October 2010, when I decided to buy my first DSLR Camera. For a month of searching and comparing prices all over the internet and some store in Cebu, I found a great deal in istorya.net forum. Not that cheap, but its price has a big difference compared in department store.
Here it is, the Canon EOS 1000D. Excellent for a newbie like me.

It's been a year since I have this DSLR but still I didn't explore yet all of the features and functions of my camera. There are lots to discover. I don't want to upgrade into higher DSLR unless I have known my 1000D entirely.
You can download the brochure of this product in Canon website.
