    dunno matt, nearly always you get the annoying digitalised look in the pics.
    eg, on your dusk pic, bottom left, reflection of clouds in water, you can see squiggly lines.
    this is the reason ill be looking to buy a dslr this year sometime.

    Learn to use your current camera to its full potential first jay.

    Dslr is a whole different kettle of fish - It wont make your photos better , unless you know the basics of photography first.

    Your current camera is capable of some pretty nice shots from what I've seen around the net.

    Play with settings - Set up bowls of fruit or random scenes inside and outside , shoot in different light situations - get used to what mode and what settings work for you depending on the condition - When your skills exceed that of which the camera is capable of , Then upgrade Click here to enlarge

    I think the squiggly lines you may be referring to are actually ripples in the water as it was lightly sprinkling when i took that pic. If you look closely you can see them all over the surface of the water.

    Check this site out:

    Great for beginners and can be a good refresher.

    Just go and play with your camera. If you're under pressure because of time and you can't afford to take a bad shot, use aperture or shutter priority which lets you adjust your shot for motion or DOF (depth of field) and let the camera take care of anything else to get it exposed correctly.

    When you have more time, flick over to manual and see what happens. You can great some great 'wrong' shots during this time of learning Click here to enlarge A mate was playing with my camera on manual and took a photo of my headphones on my desk. Completely over exposed, out of focus, camera shake, you name it, he did it. Was the most awesome abstract image!

    if ur buying your first DSLR, i'd recommend taking some classes with a quality photography school. This is what i did when i bought my first dslr and it was absolutely worth the money. I paid $350 for a 12 week course which is nothing when u compare that to what you outlay for your DSLR. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of what your camera functions are, what they do and how they work with one another so that u can get out and capture the photographs you're after.

    Its not rocket science and ur base model DSLR's are not that complicated to use.

    The fact is, as pauly and ren have pointed out earlier, there are no set rules, every photo opportunity more often then not require completely different settings. U need to learn the basics.

    Good luck!

    This is why there isn't one right answer. it all depends on what ur trying to portray in ur photograph. photography is all about being creative!
