[quote name='JolietJake']Unless you take a lot of photos, that camera would be a waste of money. Even if you do take a lot of photos, you'd probably be better off getting a cheaper camera and nice lens. A lot of the pseudo SLR type cameras are pretty nice these days too.[/QUOTE]
There are some nice wide-angle + super-zooms. However, nothing replaces a DSLR for flexibility once you really start experimenting with various exposures, DOF . . .etc. Although photoshop is opening up lots of post editing stuff that can replicate that.
