I already have a small compact digital camera that ive had for a few
years. I also have an F65 film camera. I am considering an upgrade and
cant decide between a D50 slr and one of the high spec nikon copact
zooms. Probably the only real difference is that you dont have
interchangeable lenses on the compact. From what ive read,they are
very good technically and i am slightly put off by the size of the
SLR's. Comments anyone??

The largest diff. between compact and dslr, besides interchangeable
lenses, is the the much better s/n ratio (less noise) in the dslr (due
to the larger sensor).
If you are prepared to carry the bulk of a dslr (which isn´t really much
worse than taht of the larger "compacts", there is no doubt in my mind.

As to a compact Nikon: To my knowledge they only make compacts without
manual possibilities - understand that those who can.
