Hi,

I'm in the market for a new camera. I am nowhere near an expert in photography, but want a good, solid camera that I will mainly use to shoot pictures of my 2 year old.

I have a Canon Powershot point and shoot camera which I really like, but I miss a lot of action shots and shots that are far away.

I am mainly looking for a camera that I can shoot continious shots/rapid fire shooting and that has good zoom capability.

I'm on the fence as to whether I should get a more advanced point and shoot or go up to a SLR. Mainly looking at Nikons or Canons.

Thanks for your help!
