This is a hobby I've grown into since 2006 when my first son, Tadej, was born, immediately I bought a digital point & shoot camera, I came home and took a few pictures, I was so dissapointed with IQ (Image Quality), truth was that even with P&S camera you need to learn how to use it to take good photos. The very next day I've sold it and bought my first APSc DSLR, the Canon 350D, also know as Digital Rebel. It took me 6-7 years to move from green setting to some other alphabet letter like A or S then slowly I started using M on occasions. Hope you'll enjoy it ...
