Yeah, I think I will go for the 3G. Thanks!

I have never heard of that, but it looks really neat. I don't have DSLR camera though. Since I recently got a job I am going to buy myself a new regular digital one then go for the DSLR, as the digital one I have now just isn't cutting it. I HATE this camera I have with a burning passion. If I were you, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That looks totally awesome.

Dumb question here probably, but why get a regular p&s digital first? Trust me it's well worth the money and waiting to save up a bit longer for the DSLR. I couldn't believe the difference until I got one myself. Just a thought.

Well, I don't really care about waiting, I can wait I just NEED a camera. But the thing is, DSLR's are too big to carry around. I take my camera everywhere and I want a thin P&S as well that I can take virtually anywhere, that is easy to carry around. I have a very old film DSLR that I cannot IMAGINE carrying around, and although the new DSLR cameras are smaller I can't carry them around either. Plus, if I got a DSLR my parents probably wouldn't let me take it kayaking, to the beach, or really any place I normally would take it just for fun. I wish I knew of a camera that was both, but I researched on amazon and many other sites and came up with nothing so I would rather get separate cameras. I would only use the DSLR for real photography.

Your right Alyssa, I only use my DSLR for my photography. I do take it to many places it can get ruined, you just have to be careful and have a bag to carry it in when not shooting. To just take simple snapshots of friends and such, I use a point and shoot. Although, you can still do photography on a point and shoot. I've seen some pretty awesome pictures you would never guess came out of a P&S.

That's exactly my "problem". My DSLR will definitely NOT fit in my purse and I can't just take it everywhere as it gets in the way... when we vacationed in Hawai'i, I used my point and shoot for everythin; kayacking, hiking, on the beach -- places and things I just didn't want to risk breaking my DSLR just because I wanted "good" pictures. But for photography when I can plan accordingly, I definitely bring it

That's exactly why I didn't buy one. But, I'm realising now that I'm going to want a DLSR also because my Powershot doesn't do all the things I'd like it to. I'm going to make that my goal for Christmas.

Yeah a DSLR is not exactly purse/pocket friendly that's for sure!

If you're looking for a new camera (P&S or DLSR) try www.stevesdigicam.com they have very thorough reviews with screenshots of menus and pix from every angle of the camera and buttons. Good luck with whatever you decide to get.
