I posted a request for assistance a few days ago, and have been so pleased with the helpful replies, so I thought I should formally introduce myself!

I'm an Administrative Assistant for our town's Fire Chief, and have worked in the Fire Dept. for almost eight years. I've lived in the same small town (in southwest Georgia) almost all of my life. I'm single (after over 20 years of marriage) and currently my family consists of two spoiled kittens. I've been an amateur photographer for most of my adult life. My motto is that if you take enough pictures, you are bound to get a few good ones! I'm not really creative, but I enjoy photography and think I'm ready to progress from an upper level point & shoot to a good DSLR. My other main interests are reading (especially sci-fi), watching movies, traveling, and making jewelry. I also love animals, and have had almost every kind of pet at one time or another.

Thank you all so much for you input. You have really given me a lot of good advice and info to think over. I've tried to check out all the links, which have really helped, too.

I live in a small town, so I'll have to take a day to go to a real camera shop (all we have is Walmart!) and try cameras hands-on.

I appreciate all the help and thanks for making me feel so welcome!

I've had my Canon SX50 for about six months (I upgraded from the SX40) and am considering purchasing my 1st DSLR. I love the SX40, but because of the slow focus, I miss too many shots. I probably will keep it as my "purse" camera, but I would like a better one to use on occasions I know I'll be taking lots of pictures.

I'm drawn to the Canon 70D, because of the features & reviews I've read. If I were to only be able to have two lenses, which would be the preferred two? And if I could afford a third, which should it be?

I shoot wildlife, flowers, indoor events (parties, restaurants, etc.), my kittens (their antics are HARD to catch!) and I love to travel, so lots of scenery.

I'd like to stay no more than $1,600 or so.

Any advice would be greatly welcome, and thanks, in advance! :-)
