You (and Gerald and Geert) have pretty much laid out the pros and cons here. It all comes down to personal use. The A95 is a pretty good camera, and if you want to continue to enjoy the portability and ease of use, without breaking the bank, then I would say stick with it. If you are going to be trying to sell your photo and take the more "pro" route, then a SLR would probably be the road to take. For me, my C-8080 provides the best of both worlds. Very portable, high resolution, versitile built-in lense, and fairly good quality. I would like to get an SLR in the future, but for now, the C-8080, even with it's limitations, fits my needs pretty well. It all comes down to you.
