I presume you might own a Fujifilm FinePix AX250 which has 14MP and 5x Optical zoom.
The thing to understand is that skillful use of a camera does not always mean that putting a more expensive camera into your hands WILL improve the quality of your photos!
About a decade ago, someone with a Point and Shoot complained on POTN that he went to a photography club locally and all the pictures he saw there were of higher quality than his photos, so he was inquiring about buying a dSLR. I commented to him that I could show him about a dozen photos, some taken with dSLR and some taken with a Point and Shoot, and he would NOT be able to identify which camera took which photos. He tried, and could not!
My point is that the camera itself does not make good photos, the camera ENABLES the photographer to take good photos in a wider range of circumstances.
It is like playing violin...putting a Stradavarious in the average 10 year old's hands will NOT improve the music that is made, better music resulting than a cheap practice violin. You have to know HOW to play the violin well in order to get beautiful music from the Stradavarius. You have to know HOW to photograph well, in order to get a wider range of good shots with a dSLR than you can with a point and shoot in your hands.
If I put a $20 sable brush in your hands, will the quality of your oil paintings improve tremendously, compared to you using a $5 brush?
You can find some very capable dSLR on the used market for less than $350, which were $1500-$2500 when new. Unknowing folks look on them with disdain now, compared to the newest 25Mpixel cameras with the latest technology. But the $350 stuff produced PROFESSION QUALITY results in the right hands 10 years ago, and they can still produce PROFESSION QUALITY results in the right hands NOW!
You could learn to use the camera that you have better, before spending >$1000 on the newest dSLR.
You could learn to better use what you have now, then buy a used camera for $350 which allows you to get photos in a wider variety of circumstances, and then IF YOU continue to feel impeded by what you own (the 10MPixel 10 year old dSLR) , THEN buy the $1500 new dSLR.
