Kuya Don (Yumang) once criticized me, for a person who loves taking pictures, I don't have a camera of my own. NOT EVEN A POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA. How come I have so many pictures in my albums???? One, I use my trusty Sony Ericsson K800i camera phone. Two, I borrow my brother's Olympus FE-350 8MP Point and Shoot Camera. And most recently, three, I borrow my sister's Sony Cybershot 8MP Point and Shoot Camera. Hahahaha!!!! That's how pathetic I am. No camera listed to my name.
So in response to all the nagging, I finally took the initiative to look for a camera, a DSLR. Been studying which camera to buy and I'm leaning towards Canon's EOS 450D, and as advised by most of my friends. But before diving into the DSLR world, I felt the need to read on what I need to know about these cameras, I didn't want my hard earned moolah to go to waste just because I went out on a whim and bought the first DSLR I could get my hands on. I found helpful websites that helped me determine what I want in my DSLR, and what I could do with it. Now, I want more! I don't think I'll be satisfied with the kit lens of the EOS 450D! And what I want is a lot more expensive!!! I hate it! Now I think I'll have to settle for a point and shoot camera. hahaha!
Here are some of the sites that I found really helpful for someone like me who's totally a newbie:

Also big thanks to my anak Ronald and Louie for helping me figure out the things I could barely understand with all these DSLR jargon.. Now, what to do?? Off to Hidalgo I go??? hahaha!
