you should consider even getting some cheap budget used gear if you want to get more into it Nick. that way the outlay will be minimal and you can sell it on again for no loss if you decide its not for you.
FWIW, Talk Photography has quite a busy sales section on there forum, but you do need to have a certain amount of posts to get access. Getting a cheap DSLR, or even a bridge camera which gives you more control, will help you better understand the shenanigans going on inside the camera (that last picture I posted wouldnt be possible with a compact, as I had to set the shutter open for around 6-8 seconds in order to get enough light in - something beyond the scope of most compacts)
