Thanks Ramnik!

Come back and post in a few weeks and let me know how you like the camera.

Oh and I finally finished watching the Blue Crane XTi learning DVD (link listed in article) last weekend. It really helps a lot with the advanced features of the camera.

I will have to go back and watch a few segments again, but I highly recommend it for those that are brand new to dSLRs.

your response helped me reaffirm my decision about spending >400$ on a kit lens as a dslr newbie. Just waiting for the camera to arrive!:-)

thanks and keep posting more of your experiences and learnings!

Thanks Ramnik,

I appreciate your comments.

No, don't sell the Tamron. Keep it. It is a good lens, and I use it all the time now. I just wish that I waited because I might have chosen a different lens. But I would never sell it now that I have it!!

Have fun with your new camera! You will enjoy it I think!!!

Hi,
I just ordered a 400D and a Tamron 17-50mm 2.8. This is going to be my first DSLR. I intuitively wanted to go in for just the canon 50mm 1.8, so i could learn photography and then decide a lens. but read good reviews about the tamron. and there was none which talked about just purchasing the prime lens to begin with.
do you suggest selling off the tamron and picking up a 50mm1.8 instead. even i have to figure out my fotography style.
also please post your review on a few more sites, especially the 50mm as the kit lens!
it might help many new camera enthusiasts.

thanks.
