Go for it The only drawback of shooting with DSLR is its size - I used to shot with point-and shoot camera (Canon PowerShot A540) for two years before buying my first EOS and I actually shoot more often with it as it was not a problem to keep it at me all the time (unlike the DSLR) Anyway, the more I'm getting into photography the more I'm appreciating the possibilities DSLR has opened for me...
