One of My Hobbies: Photography

I love taking pictures even though I am not good at it. Taking pictures of my son is one thing I like to do. How I wished I have a SLR so I can take better pictures :-). But this thing is really expensive and if I really want to get myself one, then I need to save for it. Lucky is my brother who got a SLR for a gift from us during our visit in the Philippines this June.

I would like to get the Nikon D3100 because according to consumer report this is the best one for your money.
