Hi all,
Basically, I'v always enjoyed taking photographs yet never really invested in a good camera. I've always used digital compacts, and although some of the pics have been good, I'm ready to invest in something with more functionality.
I'm going on a big vacation this year and would like the camera for use on that, as well as when I'm home.
I've been around the camera stores here, and I've got myself a little dilemma. I'm torn between two totally different kinds of camera, Micro 4/3's and an SLR.
The two I'm debating over are the:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3

and
Canon EOS 600D
http://www.jessops.com/online.store/...0182/show.html
Now I know these are two completely diffirent cameras. However, I'm drawn to the G3 based on it's size, the lower cost, how it felt to use/carry around.
On the other hand, the Canon 600D SLR is an SLR, an although larger it will allow me to do more with it and produce better images with practice. The 600D is much more expensive, but if it's as good as people say then I'd be willing to spend the extra cash.
I will be shooting urban shots, wildlife, cars, nature etc and want something that will allow me to create great images and potentially get some of them blown up on canvas etc.
Can someone with more experience and who isn't commission driven offer up their opinion please? I would be very grateful
Scott
