If you're asking, you probably don't need one right now. If you're going to use it the way you would a point-and-shoot camera a DLSR won't give you better results and might be a little worse because point-and-shoot digital cameras usually bend over backwards to salvage any shot you take. If you want to play with more interesting techniques, then a DLSR will offer you more flexibility to do that. Wait until you know of pictures you want to take which you can't take with your current camera.
