Hrm, the guy that sold me the camera said that I could switch out the lenses on it if I wanted to go for a wide-angle or something different. I haven't gotten very deep into the manual yet, cuz I was watching the Canucks get roasted, so I'll have to check in on that and make sure one way or another.
Im really just starting out as far as photography goes. I did a lot of reading on the Canon website but really have no knowledge about terms or techniques or anything like you mentioned. I'd like to get deeper into it with more artistic shots than just family vacations and backyard bbq's.
I'd really like to be able to take some extended exposure shots while camping and get the star-trails over the horizon and stuff like that, but I dont think you can do that with a digital camera and that's something for years down the road when I know what Im doing.
