David, congrats on the purchase. I've had my eye on the Digital SLR's for quite some time and I like Canon's the best. I've been looking at the Digital Rebel 350D, not as high end as yours, but I really do like what Canon is doing with DSLR's. I've been thinking of putting my Minolta Maxxum 35mm SLR and telephoto lens up on eBay or something since I use my point-and shoot digital a lot more now and I could put that cash towards a DSLR. I also like the Lowepro bags. I bought a small one for my Canon Powershot. I'll definitley be keeping an eye on your flickr page more to see some more of your photos.

Michael I woiuld recommend that you act now since all these rebates are out, and no interest payments. Seriously this camera is beyond sweet...in the tulip picture I took above, in the full res. you can see pollen on the flowers pistil & stigma.

I just dropped like $1300 on my macbook and a backpack for it that should be coming in next week so now would be out of the question, but maybe in a few months especially if I can sell my Maxxum. By the way, you might wanna check out Adobe Lightroom for managing your digital photos. I know there are things like Picassa, but I tried the Lightroom beta and liked it a lot. Not as much as Aperture on the mac end, but it is definitely a cool app and it's still in beta:

I'd love to see the full-res tulip photo if you can send it to me through dropload or yousendit sometime. Have fun and looking forward to seeing your pics.

Awesome man, I just installed lightroom not bad to view images. Picassa had an nice interface, but was rather hard to navigate.
