Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
That describes my Canon s60 (two generations old) except that it doesn't have a 3-inch LCD. As long as we're digressing into film vs digital I have this to add. A P&S will never match an SLR, but there is one thing many digital pocket-sized P&Ss can do that most comparable film P&S cameras cannot do: set the aperture and… -
Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
I think one of the biggest things that sets a lot of P&S cams and DSLR cams is the fact that a DSLR has an OPTICAL zoom where as most of the OLDER P&S cams had a digital zoom that just didnt leave you ANY Flexibility when it comes to editing your closer photos. Now a days they do make some pretty excelent P&S cameras that… -
Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
I have both a Canon P&S and dSLR. In daylight, using moderate to wide angle, if I take photos with both cameras it's actually not obvious which camera took the photos unless you look closely. The P&S produces nice, sharp photos when there's enough light. However, the dSLR starts to distinguish itself from the P&S as… -
Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
I have a pocketcamera (Sony DSC-W12) ban advanced P&S (the Sony DSC-F828) and a DSLR (the Olympus E-1). The pocketable camera is nice, since it's the camera I have with me "just in case". The image quality is sometimes a bit of a gamble, since you don't have much control over it. Usually you tend to shoot images with it,… -
Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
The difference between DSLRS and MOST ( but maybe not all, any longer - the Sony R1 for example or the Epson RD-1 ) Point and Shoots is the the DSLRs image sensors are larger and have larger pixel wells than the sensors in the P&Ss. This results in two very significant differences. First, larger sensors create the ability… -
Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
While it's often mentioned that P&S cameras don't have removeable lenses, I once thought to myself "couldn't they turn this into a good thing, in terms of sturdiness and dust-resistance?" Well, I realized just how out-of-luck I was when my P&S of 1 year began to get dust inside the front elements, just like I suppose all… -
Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
Ed, in my opinion this is not true. DSLR's will always have the advantage of speed and versatility. Autofocus speed and apeture speed are two areas where I do not think P&S cameras will ever match DSLR's. Even in the latest of models, an ultrasonic or silent wave motor lens could out-perform, not to mention the superior AF… -

Re: point & shoot vs dSLR
I'd like to stick my nose in this thread just long enough to say that I GREATLY APPRECIATE the explanations that have been given thus far. I'm mostly a lurker here...trying to decide what camera to upgrade to. I have a simple P&S (Sony DSC-P9), and I just don't get the tradeoffs for going to the DAMN FRUSTRATINGLY higher…
