I have thousands (>3,000) on my hard drive, probably 4-5,000 on my old work computer and a few thousand on my personal site:
www.praisecafe.org and maybe a thousand on some compact flash cards I haven't downloaded yet
I was never the camera geek growing up, but in the last few years I've more than made up for it.
This is my first non-point-and-shoot camera tho
Tell me how you like the 70-300 IS, I am borrowing an old 75-300 or something like it from someone I work with for my little trip in a few weeks, It seems to work pretty well, IS would be nice tho
Where do you get your hard-copy prints done? At home? If so, what kinda printer? I've used Walmart recently for some nice black and white prints and another site online for larger prints (can't remember right now). I think it's cheaper to get them done by someone else right now, printers are not that expensive, but the paper and ink is crazy
