Just got a New Toy from old lady a Canon EOS 60D with a EFS 18-135 and a EFS 50-200 lenes.

1. Any advise for a noob to DSLRs

2. What is the best lens for close-up pics?

Here are some sample pics so far.

best lens for macro is 100mm macro hands down.

I think you have the settings very close on that, those are some excellent pictures.  I had the Canon T2i and ummm....dropped it.  Not like me, but accidents happen.  Any how, I digress...I am looking at picking up the 60D as well.  I believe with the stock lens they are going for about 1200 bucks right now.

 

Are you still liking it?

Nice shots!

 

We mostly use the Canon 100 mm f 2.8 1:1 macro.  The other workhorse is the Canon f 1.4 50 mm.

 

Your absolute BEST investment, if you don't already have one, will be a good tripod (most cheapies are unstable and don't pan well, and you have a nice camera you don't want hitting the ground).

 

Renee (Cranberry) just picked up a 24mm -70mm L-series lens ($$$) that she's getting used to using.  It's nickname amongst photographers is "the brick" because it's so heavy, but DAMN, it's nice glass!  She's shooting with a 5D Mk II body...I have her old (three cameras ago) 300D digital body as my toy.
