I've just upgraded my ageing Sony Cybershot DSC-P72 to a Canon EOS 400D. I use the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM for general use and I'm getting the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM for Christmas for use at motor races
I'm definitely an amateur, and only just starting in SLR photography. I'm at my parents' for Christmas at the moment, otherwise I'd post some photos.
