Vickybat,may be i m not the right person to tell u this as i m myself a noob when it comes to photography.But after lots of reading and researching ,my opinion would be if you are a noob then you should get an entry level P&S camera like canon A1200 with minimum manual controls.And after you get used to more basic and important things like light condition,composition,shutter speed etc...you can go for more more expensive camera like DSLRs.Becoz one thing is for sure ,more expensive camera wont give you better pictures.May be other experienced members here will be able to guide you better.
