Hi,
I just picked up a 400D, I have been umming and arrrrring over doing DSLR for sometime. I have been using a C8080WZ up until now and have been very happy with it, however I like what DSLR has to offer so when I saw a mint conditon 400D up for £360 I decided to take the plunge.
Arrived today, not given it a spin yet (not great weather for it) Opened the box and got a couple of bonuses, there are 2 extra batteries, and when I went to put my CF card in I found a Sandisk Extreme III 1GB card already in there, which I wasn't expecting.
All in all a bargain I think.
What would people recommend as a general purpose lens, I take my camera with me on a lot of city breaks, so I take a lot of landscape and architecture photos. This is my first venture into needing additional lenses, so any help is much appricated.
The types of photo I take can be seen here:

I know they are mostly snapshots rather than conforming to photographic rules, or artistic shots etc, I enjoy taking photos the represent the real world as closely as possible, as the eye sees it if you like, I am not fond of making photos artifical in colour etc. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that and I do it various reasons occasionally but on the whole I like natrual photos.
