SLR vs regular digital?

[Denise Racine]

calling all camera experts...Please help me decide what to do!

Yesterday I bought Canon's new XT Rebel SLR and a 75-300 zoom. It works great and is very easy to use. The only problem is that I am second guessing my choice.

This camera is mainly to take pictures of my finished paintings and pictures of reference material in my studio and while travelling. That's where I begin to doubt... Do I really want to be carrying this big thing around while I travel or should I just get a pocket sized, good quality, high resolution digital? Maybe I should have both?

Please let me know what you think...I have 14 days to return the Canon Rebel...
