Very nice! As soon as my daughter sees the shots of the husky, she's gonna want to come out and kidnap it

It's her favorite dog, thanks to it's proclivity to having different colored eyes...like her.

Can't wait to see what else you take

Nice ones. Is this your first dSLR? If so, you seem to have caught onto it fast.

What lens came with it?

First one.

Spent $350 on a 1MP HP long time ago

$300 on an Olympus 3.5MP about 5 years ago.

Got a sweet Sony 10MP for Christmas which really got me itching for this camera.

Came with an EF-S 18-55mm IS f/3.5-5.6 lens.

I've had the EF 18-55 non IS lens, which is a good lens, and under-rated IMHO. These pics look great so it appears the IS version is a really nice lens.

Another under rated lens is the Sigma 18-50 3.5-5.6 DC.

I seem to have done OK with non IS lenses so far so I don't think I'm in any big yank to get IS lenses at this time.

What body are you using them with?

That was part of my problem selecting a camera in the first place, trying to figure out how important IS really is, whether it makes a difference being located in the camera body itself or in the lens, etc...

I don't have an EF 18-55 right now. I have 300D and 350D bodies right now.

I'm sure the IS helps and have had it in many P&S cameras. My Sony A200k had it but I haven't noticed a big difference in IS and non IS yet, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

They say the EF 55-250 IS is a great lens for the $$. Can be bought for about $200 refurbed online.
