Cool! The 400D is sure a great camera although not a big leap forward compared to the 350D. I wonder why they still put that damn EF-S 18-55 in the kit be sure to save money for a proper lense because you'll soon get pissed at it when the novelty of the camera fades away

Have fun with your new camera, I enjoy my 350D a lot, but what TT says is so true, spare up for an other lense, I am sure you like the result with a new lense!
Nice doggy by the way

I had read about the kit lens and was gonna get another lens but it was too much $$$. I've been reding dingos topic and it seems the 70-300 is a good choice when it comes to a zoom lens but £360 for the IS version is a bit steep so it could be a while if i even manage to save enough

Thanks for the comments.
I was looking at lenses and i can get a 50mm f1.8 II for £60. Does anyone know if this is any good and if there would be any point having it aswell as the kit lens, if it is i might just get one in a few weeks.

The 50/1.8 is great starter-lens. Sure, the build sucks and the AF is noisy, but it's really sharp from f/2.8 and up and at f/1.8 it's 3 1/3 stop faster than the kitlens. Allows for lowlight-photography and you can play with a small DOF. Also the fact that it's a prime (fixed focus) can really get your creative feelings going.
