Yeah, I think there seems to be a sentiment of P&S users being second class citizens to dslr owners..Not everybody needs or wants a dslr and the capital outlay that tends to go along with the purchase..As others have stated it's the photographer that makes the picture..the vision & understanding to see the photo before you actually take it, is not something thats going to be made better because you have a dslr...The camera markerters have done their job well..(i.e. "More Megapixels means a better photogragher/photograph")
