Still images.

I like experimenting with video, but I have a lot more to learn there,  
and can't afford the nicer cameras.

Still image cameras are coming down in price.

I'm very tempted by the Nikon D40 dSLR.  You can get them for around  
$500 with a boring but useful lens, and a 22-200mm lens is only $250.   
Pretty versatile.

My current main camera is a Panasonic/Leica FZ20, and it has a 12X  
zoom that does f2.8 all the way out.

If I get a dSLR I'll initially miss the 12x zoom, but in a year or so  
I could be able to get a big zoom by saving money.
