Thanks guys for all your advice. The reason I wanted a DSLR was becuase of a few things:
1) I wanted to get shots of some butterflies that I could not get close to for various reasons like Purple Hairstreaks and there is a place where I find Orange-Tips and its very boggy in areas and hard to get close to them, so a long lens would help.
I know an area that as many Holly Blues and they are real hard to get even near to with a compact, but I have tried my best.
2) I wanted to start taking pics of Dragonfly/damselflys too.
3) There is a lot of birds around my area like Kestrals, Sparrowhawks, buzzards etc... and wanted good shots of them from varous positions and a compact is limited with that.
One of the hardest things I found to get a shot of when I first saw one, was a DG Fratillary. Where I found them it was overgrown a bit and when one landed on a thistle, the best shot I could get was this:
f/4.5
exposure: 1/2000sec
ISO-400
Multi-spot
I had to zoom in pritty far to get this, and with my compact, I noticed that, the farther you zoom in, the slightly more blurred it gets on macro mode. Also, this one never settled for too long so it was hard to get any decient pic.
I know also, that some compacts can get just as good results as some DSLRs, but for me, its limitations on how far you can zoom in to things and what I want shots off. Anyway, I will keep all your advice in mind, and no I won't be getting a bridge camera.
