DSLRs have some big drawbacks as well. You can't get them in your pocket. They are very expensive. You need dedicated lenses for different types of photography. They don't produce pictures with as much pop straight out of the camera meaning you need to spend time in PS.

Maybe people should just be discouraged from putting their gear in their signature.
Me and fletch agree 100%

And from reading all the post and those on previous threads it is actually the P&S users that have the problem. You should never feel that your images are not as good as those shoot with a DSLR. In reality the only difference between the two today is the ability to change lenses, and with some P&S camera's having 10-13x zoom and around 22-24mm at the wide end they don't need to change lenses.

I am afraid that the P&S issue is something that is also driven by book sellers and camera shops to keep up profits. I still have an old Kodak DC3200 1.3mp and use it.
