DSLR or not

Agree with that too, nothing wrong with "old" as far as the camera itself goes, any camera is eventually going to be old.

For an experiment, I did some pricing up. Nikon D80 + grip + kit 18-135 + 70-300 VR = £1200. That gives me slightly more at both wide and telephoto than a typical bridge camera (27-450 vs 36-432), but I do understand both lenses are going to be compromises and not the best. As tempting as that is, I still suspect I'd be making a bad choice.
