So I'm new to /p/. But I've been an amature photographer for years... So here's the deal, tomorrow I have a Cannon Xsi 12.2mp, and a Sigma 70-300mm coming in the mail<thanks amazon>. I've only ever really worked with my p.o.s. Nikon Coolpix L4. But I've been able to do some amazing things with that little point and click<picture related> So this being my first time using an actual SLI, what are some things I need to know? And also how long do you think it'll be before I start turning out images that I feel confident enough to post here, with it.Thankyou for your time.EXIF data available.
