At $80, the 50mm f/1.8 is probably the cheapest lens you can buy, but it takes great photos.

Thanks so much!

I'm really curious because I want to purchase a new camera soon... so it's pretty easy to use? So you buy the camera and then buy the lenses separately?

Also is very bulky or just moderately?

What fabulous pictures!!! And your baby has such super white teeth! Do you do anything special to them?
He's so very handsome!!!

Great pix! The little boy is not too shabby either! lol He is cute and his teeth are so white! Great job!

My two haven't had bully sticks in a while because I have one that gets mean with them. Well, he gets very possessive. It's just an ugly scene.

Bully sticks are the best!

That's right. You buy the camera body and then the lenses. Most Canon Digital Rebels are available with a "kit" lens, which is a fine all-around lens. And with that setup, you'll take better photos than with any--and I do mean any--compact point-and-shoot camera (P&S).

There are some trade-offs, though.

First, the whole rig will run you around $500, which is probably at least double what you'd pay for a good P&S.

Second, unless you get one of the most expensive ones, you'll have to take pictures using the viewfinder, not the screen on the back.

Third, because you can't preview your image on a screen, you have to know a little bit about auto-exposure and autofocus to get the most out of your camera even it the automatic settings.

Fourth, the camera is bulkier.

But, despite all these trade-offs, it's more than worth it to get a DSLR. It is absolutely impossible to take pictures like the ones I've posted with a P&S (i.e., with the real blurry background). To do that, you need a lens with a large aperture (f/2.8 or better) and P&S cameras simply are physically unable to offer that.

Let me know if you need any more info, and thanks for the compliments!

Thank you very much! We brush his teeth once a week, but I think the pictures are a little over-exposed, and might make his teeth look whiter than they really are. They're still in really good shape, just not quite as gleaming white as they look.

My Lucky just received a few bully sticks from his YT gift exchange buddy. He hasn't had the pleasure of a good chew on one for quite a while. Here is a picture of him enjoying his.....
...."Yummy!"

[Hansch99]

Very cute! I love how they stick them so far back in their mouths . . . gotta clean those molars!
