Why? I've owned a SLR (not DSLR) before and loved that (until it was stolen by some of the extremely kind people of Boston), but outside of the lens selection what constitutes the humongous difference? The a520 has aperature priority and shutter speed priority, manual focus, optional lenses and filters, etc. I just can't justify spending twice as much money on a camera that only offers better zoom capabilities. I understand that the higher end DSLRs have more megapixels, manual settings, etc., but those are all over $1K street price. I'm not doing any professional photography (unfortunately) so I really don't see the point in spending the extra money. It's been far too long since I've devoted any serious effort into photography so I'd much rather start with something simple and hone my craft with that. Buying a professional DSLR now would be like giving an Enzo to someone who just got their license.
