Good choices! Enjoy your new gear!!

That's the thing about this hobby - there's always more to acquire. Hobby? Maybe obsession would be closer to the mark... [:P]

This is pretty much the setup I had when I first started getting into photography!! (Except I was using an even older 300D [:P])


I'm sure you'll have a blast!! Good luck!!

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.

Wow lucky you [] Congratulations with it! The 550D is a major step up from the 1000D, so you'll love it!

ITS SOOOOOOOO DAMN HEAVY [:'(]

Hihi funny [:P] I guess you're gonna need to exercise those arms then..[:O]


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.

Great - enjoy them!!

ITS SOOOOOOOO DAMN HEAVY

Your 550D + Tamron 17-50mm lens = ~1 kg (2.2 lbs)


My gripped 7D + 100-400mm lens = ~3 kg (6.6 lbs)
