| High digital zoom #'s were basically a marketing ploy to get people to buy a certain camera. |

Really depends on the conditions/situation that you are shooting? That's why a lot of folks here have a DSLR. When conditions/situation changes you can change the ISO in mid shoot. Otherwise you have to change film in the middle of a shoot or have a separate camera loaded with a different film. |

ya the higher the iso of the film the more sensitive it is to light. thus you can shoot at faster shutter speeds. however, the higher the iso the more grain you get. same with digital, it's just you dont get grain, you get digital noise

If you really love the outcome of the camera you currently have keep it whether you get another camera or not. ITs something you can use over and over again . It fits nicely in your pocket.

This may be a matter of opinion... My camera doesn't have that feature, which I know limits my range, but is that really a bad thing? I mean, should I invest in something a lot more expensive with a lot more features when I really love the outcome (and the comments) of the pics I get out of the one I have? (I hope that didn't come out weird). |

Too many people here get better cameras because they think it will improve their photography. This simply isn't true. As far as learning goes, it's far better to push your existing equipment to it's limits so you can understand WHY you need a better camera and know what you're going to do with it. Otherwise it's a little like being at the controls of a jumbo jet with no training.
Learn the basics of composition and develop a good photographic eye before you splash out on a more expensive camera. |

That's great advice in general, but bear in mind that his current camera is EXTREMELY limiting. It's still fun to play with, but it has essentially zero manual-adjustment capability, so there's a limit to what he can learn with it.

...a digital SLR is also a great learning tool. in the end, it is much cheaper to learn photography with a digital SLR than a film SLR.
