Honestly I take the DSLR everywhere and don't really miss any photo ops and if there was a case where I could shove some pos p&s in my pocket and get the picture i might miss if I didn't have my gear (insert bob thorton here from bad santa "are you saying there's something wrong with my gear?") then honestly i wouldn't want the shitty picture from the p&s anyways.. wouldn't be worth my time.. guess I am a picture snob.. and really i don't feel a DSLR is that much bigger than a p&s..

I agree that some people are happy with p&s - my MIL and I argue all the time about it and she refuses to buy a DSLR - she keeps buying $300 p&s once a year and then they suck and she hates it and she goes to buy another with the mantra "i don't have to spend $600 to get a good camera" - so my FIL and I are like yeah but you didn't have to spend $5,000 on 20 crappy cameras either there einstein..

it's all preference.. and for a few minutes it was fun to have some banter back and forth with you.. my preference is definitely DSLR and nothing else..

As far as a delicious meal you must have a good stove.. that applies as well - say I want to cook a delicious 5 star gourmet meal - could I do that on a camping stove? shot, score.. take it and like it P_C..
