I realised there are many people are into photography and at the same time the cost of owning a dlsr camera is also affortable now.
I got many friends who is into photography and they have successfully poisoned me into it. If you are serious is taking awesome pictures, you need to get a dslr camera for sure.
Bought my first dslr camera - Nikon D60. Basically, there are two major players in this field, that is Canon and Nikon. Both are good. But I kinda like Nikon and it lenses.
D60 comes with a 18-55mm VR lense. VR=Vibration Reduction. The package comes with 4GB SD card, tripod, nikon bad & Hoya UV filter.
This model is considered the entry level for a dslr camera. It is the smallest and lightest in its class. Of course you don't compare with a point & shoot camera, like my Panasonic Lumix TZ15.

I sold off the kit lense and bought a 18-105mm VR (which is the D90 kit lense).
I need a bigger zoom lense with extra weight to stablise the camera.
There are endless upgrades in equipment for photography. And it is not a cheap hobby.
Reading up some books and magazine of the photography skills and tactics.
It will not be difficult to learn anything if you have the passion for it.
