Default What Camera to buy??

Hello,

I've been wanting a a good digital camera thats not expensive with interchangeable lense that can have filters on that and so forth..

I currently have a canon a530 and im not brand picky.

What would you guys recommend.

what i will be using it for would be taking pictures of the new car .. hooking it up to a telescope(maybe)

night shots... snow shots.. moving shots..

Thanks in advance guys.

^so you finally decided , took you 4 pages
but it's true, it's an longtime investment (lenses) and a wise decision is needed.

Australia Dollars Euro
1 AUD = 0.594874 EUR 1 EUR = 1.68103 AUD

and the Pound is

1.00 AUD

=

Why not take a entry camera like the Nikon D50 (I have) or the 350D??

Spend more money on the lens then the body!
