Been looking for a SLR for a while - got inspired by this thread - so went to Best Buy and bought a Canon 50D. The weight takes a while to get used to. I am very much a novice photographer but liking the camera so far. Its taking good pictures and have enough default dummy modes so that I cant get in too much trouble.

The whole thing ended up costing ~$2100 (including sales tax). For that I got the camera kit with the 28-135mm lens, a carrying bag with an extra battery and a UV filter, a circular polarized filter, a 8gb 200x CF card, a CF card reader and 4 years extended warranty.

Anywho - here is a picture - remember - I am no expert - but its way better than what I could have done with my Powershot.
