[QUOTE="CackalackyMac, post: 423507, member: 33041"] Brendan- If you decide to go with a "bridge" camera (i call them mockSLR's), i would recommend picking up a used Sony F828. The optics are Carl Zeiss, and it gives you the same controls as an SLR without loosing the functionality of having an active LCD. It's a great camera with great glass. I shot a lot of great concerts and weddings on it's predecessor, the F717, and will be buying an F828 to suppliment my canon as soon as some funds are clear. It sounds like you really have the photo bug- just know that getting into DSLRs, while being quite fun, is a bit like heroin. It's expensive, addictive, and you'll always be wanting more :-) no scars or chemical dependency, though. [/QUOTE]
