Yet another newbie

[SeagullSteve]

Hi all,
I'm just returning to photography after a break of 15 years or so. Technology has moved on considerably so it's taking me a while.

I've just purchased a Canon 550D at Focus earlier in the week. Using some very old EF lenses whilst I'm waiting for my 15-85mm and 70-200 to be delivered. Think I may have made a mistake though - perhaps I should have bought the 50D as most of my photography will be outdoors - wildlife, sports etc. Time will tell I guess.

Nope - no relatiion. It's a football thing

The 16-85 is on it's way - just trying to decide which 70-200 to get F4 with IS or F2.8 without.
