Message: <blockquote data-quote="mrsbell" data-source="post: 1431369" data-attributes="member: 74467">What is a Canon "L"???Thank you for your advise! I would ideally like to know where models come in the line of newness if you get what I mean, like for example a list of say canon's with the newest being at the top! Not the big fancy ones as they're not hat I need or am looking for but likes of the D rages in Nikon, 40/50/60/.80/90 etc Does it start from D90 being the newest? and the lower the number the older the model?At the moment I have been looking at a Canon 1000D and to be honest it is within my price range new as well.  I would like a smaller lense (not essential to start with) say a 18-55mm and I would like a say 75-300mm zoom as I dont think I can allow for a more powerful zoom at the moment?Does anyone know what the Canon name for anti shake is? I know for nikon its VR but I am not sure for canon and would like to know.  I am 24 so would I need one? I have a fairly steady hand but if it imporves my pics then I would rather get one to start with.Sorry guys, more questions for you but I'd rather ask and get it right! In afew weeks I will be posting my pics from the camera I have chosen for you all to see lol <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
