yipee i blew my budget

[russkie]

well i just blew my budget wide open - having got rid of my slr minolta dynax 700 , i decided to go digital slr - although i have a coolpix which i have beeb happy with thou not suited to birding and never got the hang of that digiscope business.
so i just got the eos350d with 18- 55 zoom AND just got a sigma 170-500 zoom. -what a beauty. jsut gotta get the hangof this dslr now.
wish me luck cos im a thickie.
cheers nigel

Congrats. on the new purchase - I wouldn't mind that combo myself ;)

BTW with this set up re the PM I sent you may need to crop aand resize a bit more and increase the compression - maybe 80-85% to get the right file size!
