I'm pretty excited, I am officiating a wedding and they are using both my Canon Xti DV camera and the 400D. I offered to do the photography but the photographer refused, they didn't want to officiate, I think they just wanted to try out my 400D. They are a Nikon SLR user, don't know which, I have never been a Nikon fan so I really don't remember. I am hoping the lens will be okay for Wedding photography, we'll find out in a tomorrow and I can play with them in Lightroom.
By the way I am a huge Apple fan but Lightroom makes more sense than Aperture in so many ways. The first time I tried out Aperture I was confused at its purpose, the first time I used Lightroom I used it and did something with my photographs. I am having the same problem with Canon's Digital Photo Professional, really not sure how to use it, not the mechanics but the purpose and usefulness. At the moment I am not using much RAW, so I really can't see beyond Lightroom.
One thing I have noticed is in editing Photoshop Elements might come up short in the editing of 16 bit, I am going to search the forums for thoughts on 16 & 8 bit editing and the 'real' difference to the eye.

One thing at a time...
I took the family to the Cultural Center here in Chia-Yi, they had a Monkey stone carving and International Bands Festival. Took the 400D along too. I was testing the Sigma 28-300 lens on how useful it can be. I think is was quite nice but I can see how the professionals like to use them big lens too. I agian kept everything on auto so I good get a feel for the camera and the lens.
My son Caleb was very cooperative, though the sun was too bright for good exposure on his pics. I need to go earlier next time.
The Monkey carvings here were taken form 35 meters. I don't know if my subject is positioned as I wanted but I like it.
Having trouble posting pictures right now will wait to do more later...
