I am so confused. I hear and read all the hype of getting an SLR so if anyone can give me an opinion, that would be great. I am looking at either a bridge camera (the Sony Cybershot DSC-HX1) or the Nikon D3000. I really only take photos of special events and I rarely print the out. Is there really a benefit to getting an entry-level lower DSLR versus getting a high-end SLR-like camera?
I'm in the same boat as you... did you ever make a decision? This camera is appealing to me because of the guide mode, but it's a little pricey, especially taking in the fact I need memory cards, a case, extra battery, etc. I'm considering this, but I have a feeling I'll probably end up with either the HX1 or the Canon SX20. Let me know what you decide!
