I know how expensive they are, but believe me, film and all of the associated costs involved in shooting it was actually way, way more expensive. This is the golden age for photography, I really believe. You’re ready when you can’t live without one: when you’re ready to scrimp and save to get one.

It's a matter of money. Should I spend the money on a good one, or should I settle for a point and shoot...that is the question. I’m ready for DSLR anytime. It’s a matter of money.

Plus the time lag... Oh, and one of my pet peeves... when you really need that flash, but you're waiting and waiting for the puny thing to power up and by the time it does, you've lost the chance for a great picture. VERY annoying! Altogether, a great list! How about when you start having so much fun taking pictures, you want MORE POWER (like Tim Allen and his power tools ;-) )

I was working doing rental property inventories and had to take hundreds of photos of each property and the restricted zoom and poor lighting drove me mad. My colleague had a Digital SRL and the difference in our pictures was amazing. I just couldn't justify the expense but am eagerly awaiting my brother to upgrade from his Canon EOS DSLR. I can but dream ;-) All so true. I was working doing rental property inventories and had to take hundreds of photos of each property and the restricted zoom and poor lighting drove me mad.

Shutter Lag is a nightmare with my new granddaughter that can't keep still for a second, Lighting indoors is always an issue and zoom too limited. Only problem is I don't have an uncle to leave me two thousand - but kids that seem to think I am made of money LOL All the above !

I can't tell you how many great moments I missed that were gone before the camera decided to fire. I stepped up and am catching the fleeting shots now. Well, most of them anyway.
