My first SLR got delivered today!

I got myself a new Canon Kiss X2 (or 450D if you live in Europe). Well actually I had Kiss X2 already, but I handed the previous one to my father who wanted it so much (sure I got some money back, but it was partially a present, too).

So today, actually my second Kiss X2 got delivered. Though the first one was the standard one lense kit version (18-55mm), I decided to pay a little bit more money for the double lens kit version, so now I have 2 lenses - 18-55mm and 55-250mm in my posession :)

This thing screams! Well sure its my first SLR ever, and anything will probably scream comparing to my older Ixys 900IS compact. But I really like the build and the quality, and the controls, and features of my new camera.

And it is such a satisfaction to just hold it in my hands and make shots accompanied but the real shutter sound, now the pre-recorded one :)

I'm learning basics of semi-pro shooting (mostly learning videos), so hopefully sooner than later I'll be able to make some really nice shots (I suck at composition shots currently :)

So, back to the viewfinder!
