The big disadvantage of a point and shoot is lag. Between power up and the first pic is like 7 seconds for Mojo. That's a photographic eternity. And the lag between pressing the button and taking the pic is also pretty bad. So back to an SLR, this time digital, DSLR.

The Pentax is no where near as popular as the Nikons and the Cannons. But it is terrific, I think. And it uses AA batteries, helpful when traveling to Peru and Namibia. And it can use my old Pentax flash and a few other 20 year old accessories from the Pentax SLR my dad gave me when I graduated from high school. Bonus!
Superb resolution, up to 10MP, excellent reaction time (instant), and I sprang for the 300mm zoom lens. That's a lot of zoom.
It won't make me a better creative artist. But it will make it easier for me to do some things I want to. And that is worth it.
