The Lumix was the last one i had before i upgraded to SLR and it was a great camera.
Actually - still is - a gave it to my niece who was doing photography at school and she is getting better results than i do with my 5k worth of gear.

I'd go to the local library and flip through photography mags if i were you - every second one has a 'buyers guide' these days.

I haven't read everyone's responses ... but I've got the 350d, and it's pretty cool. If I bought again, I'd have got the same camera, but with the 17-85 ... it's a much nicer lens, though the 18-55 isn't that bad.

For $140 you can get a really nice portraiture lens, a 50mm f/1.8. That's a SWEET lens, for the price.

This site www.dslrusers.com is an aussie photography forum, that can offer you heaps of help and tips etc. Primarily Nikon users there, but a lot are switching to Canon.

to give you some idea of what a 75 - 300mm will do on an EOS 350D, I took this shot at the Bulldogs game, from the front row of the ET stand.

I'm very happy with my camera.

Obviously, I have resized the pic so it will load this century.

The other photo.

But that one was also taken with the 75 - 300, very good for timid wildlife - Echidnas are funny, they flinch at the sound of the shutter with single photos, but use "motor drive" and the little media tarts just ignore it and get on with their day.
