Wildkat Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am so happy and a little scared. I bought a Canon Rebel XS yesterday at Best Buy. I have always wanted as DLSR but couldn't afford it so I saved up my money and now I have it. The reason I said I was a little scared is because I have never used anything but a point and shoot before. However I am willing to learn everything I can about shooting with the new camera.

KBT Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 CONGRATULATIONS!!! A DSLR is on my wish list as well The best advice I ever received about using my camera was to read the manual. Silly I know, but I learned a ton about the functionality and was able to take it off point and shoot mode Can't wait to see your photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9Buckles Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have the same camera! You're going to love it. I would recommend Dinny's ebook Digital Photgraphy Simplified It's very well written. I bought it and have printed it out and keep it handy. There's a lot you can do with that camera - have fun learning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargotW Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Congratulations! I got my Sony A300 a couple of months ago and I immediately went to Amazon and purchased a book specifically for this camera. It give a lot of hints not contained in the instruction manual. It was approx $12. and very well worth the cost. They have them for the major brand DSLR's. I'm not familiar with Dinny's book but maybe I should be! lol You are going to have so much fun with your new camera. Enjoy and keep on shooting!
