[QUOTE="eric, post: 801649, member: 22327"] i have to agree with scathe. a good compact will allow you more opportunities as a casual photographer since you don't have to lug around an extra bag for your stuff. once you figure out the basics, and can take a decent photo with a point and shoot - learning things like how and when to use a simple flash, how to use the sun and other lighting sources, how to focus (this helps a lot even with a p&s), and most importantly, how to compose a good shot. if you take to it, a point and shoot is still a good tool to have around, but you can upgrade to a DSLR with the knowledge that you actually really enjoy photography and understand the basics.
