we're on the same situation sis. last week hindi din ako makadecide. but since ive been using nikon coolpix for too long, i decided to just opt for a dslr model para maiba naman. like you, wala din ako balak to learn photography pero who knows diba? so dslr na ako.

hmmm... share ko na lang thoughts ko dito:

Digicam
Pros: maliit, handy, may video (depende sa model), budget-friendly
Cons: wala akong maisip but yung MP, every year laging may mas mataas na lalabas and you would feel the need to upgrade

DSLR
Pros: maganda talaga kuha, mukhang pro hahaha!
Cons: magastos sa lenses and other accessories, malaki hirap bitbitin pag may formal occasions panira ng porma ;D

siguro kung automatic settings lang gagamitin mo sa DSLR, mag digicam ka na lang. tas itabi mo yung excess budget for something else.

in my case, i have both ;D sony cybershot (pero super lumang model na from 2007) and canon 450d.

depende kung san mo gagamitin:

kung carry everywhere, casual pics - point and click

kung photography enthusiast - dslr

Natatawa ako sa mga bumibili ng dslr then nasasayang lang. feeling photographer.

actually hindi naman panira ng porma ang magbitbit ng DSLR hehe... mabigat lang talaga...
mas maporma ang dating kaso pag di marunong dun nagiging panira... haha.... sa hawak pa lang malalaman mo na kung marunong gumamit...
sayang din kasi ang DSLR kung hindi ma maximize ang gamit...

share ko lang..

ako naman, meron ako dslr dati kasi binalak ko mag-aral ng photography. pero since marami ako kasama na magaling na kumuha at magaganda na talaga yung mga dslr nila, nag-copy nalang ako ng pics nila. hahaha..  ;D e kasi pag nag-travel, gusto ko talaga i-enjoy yung place tapos sila, todo set-up sila para sa mga shots so kumakain ng oras. second reason, gusto ko din kasama ako sa mga pictures madalas kaya kapag ikaw yung may magandang camera, di ka kasali sa picture. ngayon, binenta ko na yung dslr ko dahil kelangan ko ng pandagdag sa investment ko. at sabi ng photography instructor ko sa may greenhills, yung mga professional photographers, half the time naka Program Auto daw yung mga yun. Jooooke. so pagalingan nalang kumuha ng angle at ng moment na pi-picturan. :P

ngayon naman sa digicam.. may mga powerful na na digicams ngayon like yung Panasonic Lumix, Canon G11, etc etc. ako, digicam na lang ako ngayon and Lumix ginagamit ko. sa Lumix kasi, para na siyang mini-dslr. pwede mo kabitan ng lens (telefoto or wide lens), pwede mo din kabitan ng flash kasi may hot shoe na siya.. so para sakin, ok na iyon. plus the fact na madali lang siya bitbitin and maganda din naman ang quality ng pictures ng Lumix LX3 ko. :)

sorry, napahaba ba? hehe

tama un i agree with you... lagi kang wala sa pics pag ikaw ang merong magandang cam... better bring a tripod at remote.. hehe..

saka expect mo na laging madami ang dala mo sa mga travel if you own a DSLR.. syempre may extra batts , tripod, flash.. kung [textspeak!] ano pang accesories...

depende lang talaga yan sa tao bakit mo gusto ng DSLR...

^korek! hassle pa yung tripod lagi mo bitbit. as if naman magaan siya. LOL.. oh well, syempre mas magaan mas mahal. ;D at isa pa, kung dslr.. expect na continuous expense yun dahil gugustuhin mong bumili ng mga additional lens, etc etc. POV ko lang po. hehe  :)

pero kung serious ka about photography, get a DSLR. haha. ako kasi hindi masyado e. peace! :P

p&s is very handy. vivid at sharp din naman yung shots. swak na for my travels. pero later on napansin ko pati facial feautres ko ang sharp ng kuha. haha that's why I also got a dslr para soft and dreamy yung effect. :)

up to you kung ano priority mo, landscape ba o people? basta for me hindi madali i-achieve yung soft na portrait shots pag p&s.

Well, kung ilalagay mo lang din sa auto mode, might as well get a digicam na lang kasi sayang naman ang dslr kung pang point and shoot mo lang din gagamitin.  ;)

Get a P&S first. Then get the dslr IF you discover that you actually enjoy and have a certain talent in photography. :P

know your needs and wants.  know your budget.  then do your research kung anong camera gusto mo.  mag practice muna sa p&s tapos kung tingin mo may talent ka to go into serious photography saka mo i consider buying a dslr.  mahirap kasi sumabak sa dslr tapos mafru frustrate ka lang in the end kasi di mo ma maximize yung gamit nya.  i have both dslr and p&s.   and i enjoy using my lumix lx3.  sabi ko nga sa husband ko kaya ilampaso ng lx3 ko yung mga kuha ng mga newbie na naka dslr  :)  seryoso yan, marami na kasing p&s na ok kumuha ng pics.  well dapat lang naman siguro kasi ang mahal mahal nila for a p&s.

I feel you sis. That was my dilemma, too. I got myself a Canon Powershot G11. In between lang siya. They call it the "intelligent camera" haha :)) You can use it as P&S, you can also use it as a DSLR, you can even attach lens and flash to it. :) Another option you might consider is the Panasonic Lumix LX5 :)

the LX3 sells for about P18k now, LX5 P27k daw.  so that's a nine thousand peso difference.  ano ba meron ang LX5 na wala ang LX3?  sa pagkakaalam ko eh main difference nila yung video.  sorry, di ko masyado na research kaibahan nila.  but here's the deal...kung ako yun i would still settle for the lx3.  bakit?  ang need ko kasi sa camera eh to take pictures of people, mga okasyon.  i need something handy at madaling hugutin sa lalagyan.  kung dslr dala ko pagkalaki laking bag sigurado kailangan ko.  at imagine kung gaano kalaki yung external flash ko, mas malaki pa sa p&s ko.  i am using a metz flash, mas murang version ng nissin or nikon flash.  pero pwede rin naman itong metz na bali baliin para may anggulo yung flash.  wala nga lang slave function though.  but still decent enough to take clear, maliwanag pictures.  neway, mas maraming kuha yung lx3 ko kesa sa d60 ko.  sobrang hassle kasi magdala ng dslr.  mas malaki pa sa handbag ko yung lalagyan ng dslr  :(

same with canon g10 and g11.  kung may available pang g10 eh yun ang bibilhin ko kesa sa g11.  definitely mas mura yung lumang model but would still be taking great pictures.  konti lang nabago dun sa bagong model  ang worry mo nga lang sa lumang model eh spare parts kung sakaling masira.  but then tingin mo ba tatagal ng sampung taon yang camera mo?  i bet after 5 years iba na uli camera mo kesehodang sira sya o hindi.

^ bravo selyado!

OT: wala naman masyado difference yung lx5 an lx3. major difference siguro is yung hd recording, tapos wider daw yung lens. tapos yung joystick, napalitan ng dial and yung iba pang mga minor changes like yung mga positioning ng mga buttons. tapos, 22K lang yung LX5 na bili ng friend ko sa kimstore. hehe

and kung tatanungin nyo ako, higly recommended ko din ang LX3. :)
