Comparing prices of modern compacts and bridge cams versus SLR's,and as Rose has mentioned it is easier just to have one cam,and no lens changes.I have seen the 300D for sale at around £100-200.It was around £950,when new 3-4yrs ago!!!.This cam,or the Nikon equivalent ,can be used with say a Tamron 28-300 lens,which is virtually useful for all types of shots,landscapes,not too wide,but it is okay,if a bird is not too far away and a decent size,Gull etc,again the 300mm focal length is okay.Excellent for close ups of children ,dogs etc,and family groups,also the lens is set up to take macro shots.So for the price of a new compact or bridge cam,one can have an SLR with the higher pixels,which are acceptable,and a low cost ,but very good lens,which is also very lightweight.Just an idea.
