depends on weather, spent all day with my camera as it is!

Ive just been looking at your spec list with your camera.Ive been looking at getting a prime lens like yours,been looking at Sigma ones but not too sure on the quality.
Will be putting an order in for some filters and a couple of extra batteries and a couple more sdhc cards tomorrow.
Was looking all over for a funky camera strap but i cant seem to find one anywhere!

[T_J_G]

Black Rapid straps are reasonably good, I'd do without a funky one and get a comfortable one!

Get a 50mm f1.8 for £80 and it'll be the best purchase you've made yet. For batteries I picked up a Hama one (i believe) for my 1000d for £6! Mymemory.co.uk are good for cards, make sure you use a trusted site to get a genuine one, and I'd probably go with a Class 10 one if you can.

Sigma are good quality. Maybe not quite as good as Canon's higher end stuff, but they're very good.
As said the Canon 50mm f1.8 is a good starting point.
My brother went for the Sigma EX DG 50mm f2.8 Macro, which gives you a 50mm prime and a good macro in one, but it's more pricey than the standard Canon.

The 50mm f1.8 was the first decent lens I got after the kit lens. It teaches you so much about depth of field and framing/composing shots (because you can't zoom).
After that I got a Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 to replace my kit lens, which is great.

Thanks DF i might as well go for the better quality one as its only £20 more.

That's an expensive strap! Horney has that lense.

As in Horney has bought it or Horney has one?
You told me to bloody buy it btw 

[T_J_G]

Nick owns the Sigma 70-300 lens.

The strap will be an investment I guess!

[LowlifeDubber]

It better be comfy!
