Am new to the forum and posting my first question so please be gentle with me...
The quandry me and the wife have is we need to buy a new camera, current one is a Fuji E550, after looking around at a few differnt models we can't decide wether to go for a SLR or stick with a bridge camera.
Models we have looked at and liked in SLR: Canon 400d, Nikon D40X, I have also just read Jessops are currently advertising a Sigma SD14 with £200 cash back (£499 starting price).
Compacts we have looked at and liked are: Canon G9, Fuji S8000, Canon SX100IS.
We need the camera for family pictures, holiday pictures, etc, etc. Our current camera suffers from slow shot to shot speed, images can be a little noisy and when taking photos of our little girl - rather blurry. Whilst we are basic users, at the moment, I have always preffered to buy something that will allow us to learn, rather than be held back - I have also noticed that the slr gives a better image than the compact when both set on auto mode.
Sorry for the long post.
regards,
Matt
