getting the kit lens. This lens has some great reviews - for the price it cannot be beat. I was a bit concerned about the color/contrast with a less expensive lens, but after seeing your shots - especially the first one, the color is just fine, actually great!

    After seeing your shots, I decided to purchase this lens. I recently purchased the Tokina 11-16 which is an awesome lens! However, I can't take the weight. Last year I sold my heavier equipment due to a back problem, but "rationalized" that the Tokina isn't "that heavy" only to discover it IS that heavy for me.

    So, thanks for sharing your images as the results you got pushed me over the edge!

    Liz

    Yes, I was very happy to get the body and lens for $699. I have seen it (kit) advertised as high as $799 just yesterday.

    Your opinion means alot to me. So, I will def be keeping this lens!

    Thanks again and best of luck with your new purchase.
