newb DSLR owner
I only ever come to the darkroom to sneak a look at the great pictures. Im awlays in awe
I've always been intimidated by slr cameras, they seem way out of my league but I lucked into one at a salvage auction last week . Kirk showed me how to turn it on and guided me to a lens to get started. Now I am studying and trying to learn how to use this thing and finding out how much it costs to join this hobby .
All the posts with instruction and advise have been helpful, so thanks And keep the great pictures coming, they are an inspiration. Maybe someday I'll luck into some of my own worthy of posting here

I am with you on being a newb with the SLRs. I figure I am at least a year away from really knowing how to use it properly.

Crazy thing is I just bought a new Olympus point and click a few weeks ago because my old one was worn out
I'm spending 10 days camping on the Blue mountains and surrounding country (southeast Utah) starting this Friday and would love to be able to get some good pictures. I'll just take a lot and hope for the best

I find myself looking at the pictures as soon as I shoot them and deleting any that are not good. Is there a downside to that?

Look, cards are really cheap now, so just snag about five of them and shoot all you want! I got some 2GB Sandisk cards on Amazon the other day for $15 apiece. B&H has some cheap cards for cheap (Kinston and Delkin) too.

I got a 16gb sd card on newegg.com for 45 dollars. I take all the pictures I want and never fear running out of space.

I use a 4gb card and I came pretty close to filling it during a week Glacier (3.7gb). Now I am in need of two larger hard drives, one for storage and one for backups.

So how many times do you think you've deleted an excellent picture because you didn't catch something on your 2-3 inch LCD screen that you otherwise would pick up when reviewing your pics on a monitor?

yeah, I had to upgrade to the 4gb card, and we still pack the 2gb just in case. The wife gets mad at all the pics I take. But at almost 4 frames per sec, she can choose the best shot to scrapbook.
