You've only just begun... wait till you get full frame disorder and L lens disease. It's a never ending spending spree!

i got a 550D yayyyyyyyyyyyy [<)] ...... though i asked for a 1000D dad insisted that i take a 550D... he was like 'my lil girl has grown up, and this is jus a gift to let her know that'... and i decided to get the 50mm with my coll stipend... so now i have a 550D and a tamron 17-50...
i jus have one prob with the cam n lens...
ITS SOOOOOOOO DAMN HEAVY [:'(] ... i cant hold it for more than 5secs straight, by that time my hands start screaming for rest...
Haha, congratulations!
Well, the weight is something to get used to. Most kits people on these forums drag along are 4 times as heavy and another few pounds in their bags
Happy shooting, looking forward to the results.

Just a comparison: I thought my 450D(comparable in size and weigth) was too small for my hands []

Just lean onto objects to get stability in your shots when your arms start getting tired.
