But having a DSLR with interchangable lenses would be very nice.

But alas, digital SLR's are still exorbitantly expensive. You might want to look something like the Canon PowerShot Pro 1 or the Nikon CoolPix 8800 instead for now.

Not really... The higher end EVF cameras will run upwards of $700, while the Nikon D70 runs $900, after rebate. Granted, the lens will add about another $300, bringing it up to $1200, which is why I'm waiting. Once I decide to "make the plunge," I plan on doing it right, and an EVF isn't what I'm looking for.

Digital SLR's hopefully will come down in price soon...I'm waiting too after yrs with my Canon Dynax 3Xi, I don't want to shelf about $3000 dollars with of lenses.
The Canon EAOS digital Rebel uses the same lenses as my Dynax, but it's $900 dollars right now. I need it to drop to about $600, or the same price as some analog camera bodies, before I can justify the purchase *L*.
