I often get asked if an SLR is worth it. That really depends on what you are taking pictures of. Let me ask you the following questions to determine if you need an SLR.
1. Can you spend over $600 on a camera?
2. Do you use photoshop or other similar software?
3. Does the term HDR mean something to you?
4. Do you plan on making your own prints larger than 8x10?
I think that there are many point and shoot cameras that take stunning pictures. One camera that I am impressed with is the Canon SX110 is. It seems to have a great feature set at a modest price. I personally would like to own an SLR and I recommend Canon and Nikon for SLR cameras. If you decide to go with an SLR be aware that they take special batteries. Also, most owners end up getting additional lenses and flashes. If you need a camera on a budget, canon, fuji, and kodak make good entry level point and shoots. A great way to test drive a camera is to use flickr.com and go to their camera finder. You can browse by brand and model.
