Thanks for those words of advice! At the moment I only have one lense for my 3000N and it's the kit lense. I'm hoping that any extra lenses I buy in the future will be able to be used on both.

Money is quite tight at the moment and if I go ahead with the purchase... wel... let's just say my fiance is going to "own" me for quite some time!

I feel I've gone as far as I can with my Olympus now and after playing with the 3000N (which I've not had for long) I can't wait to get my hands on a DSLR.

I don't plan on taking any pictures of anything fast right now as most of my pictures are of sunsets, clouds, "general scenes" and anything else where I can take my time. Anything has got to be better than my Olympus - the time that takes to start up seems like forever!
