[/quote] Keep in mind most point and shoot digital cameras use very small sensors - about a quarter of an inch square. DSLR's sensors are many times larger - 60% the size of a 35mm film frame, and therefore produce better images than point and shoot models. My first DSLR, a Canon Digital Rebel, has a 6.3MP sensor. I later bought a Canon Digital Elph S500 point and shoot camera as a walk around model. It has 5MP. I assumed its images would be close to the quality of those from the Rebel. They weren't, and I later found out the sensor size made the difference. Bob Boudreau
