So whats the deal anyways? Pics of environment, random crap, what?
I'd have to agree that a dSLR wouldn't be ideal for you. Perhaps a point and shoot would be better.
The reason I have my dSLR is because I love photography and really enjoy getting out and taking photos when I can. I love landscape photography and if I could get paid enough money to do that all the time then I'd just travel the US doing that. Not that easy to make money with landscapes though.
I also do weddings on the side of my normal job to make an extra buck.
The whole idea of having a dSLR isn't to get one, set it to the automatic mode and snap away.
I agree that the zoom control on an SLR is far better than a point and shoot, but if you aren't going to actually use the manual focus and things like that - it's really a waste of money.
