Well.. if size is not a concern, I would still recommend buying 1 of the most inexpensive DSLR Canon or Nikon with the kit lens. It's not very expensive.., but it is easy enough for beginners, high image quality, and you can experience it's pro and con, and it's limitation so you know what's going to be your next step.! Such as down-grade to something smaller, or smaller or easier to use, or upgrade to other lenses, or body base on what your current camera wouldn't do...!
I have been enjoying my GF1 lately, and I think it's a good camera to try as well..! It's slightly smaller than DSLR, focus like point & shoot, acceptable noise and image quality, and it allow you to have acceptable depth of field control along with lens changing capability, external flash, etc..!
I only had my GF1 for a month, and I have the 2 pancake lenses and the telep. zoom. and the external flash..! I think it's a very fun camera to own...! |
