I often thought of buying a new camera. My current camera lags when taking snaps and it doesn't have an image stabilizer. My question is, which do you prefer, DSLR or just a mini compact cameras that can produce good quality images without complex adjustment like an DSLR? I like to have a DSLR for its functions and photos it produces but i think it would be troublesome to take around when you go out as it is often too bulky and you wouldn't want to leave it in the car as it might get stolen. Do let me know your preference and maybe you might help me decide which one to go for.
Thanks

Most of the time, I prefer a DSLR. Actually, I bought a new one yesterday :-) I like having all the options, being able to change lenses, adjust exposure etc. IMO, you'd usually get much better photos with a proper DSLR (if you know how to use it :-) )
I have a small digital compact, a Canon Ixus that I use every now and then if I want to take a camera but don't have room for the DSLR or don't intend to use the pictures for something serious. I've had my Ixus for ages (7 years maybe) so it's quite old-fashioned now, but I don't think I'll get a new one as I don't use it very often.

I do agree with you that DSLR is more "FUN" to use. Since there are so many functions to explore and different lens and settings for different events. If DSLR is cheap enough, i wouldn't think twice to get 1 right now. Anyway, i'm now still in the process of saving some money for one :D
All the best and do enjoy your new gadget!

I definitely prefer DSLR camera, I have a Nikon DSLR and a Shoot camera and I find DSLR quality is better and pictures are nicer. Point and shoot cameras are useful too if you're going somewhere like a water park and don't want to bring an expensive camera.
I prefer NIKON brand for a DSLR camera.
I prefer CANON brand for a point and shoot camera.

Wow. you must be good at photography. Sometimes, film SLR does has its advantages as you can store the negative instead of storing just the digital image. I do see some competition that requires film as proof but currently DSLR is gaining much popularity as you can have plenty of shots without wasting any films :D
Have a nice day!
