With an Ultrazoom it is the end of the road in terms of expansion capabilites. With a DSLR, you can do as little or as much as you want. There are many people here that will find out through experiance that they will buy an Ultrazoom and end up trading it in for a DSLR later. I was on the fence myselfwhen I was first looking at getting back into photographyafter many years of giving up the 35mm format. Luckily I was able to return my ultrazoom for a full refund. |

The thing about DSLR verses the Ultrazoom variety of P&S cameras is that the Ultrazooms in some cases are just as big and almost heavy as the more compact DSLRs. |

thank you all for your sincere input, definitely helpful. I remember the first time I was awed by the photo clarity of my dad's old slr Canon rebel, but today from what all you say it appears for day to day use PTS digital cameras have caught up. I think photography as a hobby is appealing, but need to dig up more information. Cheers!

There are some ways that a P&S can compare to a dslr, and in inexpirienced hands they can certainly create equal or better images... but in the end they do not compare at all. There are many things a P&S just plain cannot do.
I'm not much of a snapshooter, I dont document family roadtrips, I seek out more challenging conditions and techniques to keep myself interested and to produce different and interesting photos. I dont carry all my gear everywhere (because I cant!), but I fill my lowepro slingshot 200 with whatever I feel like using that day/trip and its usually quite heavy. Getting the most out of a DSLR does result in turning yourself into a pack mule, but its a flexible system and you can pare it back to the basics when you need to (body/one lens) and still get better image quality than a P&S. |
