I have no idea why so many people try to discourage newbies from buying high end cameras, if that's what they want. It's like telling someone not to buy a Corvette because all they ever drove previously was a pickup truck. If you have an interest in learning how to use a camera, any camera, then there is no reason not to try. There are endless resources available, many free, to provide you with the info and techniques necessary. The only people I would try to discourage are the ones who can't afford to buy high end gear, and nobody on here knows who those people are. If you have the interest and can afford it, then buy what you want. You will probably save money by not going through several lesser cameras before you get to the one you want. You have already learned that, so you are one step up. Enjoy your camera!
