I'm >< this close to buying my first DSLR if only I could figure out what I want and what a good price is. I'm not likely to go above the 'prosumer' level and I think Canon and Nikon glass are about equivalent in that range. I also like the feel of the Nikon bodies over the Canon bodies, which seem too large and bulky from my limited use of them.
I wish I took more photos. [...] I don't like being "that guy" who always caries an SLR around his neck and frequently stops to shoot things.
Yes. That, and that. Particularly since most of what I want to shoot is pictures of other people, it's doubly awkward. I'm often in situations of choosing between participating in the social situation and taking pictures of it.
