I've been using the Canon Powershot G series for years, moving from G5 to G9, and finally decided to move into DSLRs. I'm an old photog and used SLRs in the film days, so going to SLR wasn't a problem. I was just so happy with my G9, I wasn't compelled to move. Until I broke my G9!! :(Now that I've got the T1i, I can't believe I didn't move into DSLR a long time ago. This camera, and the pictures it takes are FANTASTIC. I love having the full control over depth of field, I love the sharpness of high quality glass. I purchased the EF-S 18mm - 200mm zoom at the same time I purchased the camera. What I love about Canon is that the menus and functions are pretty well standardized across their cameras, with small variations where necessary due to varied functionality. That made it very easy for me to pick up this new camera and start shooting immediately. If you've been shooting point-n-shoots for some time and are ready to move up to DSLR, or you just want a new DSLR in the low price range, this camera is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

You won't even find a better deal for double the price of this lens. I use it with a 300D, and my pictures come out super sharp, and the colors are lively. I can use it indoors without a flash, and the bokeh looks great. My only complaint would be the build quality. It is a plastic lens, so although you get an extremely lightweight lens, you can probably say goodbye to it if you drop it on solid ground (nothing to cry about, you can replace it for $70 USD now Actually, replacing this lens is cheaper than fixing or replacing parts on other lenses. But then again, it is very light, so if you're just going to take pictures of your kids in the backyard, or you want to walk around the park with your camera, this is the lens to put on. There is a f1.4 50mm lens available by canon, but I don't see the use in buying it. If you're shooting indoor sports, f1.8 should be adequate, especially since you're likely to use iso 800 or 1600. Also note that if you want to do infrared photography, you'll probably want to use a prime lens (such as this), because you need to take long exposures (sometimes 30 seconds or more). I use this lens with my Hoya R72 IR filter, and a tripod, and the results are great. The title pretty much says it all. For the money spent on this lens, you won’t find a better deal anywhere.
