Upgrade sought

[fotosnflicks]

HI. I am Utkarsh, from India.
I have been doing pictures with a Canon Powershot G7 for quite some time. However I feel its time for an upgrade now. Canon EOS 1000D is one which I have shortlisted, primarily because it also fits in my budget convincingly.
The question I have is, is the upgrade goin to be a leap big enough for me or should I hold back and wait for some time till my budget cap increases??

Really appreciate your help.
Thanks.

It'll definitely be a big leap in image quality, useability and power. You'll be able to do much more, though in the long run. Up front, especially if it comes with the 18-55, you may find it a bit limiting. It wont do Macro like your G7 right out of the box, and it equates to only a 3x zoom (instead of the G7's 6x). But down the line, it'll be more suited and more powerful, for sure.
