Photography Question

Fujifilm S5200 as a Budding Photographer's Camera


I am a beginner/amateur photographer who isn't completely familiar with all types of photographic technique, but I want to grow in the digital photography world, ultimately to become a professional photographer, most likely in the areas of nature/wildlife and landscape. For more information, check out this discussion: http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/qnaDetail.php?threadID=20269 . My question is this: Since I don’t think I’m ready to spend $1000+ on a digital SLR and equipment, would the Fujifilm S5200, along with a tripod, telephoto and wide-angle lenses, lens filters (and possibly other accessories), and full range of manual controls, be enough for me to continue learning, attend photography courses, and begin selling my work, at least for the short term? Or would I really need an SLR to progress in my photography skills and “career”?

  Also, would this particular camera (with an attached wide-angle lens) produce good night and landscape shots?
