Well, being there smooth bear, I am sure you will have your own market who can appreciate you. Work towards those who appreciate who, instead of focusing on the "lacks" others think about you, just you dont suit their cup of tea. Eg . I give you my own example. During the month of Dec, I changed my exercise regime entirely, so I lost about 6-7 kg. My waist lost another 3-3.5 inches. So overall, people have commented I look more lean, tight with my veins popping along my arms, chest and legs etc. 2 weeks ago, I met a friend's friend whom I found, yes cute and lean fit, but he is a chaser. Over dinner, he can tell me, he likes my face, but not my bod. If I put on another 15kg for him, he will sure date me out. But the back of my head was saying " Yeah right, over my dead body will I do that for you. Last night, by chance I met a friend who put on so much weight (about 15 at least) He used to be pretty dashing, the fit kind that most peple will find appealling. I was surprised with this sudden change. A year ago, he met a muscular chap that he fell for , but the chap is only into chubs and bears. Thus to gain his affection, my friend actually forgo his fit image , stopped exercising, ate and ate and put on about 16kg within 5months. Sadly, that guy dumped him for another chub. At 29, he has so much of health complications he imposed upon himself through the weight he gained. So my point is, if you ever want to change your image, do it for yourself, but not for fickle people who don't appreciate who you really are.

If you buy Canon off the shelf, there should be a free course. I bought Sony a55 and just managed to sign up for a basic course though I know a little about SLR which is similar to DSLR. Have not moved to DSLR as I was still comfy with ultra-featured compacts till end last year. My kit lens is only 18-55mm and bought 3rd party macro and telephoto attachments as well as TTL flash and ring flash from overseas as it is cheaper. Canon 500D or 550D are good camera body and the other is the lenses. Generally, you have a good zoom lens for both basic macro and telephoto ... useful for travel photography. I guess for a start, borrow some basic books ... if you can, get a book solely on Canon 550D which I know Chinese books in Bras Basah might have. Know what kind of photography you like to focus on which makes it easier ... e.g. travel photography, macro photography, portrait photography, sports photography and so on .... this will help you also to decide what type of lenses are useful. Then, start with Auto mode and see how the camera compose the shots though not all Auto mode have very good adjustments. Note the f-stop and iso and so on ... After that, play with P mode using different ISO so see the effects ... These two will take some time for you to digest. Then look for the how you like to compose the shots using Auto and P mode ... see pictures you like and try to duplicate them then slowly you'll learn about A and S and M functions. A step at a time and soon you'll get the hang of taking nice photographs.
