"And finally, have fun. Digital photography is a great hobby and can be loads of fun but make sure that you don't get so serious about it that it stops being fun for you. It's a wonderful way to be creative and to express yourself." ~Hawk

You did say somebody would be along to read us a story, right??
I like #4 - sounds like he's talking to me...i think. I shoot with a kit lens: 18-200mm....nice image quality there.
"A good habit for any beginner (I am still struggling with this one though) in my opinion is to not be shy to shoot anywhere.
If you get out your gear in a crowded place just ignore the interested or just plain weird looks of passers-by. In the past I have missed some nice opportunities just because they occured in a setting in which taking out a camera seemed awkward. Oh yeah, and always take along enough spare batteries and memory cards. Also, it pays off to check your gear before you set out ;) I nearly went bananas the other day when I I had checked the status of my batteries before leaving the house but when on site I realized that I had left my CF in the card reader at home... Luckily I had my backup cam (an A620) with me." - i also have this problem.
From a beginner's point of view...the mind boggles at all the information available and terms like "depth of field", "apeture" and "ISO" can be intimidating. But, I have to say, I've learned more on Caedes in a couple of weeks than I ever would have reading books on my own for years. The discussion groups, viewer commments, and the great photos themselves have all been very instructive...THANK YOU!
