Try a Nikon D40 po. It’s not too heavy, and it’s cheap too. Last time i checked, it’s 22K php nalang. (At least these address two of your family’s concerns. hehe). I’m loving mine.

I agree with Nina… Composition matters no matter what type of camera youre using… I can see that your photos are great (butterfly and flower) dont even bother to buy a DSLR camera.. Unless you really want to explore and become a Pro.

@zherwin- isn’t dlsr getting cheaper these days?

@Ferdz- really now? 40? thanks. Now what brand would be selling light weight dlsr?

@nina- lucky. my hubby is hopeless with gadgets.

@laarni- sure will add you in my links page

@nina- thanks for the backpack tip! I thought I saw you holding a DLSR. I don’t know if I can afford it too. I’ll see.

Ah, the DSLR. It’s true that you can get clearer and crisper photos with a DSLR, but in the end, it’s the composition that matter. Then again, that’s coming from a frustrated wannabe photographer who can’t afford a DSLR!

As for the backpack, it does pay to invest on a good brand. I’m using a Victorinox backpack, and the best thing about it is that when you have both straps on your shoulder, it seems some of the weight have disappeared. I’m not sure if they have a camera bag, but I do know they have backpacks with laptop fittings.

Good luck on your travel goal this year Ms. Noemi! Yan din ang goal ko this year

We have a DSLR, Nikon D70s, but we still carry p&s for quick shots. I always wanted to travel with my hubby so somebody can carry our DSLR and take photos But I think I also need to learn how to take photos so I will not be dependent with mu husband…

Seriously your 50?!! Honestly ha walang bola I thought at first you were around early to mid 40s.

Anyways, thanks to advancement of technology and competitions from manufacturers, new DSLRs are lighter, more compact and user friendly now which you’ll find out. Even the lenses. Just buy a very good “All-around” walkabout lens (not the kit lens) and you’re all set. Just don’t be trapped with photo gear lust and all

As for Lomo, I think it’s a very creative and artistic system. I have film roots din but had to switch to Digital for practicality and fast file turnovers.

I hope you recapture your photography passion again. It’s never too late.
