So, I got the call on my answering machine at work that the camera was finally in.   Unfortunately, my lenses were not.  I "borrowed" a 35-80mm f4-5.6 USM that was priced at $68 in the used section of the store.  IIRC, this is the lens that comes packaged with some of the Rebel models, and seems a bit flimsy.  Definitely seems a bit slow (forget about indoor shots without a flash).

So, after spending a couple hours learning the basics for the camera last night, I took it to work this morning with full intentions to just fool around.  On the way home, I stopped by the Meadowlark Botanical Garden, and took some handheld shots of the flowers.

The camera was mostly in Av mode, with sharpness at +2.  ISO was mainly 100, with a couple at 200 (later photos).

Photos identified as USM are unsharp masked at 97%, 1.1 radius, 2 levels.

Needless to say, I am very pleased that I don't appear to have any fuzziness or focus issues, and look forward to what a "real" lens can do.
