    wouldn't say hate..... :D
    but you might have had more reponse if you posted in the photography art and design section of the forum, though its also true that the reponce will probably be
    1# buy a canon/nikon
    2# don't buy nikon compacts they're rubbish, look at fuji and panasonic instead
    3# it won't be any good unless its a DLSR
    4# they doesn't want a SLR they want a compact
    5# random spam about how no-one uses film anymore and its turning into a lost art and anyone who uses photoshop is a cheat.

    etc until finally someone will say go look at dpreview

    Also, head to Jessops or similar and actually use the ones you're looking at. I remember choosing my DSLR I had two in mind, but it wasn't until I tried them out that I realised the Canon had a horrible, small handgrip, and I plumped for the nice-feeling Nikon instead.

    It's all well and good going by a review, but if it feels horrible you won't enjoy using it as much :)

    All you have to do now is sit back and wait for the recommendations to buy a 10x your budget super duper SLR

    Im not bitchin about the photo forum, its a forum thing in general

    If you want a basic point and shoot, it's fine.
