I am not rich by any means, but feel if you want to advance, you should buy the best you can afford. I think any beginner that invest in inferior gear you will not be happy with what you get later down the road. I think if you look at it like driving a car. I learned on a stick and then it was very easy to drive an automatic. So why learn on an automatic then try to relearn on a stick. I think if you want an easy camera then this one is not for you. But if you want to advance this is a great tool to learn on. Yes a pro can take great pics on a disposable camera. But if all you ever use is a disposable you may never learn to get any better.
I know I am only a beginner and you may dismiss my thoughts as just one guys feelings. But I know that I got one great camera and one great learning tool.
Thanks,

I might have been to harsh, or just thinking badly. When I meant beginner i was trying to lump all people into the same category. I am thinking of people that I know that want a camera that takes good photos and do not want to think about anything else. However some of these same people are under the impression that getting a DSLR will allow them to be better photogrophers. And I know this is both true and false. It allows them more choice, and at time choice can lead to problems, and cause people to give up on it. That is what I was trying to say. Sorry for the bad syntax on my part.
