Re: Camera Choices

Sara, from reading your previous thread it sounds as though a £1000 investment in a DSLR may be a bit hasty. You say you've yet to even try your current Fuji S5500 for outdoor shots. My advice would be to fully utilise your current camera (which is a decent one) before deciding whether it fails to meet your needs and deciding that you need a DSLR. If you have yet to master the basics of wildlife or landscape photography, even though you already own a good camera, you are unlikely to reap the benefits of a DSLR - a type of camera which has a very steep learning curve.

I think the choice of which DSLR is for you would be easier if you had fully familiarised yourself with your current camera since you would know exactly how the Fuji fails to meet your needs and hence you would know what your requirements are in terms of ISO range, no. of pixels, lens types etc.

best wishes,

Matt
