photography people here's some Qs
Buying a DSLR at this point is like me buying a guitar with 1 year prepaid lessons.
It's great if I put it to use, but will I? I'll find out in a few weeks/months.

Photography is a hobby I enjoy to relieve stress from the 9-5 M-F grind and a way to make additional $$$ on the weekends.
If any of you guys are ever up in the Lancaster, PA area (1 hour west of Philly) and want to mess around with a DSLR, shoot me a PM. I've got a third body (350D) that I don't use since it's a back up to my other 2 bodies. If anyone wants to get into the DSLR and need help with camera stuff, I'm more than happy to help anyone; I can talk camera stuff all day long.
jeffie, here are a few shots to push you towards a DSLR =)

Here is a gallery of pics from the old, slow, 4MP Canon G2. Proof that the camera is only a tool.

You won't get poster size prints out of most P&S cameras due to limitations of the relatively small lenses, but you can certainly get beautiful pics that will more than fill your screen. It does help to have the Canon colors, though.

Colors will be more vibrant, images should be sharper (depending on the lens), yada yada yada.
SLR should give a little better dynamic range, quicker focus, more control of DOF, choise of lenses, etc. Images are typically NOT sharper, though. But that only means the SLRs typically do less processing in camera. This also means more post-processing, which may or may not be desirable to some.
To each his own, but I don't think anyone who is not a serious hobbyist or pro needs a digital SLR. The high-end P&S cameras have very good lenses and full manual control. There is plenty of quality and versatility to allow your creative juices to flow.
