oh my god....sob....

i've just had a look at all the technical specs attached to all these cameras. i thought there would be a simple sort of 'this isn't the most advanced but it'll be good if you're just starting' answer to this question. i think it's time to bite the bullet and go to the camera shop where they give you stern stares if you go in and don't buy anything!
