Was a bit disappointed that I didn't get a single reply to my question(s) in over 2 weeks on the forum.

I finally made a choice on my own, and ordered the T1i with 2 kit lenses to start with. I know I will learn a lot of great info here, just reading through the forum.. but in my excitement of my new venture... I had really hoped to feel like more a "part of this forum group" as well.
