Ok Thanks for all your advice!
With regard to the Fuji, it is great for macro work. I did use it last year when all the stag beetles were about, and must say i did get some nice detailed shots, so I see exactly what you are saying there. I would like to get into Macro a bit more as this camera is quite good on that front.
Im sorry I dont explain myself very well, the new camera will be for end of summer/autumn time, so I have got the winter to get used to it before all the spring activity next year, so Iv still got time to get to grips with all the technical stuff on the Fuji. I think I am doing well considering that I have only just started using the Fuji again, I only used it before for macro shots of my lizards and the Beetles last year. I just need a hand with the manual settings on it, I get what they all do and what they are there for but not entirely sure how to put it into practice. I need to do some more reading!
I did read that the Canon 18-55mm is soft at small apertures. I wasn't sure on the kit lenses, so thanks for clearing that up!

Thanks for that. I have started to see my first butterflies this week, and the bees are out in force, so I would like to give it a go. The flowers are starting to come out now too, so ideal time to start i reckon!
Thanks again for your advice, I think when i do get a new camera I'll certainly have a good look at the Canon, and see about a better lens.
