Dang! Wish I read this post earlier - I got Vikas a sweater. ;-)
Vikas - you're single - spend it while you can. :) You aren't going to regret the purchase. |

| Many excellent rationales re: buying a DSLR. I especially like the suggestion to dump old gear on EBay. Having said all of that, the real question to ask yourself is: "Will I use all the advanced tech striving to become a serious hobbiest or pro or will I be using the new gear as simply another P & S? You know after second thought, if you have the cash make the dash!! As in high tail it to the store and buy the darn thing. Life's too short!! |

Dont dither, if you can afford it do it. You will be amazed at the difference between a P&S and a DSLR, It opens up a whole new world.

I went throught the process at a time when I could justtify a dSLR so I started doing my homework. I decided not to buy a dSLR but instead the Panasonic FZ20.
I have still not regretted that decision. One of the biggest reasons is that the more I read and see what others have and can do, I still have the best glass of any of them and some are having to spend thousands on just one lens that still won't do what I can in low light and/or long telephoto.
The rationale of my choice is in detail on my profile page

Next question for everyone
