5 months of trolling....your a verified expert photographer!!!! :D

Welcome and enjoy your 20D!

I see you've got the kit lens; some of my favorite shots were taken with that lens. My advice....pick up a 50mm f/1.8 for $70; best bang for the buck in the Canon line-up. I used the kit lens and the 50mm f/1.8 for almost a year before purchasing another lens. Using these two lenses you will learn what you want and need in terms of future lenses.

Congrats from a long time 20D user. You'll love it.

ya thats my next plan to get a nifty fifty :D might require another five months of trolling on POTN lol But my sister wants me to be back up photographer for her wedding in February :O so i gotta get learning! lol

Any recomendations on a good backpack btw? fairly large sized one? thanks!

I noticed that the 20D's power switch has three locking positions? one for on and one for off? whats the third for?

[RebelRat]

The middle position is On, but, thumb wheel is not active. You need it on the top position to activate the thumb wheel.
