[QUOTE="gilesjuk, post: 373764, member: 29394"] Forget DSLR unless you can devote some decent funds to it. Cheap lenses produce poor results for the most part. DSLR's are all about having good glass, building up a good set of lenses and then swapping camera bodies as and when you feel like an upgrade. The cheapest way of learning DSLR would be something like a Canon 350d new or second hand, maybe a 300d and the firmware hack (makes it like a 10d). Then a 50mm f1.8 prime and later a 85mm f1.8 prime. Good zooms cost a fortune, you're better off with primes when you have no money to spend. Not having zoom makes you think more about composure and your legs are good for zooming :) You can learn the basics of depth of field, aperture, shutter speed etc.. with a compact that has full manual control. The Fuji F30 is a good camera for low light and low noise at high ISO. [/QUOTE]
