I think I have outgrown my point and shot digital

[Steve Molcsan]

You mean to tell me that you have been taking all your pics with a simple point and shoot digital?!
Man do I feel humbled. I can only imagin what you could do with something more high tech.

I know what you mean, I almost missed the bumble bee in the forefront
due to beautiful colorful scenery in the back ground.


It certainly is a nice pic from a standard point & shoot...

Nikon and Canon would be your best choices in DSLR, but don't rule out Pentax, Sony or Olympus. You don't need a pro level camera body, but a pro level lense is a must if you want to get the best colors and sharpness. This could cost you some bucks, but a 50mm from Nikon or Canon is only around $100 and one of the finest lenses every made. With any camera, sharpness can be greatly increased with the use of a tripod.
