i was in an early spring cleaning mood, so i started messing around with my gallery- editing, deleting etc. etc. removed nearly 40 deviations. crazy stuff, i tell you.

anyway, i was thinking of a few things. i won't bore you with the irrelevent, so i'll be snappy: i'm thinking of getting a second hand camera (no money, no money).

since we already have the cute, colorful, little digital cameras and i'm thinking of expanding my photographic abilities (i might even splurge and get photoshop--SHOCKER!)-- i want an SLR-like digital camera and was wondering if you have any recommendations/tips/knowledge.

even for an amateur i know little about cameras-- it's beyond sad, beyond pathetic. anyway, i was reading some stuff online but after a few dozen reviews my eyes started to sting and i'm still not sure what i'm looking for.

i was thinking something along the lines of a FujiFilm FinePix S6500fd.
nothing toooooo complex, but that can handle some bad lighting or movement without completely ruining a photo.

so, people: any advice??
