For quite sometime I've been longing for a DSLR, but dare not to buy, because I was unsure of what would be a right choice for a beginner like me. When I asked friends, both professional and enthusiasts, I was getting mixed opinion. Some said, just go for camera alone and don't go for models that come with video option. Though, not fond of shooting movies, I do occasionally like to take videos, so I decided to ignore this piece of advice.
I liked Nikon - D5000/D3100 & Canon 550D. Finally, I settled for Canon 550D, mainly because we came to know that Nikon had stopped producing D5000, and D3100 was out of stock, both in KL and Melaka. Also, I wanted time to practice on the DSLR before our trip to the Borneo.
The only problem with the DSLR, is that I just can't stuff it in my pant pocket or handbag, like my compact...for everything there is a trade off! Still, this is worth carrying...here are the initial shots...
Dawn, on my birthday...
Dusk...though the picture is grainy, I love it because of the rolling clouds!

I'm in the boat you were in before you bought your new camera. I want one, but am afraid to take the leap, and yeah, stuffing it in the pocket is convienent.
You photos are awesome, especially the rolling clouds.
