    Camera Buying help

    im after a new camera,
    in the 400 to 700 sort of range,
    i love the go-anyware-ness of point and shoot,
    but love the quality of D-SLR,
    also not a huge fan of fiddling with settings,
    but again love the results that come with it.
    id also love one with 60sec + shutter capability,
    most of the cannons look like they only go to 15sec,

    anyway,
    any ideas on what i should look into gettin.
    thanks guys

    Thankyou Paul Click here to enlarge
    After a quick google it looks like most reviews state this one to be the pick of the bunch. Would I still be able to change lenses on this one?

    Nope
    All these are fixed
    These are the last ones before moving up to DSLR's where you can change lenses
