Sorry if this is something that has already been discussed further back in this thread, but I'll post anyway as a newcomer.
I'm looking for a reasonable digital camera without going too overboard on cost.I want something that can pretty much be fully automatic, but with a reasonable lens that will take decent pictures. If it can do long exposures then that would be nice, but not essential. (I can remember my dad teaching me motorway shots with his old pentax on a tripod in the night, and loved the effect it produced).
So as a relatively newbie to photography, what am I looking at? My last digital camera purchase was a good few years ago... a Fujifilm Finepix AV110. 12 mega pixels supposedly but I was never that impressed with the outcome. Should I go for an SLR digital, or would I need to manually focus etc. for every shot? Basically I want a reasonable camera, as automatic as I need it to be for general photography. I've got pi***d off with mobile phone cameras that never seem to achieve the results you want even for the most basic of photography needs.
It might be worth starting a new thread along these lines - http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/digital-camera-recommendations.11847/ - things are changing all the time...Sorry if this is something that has already been discussed further back in this thread, but I'll post anyway as a newcomer.

It shows the different star colours well. Surprised there is not more light pollution showing, you must have a fairly dark sky.

yes, good enough and cheap enough for dslr. think there's £10 voucher for spends over £100 too. do you know anyone working at argos? they get a % off too. sadly my contact finished there.THIS seems an unbelieveable bargain with 2 lenses. Any reasons not to go with it as a begginer to DSLR's? Also thanks for the advice about the Lumix TZ ones too. Not sure when or with what I'll proceed, but all I know is that I want something to take decent pictures with at some point in the next 12 months.

..and what you point it at..It's all about the glass

You must be the first person on this planet who has ever thought that about Mr Marwood.JM speaks sense.
