I'm ready to do the upgrade to a more complex camera. I've been using a Olympus Stylus 500 in a PT housing (with good success) but I am now frustrated with not being able to have more control over my shots.
I am trying to make the decision about whether to go very high end PnS or go straight to dSLR. I've read numerous threads and understand the pros and cons of both. PnS - greater flexibility (able to do macro and wideangle in the same dive), less cost, less camera baggage... dSLR - minimal shutter lag, greater control over shots, better image quality...
I know my learning curve will be greater with the dSLR, but will it be a better investment in the long run? ugh, I'm giving myself a headache over this... :icoeek:
If you went to dSLR, what was the decision-maker for you?
Thanks for your input!
