Laurel wrote Congrats Crystal!  New cameras are always fun!  My advice:  Play lots and make sure you keep the manual handy!

Thanks Laurel.  Been taking a lot in auto mode for now but should go through the manual once.  I also have a bunch of photography books I want to go through and do the assignments.  You can view pics I've done at www.redbubble.com/people/czach

Thanks Kerri...not sure why but it didn't let me reply to Laurel's message so I tried again and now there are two posts...oops
