I feel like I've been waiting a millenia! (yes, patience is not one of my strong points)
but, my 350D finnally arrived. I'm so excited!
Unfortuantely I have to wait until friday for the memory to arrive before I can actually save the photos
But still, yay! I also got the Speedlight 580EX flash with an omni diffuser and should be getting the 50mm f/1.8 lens this week too. I'm just too spoilt
Hopefully by the weekend I'll have photos to post...
Excellent!!
Great!! Congratulations Schell... I am really very happy for you... I can see you are really happy!!
You deserve it... You take beautiful pictures...
Looking forward to the weekend to see your first pictures
Congratulations
Looking forward to your first posts with your new gear
Excellent. There are several people with 350Ds here, and they look like they do a very nice job.
Hoooray! Awesome news! Have fun with your new gadget, and let us know how you get on!
Yahay! Very good news and really looking forward to piccies!
Thanks all, I borrowed some memory today, so I'll be posting pics very soon!
Welcome ...to the "Real" World
Id check the firmware that it has as there is a update.
I love the smell of a new camera more than new car smell. I love the box. I keep it around for weeks.

I still have the orginal box and packagaing inside it sitting on my book shelf, it sits nicely near my Adobe PhotoShop 5.5 Box set
What's firmware? Is it for the actual camera?
Firmware - yup, updates the "software" on the camera. Updates are mostly issued by manufacturer to fix bugs or problems, and sometimes introduce some new features too.
Here's the list of firmware updates for Canon users:

I think the 350D is up to firmware version 1.0.2:

Firmware updates are pretty easy to do - download the firmware file and copy it on to your card using your PC, and then select firmware update from the menu...
Congrats Michelle
yaaay.. another 350D owner!
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
ooo.. and a 580EX flash.. yummy! I just got myself a 430EX last week and its fantastic. But the 580EX gives you even more cool stuff... *jealous*
Have fun, and don't forget to post plenty of pics
Thanks Adrian!
Yes, the 580EX is a bit scary for me hehehe so far I've used it on auto, and I like it!
I'm sure I'll 'grow' into it, we all need to be challenged, right?
But at least I know the way around my camera because it is quite similar to the film SLR I had.
Julian, My camera came with version 1.0.3 so I don't think I need to update yet. But thanks anyway.
You need to fix your signature Schell... missing a camera in there!
