So, hubby comes home from work today and says "are you going to replace the SLR when we're in Australia?". "No, I'm going to learn to love it" I reply. "Oh, I thought I could have it for work" he says.

This means that I potentially get to buy a new camera when we are in Australia next week! Not nearly enough time to research...but i'm not complaining!

The question is...DSLR or Compact Pro? And which one? Or should I hold off until later in the year (I head back to Australia every few months).

I'm thinking sub $2000. Please bear in mind that I am a shortass so have girly, little hands!
