My first "proper" camera...

Re: My first "proper" camera...

The problem some people have, is that they don't understand how to properly use a DSLR camera that they have purchased. By the way, the newer kit lenses are great.

I have used two Canon T2i (550D) cameras for over four years with kit lenses. Fortunately, when I started using Canon DSLR cameras I already had more than four years experience using Olympus DSLR cameras, so the learning curve wasn't long.

After about two months of first using my Canon T2i (550D) camera with one of the kit lenses, I was able to get photos like this. And if you didn't know, the Canon T2i (550D) camera got Dpreview's Gold Award in its reviews. You might want to look over that review and try to understand why you could not come to the same conclusion as Dpreview. Recognize also that the Canon T2i (550D) camera was manufactured a long time ago, so the technology is much older.

Why were you disappointed in the weight? Didn't you read the specs before you purchased the camera?
