I feel like I've been waiting a millenia! (yes, patience is not one of my strong points)
but, my 350D finnally arrived. I'm so excited! 
Unfortuantely I have to wait until friday for the memory to arrive before I can actually save the photos 
But still, yay! I also got the Speedlight 580EX flash with an omni diffuser and should be getting the 50mm f/1.8 lens this week too. I'm just too spoilt 
Hopefully by the weekend I'll have photos to post...

Excellent. There are several people with 350Ds here, and they look like they do a very nice job.

I love the smell of a new camera more than new car smell. I love the box. I keep it around for weeks.

What's firmware? Is it for the actual camera?

Firmware - yup, updates the "software" on the camera. Updates are mostly issued by manufacturer to fix bugs or problems, and sometimes introduce some new features too.
Here's the list of firmware updates for Canon users:

I think the 350D is up to firmware version 1.0.2:

Firmware updates are pretty easy to do - download the firmware file and copy it on to your card using your PC, and then select firmware update from the menu...

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Thanks Adrian!
Yes, the 580EX is a bit scary for me hehehe so far I've used it on auto, and I like it!
I'm sure I'll 'grow' into it, we all need to be challenged, right?
But at least I know the way around my camera because it is quite similar to the film SLR I had.
Julian, My camera came with version 1.0.3 so I don't think I need to update yet. But thanks anyway.
