Nice coverage... dollar for dollar + versatility... save up for a DSLR body and just buy an affordable versatile lense. I know someone that started her own photography business just using the 70.00 50mm prime lense and the pics always turn out great.

You will find that DSLRs: hold their value [lenses, too], are quicker [as you mentioned, wanting to take continuous shots], take photos in a format, where editing possibilities are endless... Did I mention? --save up for a DSLR.

good luck and keep postin' up your pics.
