If you want to learn a bit more about photography you can without the hassle of a DSLR.

The compact I have is all automatic with a few macro setting ets.. It's about 4 years old now..

It's the the light and focus I have a problem with. I think it's sad that a 35mm compact I have produces better quality prints than a digital. It's something I'd certianly like to get into but nothing too seriously.
