I recently replaced my freebie lens with a canon 50mm 1.4 and I love it. I have to use my legs for the zoom but the pictures are fantastic and with 1.4 aperture ... I don't need no stinkin' flash. www.macsparky.com Melvin,

As for the lens, good buy again! The 400D is a good upgrade from the 350D, which I’m using. As for the lens, good buy again!

I've just recently started in photography too and have the same camera (although it's branded as the EOS 400D here in Australia). I ended up getting the 430ex flash as it seems capable enough for what I want to do initially. Although eventually I'm looking at getting a 580ex II as well as it can be used as a master unit and the 430ex as a slave. You might want to have a look at this blog if you are interested to see what can be achieved with small camera flashes: http://strobist.blogspot.com/ There is also a cool video here on a model shoot done using a 430ex and a 580ex as master and slave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQKqj4W0QWI Congratulations on the purchase.

This is great, thanks a bunch! I searched to see if it was just a Growl plugin, but had no luck. This is great, thanks a bunch!

One of the most useful widgets out there. Oh, and it has support for Growl too so you can get notified even if you don't have Dashboard open.
