>>207355 Weeeell... new to canon is relative. I've had the camera and the lenses for about 6 months now. Yes, the 30mm 1.4 does look like a nice lens, though I personally rather buy only EF lenses (that can be used for both film and digital) so that option's pretty much discarded by default. :[ What you said about the speed on the 28 is true; it's only as fast as my big zoom. The 28 1.8 looks very nice too, specially because of the build and FTM. It's too expensive, though. I'll be getting a little bit of cash soon, so I might get to buy either the 35 or the 28 soon enough (actually leaning towards the 35 as yo guessed).
>>207361 Hmmmm I personally would like to keep on using my SLR, definitely over a point and shoot. One of the biggest problems with even manual point and shoots is that their lenses arent fast enough, their DOF is too wide for my taste (no selective focus, or even manual focus), and their lenses' apertures tend to have only two settings, which seems a little bit pointless, considering the DOF is so wide. As for RAW, I do shoot in that format all the time with the XTi. I would too on my point and shoot. Point and shoots might offer some control on speed, but their lenses generally dont have much control over aperture or even relevance on whether you control it or not, and I'm not exactly sure how big the advantage of using RAW on a point and shoot would be over simply using it as usual. Well, other than white balance, which actually is important. I don't know, I think I rather spend the 200 bucks on the small lens instead and use my good gear more.
>>207369 He's right about the GR-Ds. They seem like fine cameras, but they probably are a little bit over budget.
Thanks for the replies everybody, the absence of trolling is greatly appreciated. I'll look into these lenses and will try to put all of my gear into heavier use. Again, thanks a lot.
