I just recently got into "just hanging out" photography and I don't plan on making this into too big of a hobby.. Though I do have to say it feels good when someone tells you "wow, that's a nice picture". A friend of mine got me into playing with the camera, and ever since (about a month ago), I went and purchased a simple P&S camera. Sony DSC-W70. Maybe one day my funds will allow for a SLR :)
