You'll have to forgive me, I have been in a bit of a creative slump lately. I have no desire to go out and take pictures, I can't find anything that inspires me, and I think I may have reached the limits with my current camera. The ISO is limited (400) the manual settings are difficult to set, the focus is slow.
I would love to invest in a dSLR, but why? I make no money doing photography and the investment would be about five grand to get what I need to replace what I have in 35mm. I could keep shooting 35mm but the lens I have are old and crappy. I could replace them but my choices are limited because the camera body I am working with is over 20 years old. Minolta doesn't make the type of lens mount I need and only one company still manufactures them. I could order one but is it going to ne the same piece of crap I have now?

Sorry but I completely disagree with you.
If you love fotography and taking pictures you can´t think of it as an "investment". If it gives you pleasure why think in terms of "payback period"? What use can we give to our money if not those little things that we really take pleasure in doing, be it a camera, a boat or a trompet?
