Note:
An used reflex entry-level with a 50 mm (especially in USA) is a cheap investment.
However, safe special needs, isn't the camera that make the photograph, so shoot with your compact camera without problems and when it's possible you could go on a reflex.

I currently have a Pentax Program Plus w/ a Pentax 50mm f/1.7 as well as a Minolta X-370 w/ a Minolta 50mm f/1.7 and a Kiron 80-200mm f/4.5 MACRO
The 50mm lense on the Minolta is too soft but I use the Pentax and the Minolta with the 80-200mm quite often when I go for walks.
There's a shot in my Portfolio that was shot on the Pentax using an old Sunpak Auto 266D and a home made flash diffuser. I'll be using it more as it's one of the cameras I always have with me and I generally like it's results.
Thanks for the welcome everyone, I hope to get a great deal of wisdom and experience from you all. There seems to be a great community here.
