Even though the Nikon 18-55mm is considered a "kit" lens, it is darned sharp. I love mine. I love the 2nd shot. Great!

hi nancy, welcome. I am from the instamatic days myself so when I got my first dslr camera in 2005 it was a whole new world for me. I started with a point and shoot when my first granddaughter was born but that was very frustrating to say the least, so I got a Rebel ESO. it opened a whole new world for me. last year I got a Canon 60d. what fun I have. will love to see some of your shots. deb

Thanks for that Deb! That means there is still hope for me lol Is slow going but am trying to get some reading done to understand things ..... Sure is a lot to it... but I am trying xo

Welcome, I have the canon 55-250mm it is a great lens. Watch YouTube videos, they explain a lot and some are even funny. A good book is Tony Northrup's Hoe to Create Stunning Digital Photography. If you get the eBook version, it will have video links to watch.

Thanks tons Tracy! Seems I missed a few e-mails somehow!! I will check that info .. I think I am getting closer to knowing what I want ,,, I want to shoot wildlife and possibly from quite far and am considering the Canon EF 70-300 mm F/4-5.6 L IS USM ... There is more to this than I thought and I am loving it lol It's a great learning experience .. If only this brain of mine could retain it all lol Thanks again! :)
