Don't even think about it.
A DSLR is a total PITA

1 You never stop worrying about it.
2 Expensive
3 Very hard to use
4 less DOF than a compact
5 Must shoot in manual
6 Too heavy on the plane
I could go on for ever

It's not a realisitic prospect for me anyhow, everytime i nearly save up enough money I'll just blow it on another holiday.

But one day all the 5050s in the world will have gone and i'll need something else.

I am thinking about getting a strobe though.

you'll be pleased to know that I will be doing my solo course in the next few weeks
