Sad reality is that itu can't afford to buy lenses.. Then u shouldn't get too serious in photography.. Lenses are expensive.. Especially the good ones.. And they all have their own purpose. M4/3 and nex will surely beat compact la.. Since they have a larger sensor.. Perhaps u should try buying those semi manual one first.. Play around till ur expert and save up till u know which good dslr or micro 4/3 to get and how it will suit ur purpose and photography technic
