 Numpties DSLR - smokie
I did a bit of a special trip a few years ago round various blues haunts in Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi etc. I had an SLR with me and while the scenery shots were probably better than a happy snaps camera it was useless to lug around in the venues I was seeing the bands. I didn't go on the trip for the scenery though, they were taken really only so that I'd have some pics which would be of some limited interest to anyone who I showed my snaps to. So think about what you really want and whether an expensive and cumbersome SLR is really what you need.

btw I ditched the SLR and bought a half decent bridge camera since that trip. I still think I should have spent the money on a really decent pocket size camera, as the camera is still cumbersome and a decent pocket camera would take good enough pics for the memories (just maybe at some cost to the picture quality, which most people wouldn't notice). The phone camera takes perfectly adequate shots in most situations.
