<p>Thanks for the advice. I am defiantly ready to invest the time, effort, and cash into learning about and how to use whatever it is I decide to get. I just imagine that in the long run learning how to use a more advanced and versatile setup will make shots a little less difficult in the future, that is at least my equipment preforms as it is supposed to.</p>

So if I am willing to spend extra on

lenses will the overall quality of my

pictures be better in the long run? I'm

just worried about shooting super

macro and moving objects and getting

blur. Also if image stabilization is not

included in the base will quality suffer

noticeably and will lenses be more

expensive?

<p>I have been shooting photography for a while now but still consider myself a beginner. I am Looking to buy a new camera and have a few in mind but am really not sure which would fit my style the best. I would like a camera with decent zoom, super macro, and high shutter speed. So far I have looked at the Fujifilm Finepix HS50EXR and the Sony a65 DSLR. They are pretty comparable but I am leaning toward the Fujifilm. I have also looked at the Cannon T3i and Nikon D5100. Am I better off getting an SLR camera or multi lens for macro and high speed shooting? I would like to stay in that $500 price range for the body and am willing to pay out another $200 for lenses. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks</p>
