This would be an ideal lenses for what I see you do most of the time. You could get wide angle shots and some zoom too. Definitely a must have lenses size for a crop sensor. But your going to have to start doing some reading on how to use a dslr. You can hone things manually and get way cooler shots that you would have before with your point and click. You'll like it once you figure out what is going on. Be patient, it will take a while for the initial learning curve. YOu can check out thephotographyforum.com. lots of good stuff to study with there.
Nice to see you again, joe.
