Let me start off by saying...I know near nothing about what I am doing from a technical perspective. I recently got a T1i, I had never owned a digital camera, I guess I never felt the need to have one, got to use a XSi or XTi, one of the two for work... Then got a point and shoot, hated the image quality. Did some research, got the T1i vs. the XSi b/c it's newer and I make decisions not so smart like that, more so because I don't see myself updating anytime soon.
The family would like some pictures of sporting events, the kit lens isn't cutting it by most regards, it is impossible to film my siblings soccer game with the kit lens. (Not video, just stills...why they put video on these things still perplexes me) I ordered the Canon Zoom Telephoto EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Autofocus Lens because it seemed like a good idea. I did some quick research and came to the conclusion at 4 am one night that that sounded intelligent.
If I'm missing anything or should have purchased somethingelse, could someone please let me know?
I assume a lens hood would probably be a smart investment given the sun in Texas?
Thanks...
