Re: Which is best?

Of course, the other option - which hasn't been mentioned because you started off by mentioning dslrs - is to avoid 'signing up' to a particular sytem and buy a so called 'bridge camera' which has most of the facilities of an dslr but with a fixed zoom lens. Most seem to agree that in this category the Panasonic and Fuji are the leaders.

If you're just starting out in photography that might be a better bet, as it will allow you to concentrate on learning about speed ,aperture composition etc. without getting bogged down learning the technicalities and operating systems of the dslr system.

Bottom line is to buy something that will give you some pleasure and produce prints that you're happy with.
