Important points when choosing a new camera :
1. What does the system cost.
2. How much do you want to cary.
1. If money is no object buy both. Most Dslr owners have
a point and shoot to cary around.
2. If you have enough money for a Dslr (see 1) and do not
mind carying it around. (Or lugging the system around) the
DSLR is the way to go.
But remember a smal point and shoot is better than a DSLR
which is at home when you are not.
For most needs both a point and shoot and a DSLR will
produce good pictures. But is most cases a DSLR will be
at least as good or better than a point and shoot.
When fotograving it handles better, in difficult situations the
quality is better. And I must say working digital is a joy, and
working DSLR is a great joy.
But point and shoots can be better as well. They are more
discrete, make less noise, it's easier to cary around all the
time where you don't notice, but more important where the
others don't notice you are carying a camera.
Also a point and shoot has an advantage when taking macro's.
Because of the smaller sensor size you get more depth of field
than with a DSLR and with macro's this is often an advantage.
In most of the other cases I consider more depth of field a
disadvantage, but some people do disagree.
So for pictures (even good pictures) only a point and shoot will
often be enough.
For the fun of making pictures a DSLR is a great way to go.

Hi,
Please forgive this dual post but because of the nature of the question
I need to get
varied opinions again, please. I am quite stumped now having read two
exactly opposite
reviews for a high end P&S. That is confusing isn't it especially if
you don't know anything
about digital photography. I'm purely a film SLR person who nows wants
to go electronic.
So how exactly is a low end d-slr better than a high end p&s ?
I specifically only need to print out photos in 5x7 print sizes. Thats
all. Is the photo quality
of a high end P&S still worse than a low end D-SLR for that? If I were
to take a picture on auto mode using both types of cameras at the same
time or the same wide angle, Fstop and
shutter speed on both cameras and click ( you know what I mean ), then
what would be
the difference in a 5x7 print ?
I ask this because I'm really confused ( as you can make out :)
DSLR owners:- Why is a HE P&S like the Fujifilm S9000 not better than
even the
cheapest DSLR ? Look at its features! The only problems I see are lack
of IS and
more noise. - But thats only if you don't use a high shutter speed for
the former and need
prints bigger than 5x7, for the latter. Am I right?
P&S owners:- If you know about SLRs and/or have owned one then why go
for a
high end P&S ? Have they caught up by now? If you were to raise shutter
speeds for the
same ISO 100 would that not make up for lack of IS on an SLR?
I mean if I can get a HE P&S that has:-
an optical viewfinder, manual, shutter and aperture priority, a good
zoom with wide angle,
ability to take good pictures ( as per claims I've read ) in lowlight
etc etc then where can
I go wrong? If I just want to take max 5x7 digiprints ? :)
Thanks plenty.
