Like Mike already said, L is nice, but far from a requirement for good photos. I took some great photos long before i made the jump to some entry level L glass.
There's also some non-L lenses out there that take spectacular photos for a fraction of the price. one example would be the 85mm f/1.8. A great resource for lens reviews that helped me out alot has been www.fredmiranda.com |

I shoot with a Nikon D70 DSRL. I love it. I may be upgrading soon (as in 2007)...

The new D80 looks like a good upgrade path. __________________

Have an old Manual F3 that I learned (a little) on. Borrowed a D70 from a friend and I liked it so much that I started reading the forums and decided to get a D200 with an 80-400VR for my son's football (just started High School). He plays mostly in daylight so the f4.5-5.6 works great. I know I'll probably break down and get a faster zoom as he starts playing night games in a year or two. Maybe I should have gone with a Cannon, but I have some old lenses from my F3 that I hated to part with.

Thats a great camera Andrew! I'm sure you will be excited to get it and try it out. Being that you live in PA, you may also want to checkout the new forum we started for photographers in the Northeastern US... NorthEastFoto.com ... it is a great place to discuss things as you are learning... a little more cozy than some of the larger forums.

Canon EOS Elan 7e N with an EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens, a EF-S 17-85MM f4-5.6 IS USM lens and a EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens. Looking to replace this with hopefully a 5D by the end of the year.
Also have a Canon PowerShot G6 and just picked up the other day a Canon SD630 for carrying around in my pocket. Great little camera by the way!
Needless to say I love Canon cameras. I have been using them for about 6 or 7 years now __________________

I just picked up a Canon SD600 Elph (same as the 630 but a smaller lcd and the 600 adds a viewfinder). The picture quality really has surprised me. Great camera that fits in a pocket and goes everywhere. Next on the shopping list is the WP-DC4 Waterproof Case. Then it really CAN go just about anywhere.
