Brand New

[xjrrrdx]

Well as the title says. I am brand new to photography. Here is a little background as to why I am here. I am in the Army and I am getting stationed in Germany, there is so much to see and do I figured I would get a decent camera for once.

I plan on doing some of the touristy type stuff traveling around Europe and such with my wife. So I would like to remember these times.

Anyway, onto equipment I know little to absolutely nothing about lenses and such. Camera body I am going with the Canon 30d, lenses is another story, I find stuff about L lenses and see what they produce and am impressed, but a buddy I know gave me this link Tamron Lens. Am I getting out to a good start or am I jumping the gun??

I appreciate your help.

Oh! Has anyone ever used or heard of this site?
30d

I will stay away from this site. I never bought stuff from them, but from what I heard and read. hum .... you will end up paying a lot more.

As for the Tamron lens, that is one of the lens I would like to get as well.

the 30D is excellent camera
definately stick with it if you get the right price!

and your mate is right, for the money the tamron (or sigma) 18-50mm F2.8 lenses are awesome
