<p>[QUOTE="xtrmbrdr, post: 530745, member: 17193"]<span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">I recently went from a Sony point and shoot to a Canon XSI dslr, there is certainly a learning curve to a dslr but you can also put it in point and shoot mode and take good pictures. The point and shoots don't have much adjustment that can be made to the settings, there is also an advanced point and shoot that gives you some of the same settings of a dslr, but typically there are no lens options, the one I was looking at was around $400. I decided to spend a few hundred more and get something that I could use for anything, coins, portraits, wildlife, macros, landscapes, etc. I also bought a reversing ring (about $10) that allows you to turn your lens backwards so you can take extreme close ups (macros) without the expense of a new lens, although I plan to get a macro lens down the road.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Fred</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
