Thank you so much for your posts I have learnt so much already.
my Dad has a Fuji which I was very impressed with but its 10X Zoom is no where near enough for what i want and like you say to get good glass costs, but I have to make a decision if it is worth spending a lot of cash now or getting a cheaper option and learning the craft and then going for the full monty later.
I am going to have a good luck around and E Bay could be a good place to get a bargain at the moment. I do fancy a DSLR but its just wether I will be disapointed with the results until I can get a big chunky lens on it?
You have all got some great pics and I am even more desperate to get out and get snapping!!!
I may have some more questions later if thats ok
Thanks again
Andy
