I don't care if it has manual settings, 12MP with that small of an image sensor is going to result in digital noise. And the included lens has a few flaws:
1. It's only 35mm at the wide end, which isn't too wide-angle
2. At the 210mm telephoto, the aperture is f/8.0 at best
3. No image stabilization
I'm still a beginner at photography, and I understand your concern about carrying it everywhere... But I love the image quality on my new Rebel XSi, it blows away my old P&S. And if you check out Tamrac.com they have some good messenger bags and backpacks that serve as dual purpose camera-bags and overall carrybags.

It actually does have a IS integrated into the lens.. but I do agree, I fear that I'll be disapointed because it might not be able to live up to the standards of my old Xti.....
