[QUOTE="reverb, post: 225423, member: 16378"] It just seemed a natural progression. I had a Sony film P&S for several years, which got lost on a family day out. The obvious replacement was a digital Sony P&S (I had recently bought a computer). After a couple of years (just beyond warranty) the lens stuck, and the man in the shop suggested it was cheaper to buy a new camera than replace. So a Canon IXUS came next. This camera had the advantage that you did have the opportunity to play with manual settings if you wanted to - and I enjoyed seeing the difference you could make. A few months ago, my father-in-law lent me his Canon 30D, and I was staggered at the difference a good DSLR and lens could make. After weeks of comparing and agonising, I went for the D3200. Very pleased, two more lenses since, and at least a year of learning ahead before I even think about changing up. [/QUOTE]
