@rahasya, you are right,, cell phone camera sucks when it comes to do night photography, lol.. but out of 100 photos that I take , night ones are probably rare unless I intend to. just a theory. How many of us has gone out in the dark and start taking pictures? unless you are party animals ..  I agree cell phone sucks.. btw, have you checked , FZ28's night photography that I picked up as a cheap-a-ss model for this discussion ?

For first thing to buy a dslr ask yourself where you want to be with it? Do you want to be a pro photographer? Or do you want to start learning and get more skilled? If you want to learn the skills then go with the cameras behoove and 28th suggested, you will learn almost same as the advanced one from them. Then probably if you feel like immersing yourself more into photography go for advanced ones. Most of people I have seen play with camera for a year or two and just forget their camera in cupboard, so be aware of that. Also yeah, as people earlier suggested invest in lens. Lens dont become outdated. I always prefer prime lens over zoom ones. So if you buy camera just buy a camera body and buy a prime lens. I would suggest 35 mm one to go with them. You will learn much more about composing and photography with a prime than a zoom. Zoom just make you lazy, prime makes you move and make that extra effort. But then again it is just my suggestion, and as somebody said to me long time ago, ' suggestion are like assholes, everybody has one.' So just go through everyone's say and go with your wit, good luck! And of course enjoy making an image.
