Is it REALLY worth buying an SLR digital camera?I have a digital camera at the moment ( http://www.cameras.co.uk/reviews/fuji-finepix-s8000fd.cfm ), i've had it since christmas time. I've started to take photography much more seriously than I ever intended to, so i'm wondering is an SLR really worth buying or should I just stick with what I have?
I don't really use my camera for anything professional, just taking pictures of stuff and experimenting with angles, etc.

yes, the quality is much much better, and DSLRs are capable of things that point and shoots cant. Like exposer time and shutter speed. Which are some of the main effects for photography.

Once you start getting serious about photography, you might start to notice limitations in your camera. You could get frustrated that you can't do certain things you want to. That's when you know you need to move up to an slr. If you're happy with the results of your camera, then you're okay staying with it for now.
By the way, there's a common misconception that a better camera will automatically make your pictures better. It's not necessarily so. If you do move up to an slr, then take the time to learn every feature of it. Go through the manual page by page and try out everything you read in it. It's the learning process that will improve your photography.
Meanwhile, study the works of famous photographers and see how they made images. Take classes, read books and magazines, and just keep taking pictures.
