Got the 18-70mm kit - £677 squid thanks very much with a 2GB card. Also bought me a Lowepro Rover AWII - great bag.
And so the learning curve begins!

Cheers just discovered the sports continuous servo autofocus - very funky 
I fear my poor old SONY F717 is going to get neglected - might have to send it to my brother.

I will once I find something other than my office to take photos of
Thanks Shoei, is there a need for it if I already use CS2?
Cheers m8 will do.
Righto - have just come back for a bit of a wander around Little Venice in Maida Vale with my girlfriend. Light was really bad so you'll have to forgive the photos but these are the first... I have a great deal to learn about this camera especially when shooting in low light.
I was surprised to see that the 18-70mm lens has a reasonable macro ability.

My girlfriends finger - I know the sky is really blown out but it was quite glarey and I have to spend a little ping on a decent UV or circular polarising filter.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. Yeah I'm pretty stoked with it. I'm really hanging out for some decent subject matter and a nice sunny day. Have ordered a UV and circular polarizing filter (Hoya) for it as well. I pretty much never took the CPF off my old camera.
The clarity and lack of noise in a DSLR really blows me away. I suspect I am going to get a great deal of joy out of this camera.

Got about 20 mins on sun today so I ran outside and took some snaps - from around Smithfields markets in London City - Feel free to comment.
Thinking that I maybe should've had the glass closer to me in focus rather than the glass further away.

No I'm still waiting for a Hoya CPL filter to arrive from Hong Kong. I think it was a result of the camera metering off the white wall so it darkend the sky by default. Quite a nice blue after all that I think.
