I have the S5500 at work and thats a great camera, so thought the S5600 would be next step up.

I do like the kodak tho, not got a good zoon but manual focus ring and other features would be good.

Car shows etc u dnt really need the zoom, hence why I was thinking I could get a differenet camera

Don't buy a 300D if you want a p&s.
A dslr is a totally different type of camera and you won't get the best out of it unless you are willing to spend time learning how to use the camera for a start and then how to post process images.

its to learn with and if I keep using it, then it will be worth spending out on a better one, but might just be phase and i'll never use it
