I have been out of photography for a few years and picked up a Coolpix 5000 two week before xmas. Got it and thought this is great. I like the results but don't like the feel of the camera.
A couple of weeks later I picked up a F80s outfit and now the Coolpix is up for sale.
No, I am not giving up on Digital but will be sticking with 35mm till I can afford a D-SLR. (a Nikon D100 body is around AUD$4300, Canon D60 even more here in Australia)
I have never been that keen of compact style cameras. So if I want digital it will have to be a D-SLR (which hopefully will be around the the middle of the year)
When I owned my last 35mm outfit (F4s and FE2) I had a Nikon compact 35mm as well and it never used it, I prefered to carry an F4s with me were ever I went.
So the CP5000 is now up forsale while I can still get a good price for it and put the money towards a D-SLR
But even when I get the D-SLR I will still shoot a lot of stuff on slide.
So give me an SLR (hopefully soon D-SLR) any day.

Actually, compact digital cameras have their places, even for the DSLR/SLR user. Especially those with swivel LCD or lens like the Coolpix 9xx, 5000, Canon G series, etc. They let you shoot easily from weird angles unattainable with normal SLRs without contorting your body.
