B> We use a Sony FD-95 and Nikon CP5000 so have no experience with your camera

 B> plan
 B> to do so), and if there is any  particular area on which you seek
 B> assistance.

My "old" camera was a Minolta Dimage 7 but it took so long time
to auto-focus (over 5
sec) so I decided to change to a 300 D which does the job in less then 1 sec. and now
I can also take a 4 pic:s in a row.
I plan to take nice pic:s with it.  :-)
The price included a 95-200 lens.

I will bring the camera, including my Sony HandyCam video to Bulgaria in about 4
weeks so I have to learn to take nice pics fast.

What I'm wondering about is why there are symbols and functions for portrait,
lanscape aso. I can't see any difference between that and photographing in total
auto mode.
Canon also have a P(rogram) mode and the manual says that there isn't really
any difference between P and fully Auto so why do they have a P mode?

 B> Glad you broke the ice!

Living in Sweden, that is a normal thing to do.  :-)

 B> BTW, please use your real name or sign off with it in each message.  It's

I am using my real name but perhaps you can't see it since you use
a Internet connection. I can see your name though.
