i chose nikon (D3100, 2 years old na so "obsolete" na siya), for the reason that nikon dslr can use lenses of the old nikon slr film cameras. so kung on a budget ka for lenses pwede ka bumili ng second hand. di ko pa lang nga nahahanap sa quiapo yung lenses na gusto ko. i'm presently using a Sigma 18-250 for my all around lens. di naman ako pro, i just want good photos of my family and mahilig din kami magbyahe. one thing though, having a dslr hanging on your neck for a week can be very tiring.
