	Since you already have Photoshop retouching skill so you are about 1/2 to
the goal of enjoying the beauty of DSLR.  And I would suggest to go for
DSLR
instead of P&S (for one with less retouching and post processing skill
then
P&S may suite them better) to enjoy a much higher level of photography.

- Most DSLRs are fine, but Canon is very good with high ISO and it has a
good lens system with reasonable price.  If you wanna go for Nikon then
don't settle for anything less than the newer D300 (Nikon has a newer
model
but I haven't read to know much about it) which is about equal to Canon
40D

- And my only suggestion is DO NOT waste money on cheapie lens.  And you
should be able to capture very sharp image with top_of_the_line_lens.

	I don't wor****p and brandname or I have Canon, Sigma, Tamron after few
months reading as much feedbacks as I can.
