should do some read out first
I started with compacts too, the tiny Minolta. Somehow it still manage to capture nice pictures but of course, there will be lesser control by the photographer but still its a good way to learn about framing and all. Those lessons are invaluable.
I only switched to DSLR a couple of weeks back and am still struggling with settings

I do not mind sharing some tips with ya, i.e. if I am qualified in the first place
