I am interested in buying an dslr interchangeable lenses camera, but my only concern is which camera and brand is good for someone with no experience in photography. The purpose of the camera will be to take pictures of events, such as when I travel, participate in events or family gatherings. I am not a fan of the panasonic lumix gf-2, the camera was basically to slow and the settings were far beyond confusing. I want a good point and shoot dslr interchangeable lenses camera with easy to understand settings and affordability. I am not saying I want to go cheap but I am considering splurging on a camera that holds its moneys-worth.
I have looked into the Olympus EP-3 camera but I am not too sure, if $800 is worth the price since it has an equal amount of "Good" and "Bad" reviews

What feature of the DSLR do you want? Are you under the illusion that having interchangeable lenses will magically ensure you take stunning photos time after time after time?
You say that you want a DSLR but then say you don't want "settings". People buy DSLR because it allows total control over the photo. That needs the user to take some time to learn how to use "settings" get the best out of it.
Get a point and shoot - your money is wasted on anything more sophisticated.
Any electronic equipment is a bad investment - todays expensive cutting edge digital camera will be so-so in 1 year and a worthless lump of plastic, glass and metal in 5 years. They don't hold their value!

Pros and Cons of Camera?
Claire
I am in love with this camera!
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47K 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 24xOptical Zoom - Black
Can you tell me pros and cons about this camera?!
Also, what kind of battery does it use, and what is its normal shutter speed?
Any other necessary information you might think can help an amateur like me will be AWESOME!
Answer
It is a "bridge" camera". It looks like dSLR, but no interchangeable lens system, There are threads on the lens so add-on lenses are possible.
Still images should be good at 12.1 megapixels - assuming the person using the camera knows how to capture/frame still images. Video will be OK if no fast action or low light environment because of the high compression AVCHD format. If lighting is good, then video should be acceptable - but this can be said of pretty much any camera or camcorder. Built-in mics for audio, no manual audio gain control, audio input jack fr external audio input connection...
If everything is "auto" then "normal shutter speed" will depend on whether lighting is good or if the built-in flash is used. In daylight, if the aperture is opened manually, then shutter speed will increase. If you stop it down then the shutter speed will decrease. See page 78 in the manual

Aperture Priority.
What batteries it uses is on Page 10, item 1 of the basic manual
