I would like to know if images are less likely to come out blurred than they probably would on my compact Sony camera (especially with moving buses). And would the image quality be noticeably better than my photos on my current camera. Downside to a DSLR from what I can see is that you can't zoom in, unless you fork out a fortune for lenses so I would probably just have to crop all my photos before uploading to Flickr.
I'm currently not sure how much I want to spend on a camera right now but I'm probably looking at around the £300 - £400 mark, having a quick look at the Argos catalogue one I'm currently looking at is the Nikon D3200 which costs around £270 in the Argos catalogue and Currys website, this one probably would be a good call for me but I am also having a look at the Nikon D5200 but it costs around £450 although Currys have it for £429 but I'm not sure if I would want to spend this much on a camera and would be worth the extra £150 over the Nikon D3200.
I want to know what you think I should do and which I should go for, or if you have any other camera suggestions.
I plan to keep my Sony DSC-WX200 camera for when a DSLR would be too bulky to carry and it still comes out with some great quality photos especially in the summer - this being one of my favourites.
I always find my Olympus SZ-14 a handy little camera... although if I take photos in the shade, it's rubbish. (Arriva 7529 in the shade)
A DSLR is too expensive for me, especially with the amount of cameras that I've been through over the years.
