As there are some excellent photographers on this here forum, I thought it might be a good place to get some advice before I splash out a load of money.
I use a point and shoot at the moment, but I want to go to the next level. I want better quality.
Thing is, I can't decide whether to go the whole hog and get a digital SLR, or to get one of these expensive point and shoot ones- like the Panasonic Lumix which has 12x zoom, and 8MP. These cost about £350.
What is the advantage of an SLR? Is there less image noise becuase processors are involved less?
Can anybody recommend a model that is good value for money- e.g. 7-8 MP, at least 55mm zoom, good model?
also, i'd like one that takes XD picture cards, as i already a 1GB one.
Advice appreciated. :cheers:
