Based on my reading of this article, I got a new camera, and I am enjoying it.

I got a Canon Digital Rebel Xt, here’s a review.

I just got the base camera set, and then for lens I got a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens. The lens cost almost as much as the camera!

8 GB compact flash cards can be bought for $37 now at newegg.com.

You can see some of the pictures I took on my flickr page. I don’t know anything about photography and this camera is such a huge step up from the Point and Shoot one I used to have. The pictures I’m taking don’t suck quite as much.

So, camera talk! What’s good reading for beginner photographists? What have you found useful?
