I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask for help.
Currently I am using the most awful point-and-shoot camera which produces horribly blurry and noisy photographs and does not even give me the option to take uncompressed pics. As much as I am enjoying going out and taking a bunch of photos in new places; I feel like I could quadruple my enjoyment if the end product wasn't painful to look at due to the horrible picture quality.
So I need your help to choose a brand spankin' new camera for me to use. I am open to any suggestions; however I am preferably looking for a DSLR which is friendly for beginners, yet also has functions and modes which even pro's would be happy with, so in other words I am looking for a camera which is beginner friendly, not "too" pricey, but is also relatively future proof so I won't need to upgrade any time soon.

I was a "Nikon" guy for years, but feel like they fell behind the digital curve about ten years ago and made the switch to LUMIX with a LX3 and haven't looked back. They have all size cameras and produce, imho, the most lifelike and vivid images today with their Leica optics. Obviously, when you interchange lenses, the optics may be different, but I strongly believe in the Panasonic "worldview" of how a camera should operate, level of creative control and ease of use. I shoot a LX7 today, pondering a move to LX100
