Think again. Here's a $600 Canon Powershot SX1 versus an Olympus
E-620 ($799, two zoom lens kit) at 200 ISO.

Think that P&S 20x super-zoom lenses suck in resolution and CA performance
compared to an easy to figure and manufacture 3x zoom DSLR lens? Think
again:

Think P&S cameras can't compete with a medium-format Hasselblad, something
that even a DSLR can't do? Think again:

Think that DSLR focal-plane shutters aren't a problem? Think again:

Think that teeny 1/2.5 P&S sensors can't have more dynamic range than an
APS-C sized sensor of 7-8 EV stops? Think again:

You can now buy a used DSLR in excellent condition for under $300 with
a kit lens from various sources. I bought a Nikon D100 for $125 a
month ago. What kind of clod would spend $200-$500 on a P&S if their
goal was excellent image quality and not portability?

So where is the 100% image and the EXIF data?
