I have always been in love with photography,and its one of my passion.Somehow wanted me to take a lesson or study short course about photography but as a brand new mom,thats way to impossible at the moment. For this Christmas i am eying to buy a new camera precisely the DSLR CANON 500D.Currently i'm using the SONY DSC-N1 series and i super love it because its very handy and the features are great.But as time goes by,new tech's are coming out,and i fell inlove with the new CANON DSLR.My cousin's are using this one and they told me this one is far better than the other DSLR.Though the price is competitive ,but the fact that its giving you the best results,then it would be highly appreciated.Better save enough so i could buy this one.. :-) GOODLUCK!! GOODLUCK!!
