Gr8 work. Its a very good article. I have purchased a Nikon D3100 and I am new to DSLRs. After days of googling finally I got this website as a nice tutorial. Start today with your tutorial, but I the quality and simplicity of our contents forced me to put some appreciation words after reading just two articles. You will be seeing more from me on different articles. :-)

Very very very well-written article.
I’ve been researching for days, and this simplified much of what I’ve been reading.

That was the most thoughtful and helpful article I’ve found on the subject — thank you. I have a new point and shoot and was so disappointed with the poor quality. I’m making the leap to a DSLR. A little over my budget, but I’ve wanted a good quality camera since jr high. At 45 it’s time to splurge.

“Quality. Due to the smaller size of the camera sensor, point and shoots are no match to DSLRs when it comes to image quality, EVEN WITH more Megapixels.”
Please replace EVEN WITH with BECAUSE OF. Due to the small size of the sensor, more pixels means more density which means smaller pixels. And smaller pixels = bad quality and massively more noise.
So my advice is: If you are going for P&S, avoid those sensors with more Megapixels – this often means less quality photos. Detail of high-resolution photos is pointless if we can’t use it and believe me in low-light conditions there will be a lot noise. Why would you wanna crop your photos with P&S anyway? So avoid small sensors with more than 10MP!

Good article, written in simple language. Though initially I was planning to buy an entry level DSLR like th Nikon D3100 or Canon 1100 D, for the time being I am going to go for a top end point and shoot instead. Probably Canon SX230HS. Saw the pictures in the net and they look like DSLR ones. Further it has the full HD mode video plus GPS. Initially i thought GPS was a waste, but then it is quite useful if you travel to unknown places – and I plan to be a bit adventurous in future. A DSLR with all these would be around a 1000 dollars whereas the sx230 is just about 300 and pocketable, though with 14x opt zoom.
