Digicams vs. DSLRs: The New Battle Royal
Michael Reichmann has published a great article on his Luminous Landscape website which weighs up the pros and cons of digital SLRs and compact digital cameras. Essential reading if you are trying to decide between the two types of camera.
“I believe that even serious fine-art photographers and working pros will now find several digicams worth considering - something that I might not have said 12-18 months ago. And fortunately as time passes this is likely to become increasingly true. Certainly for a broad range of amateurs and enthusiasts the better digicams may indeed be all the camera that’s needed.”

My husband bought me the Olympus Camedia 5060 wide zoom yesterday and I must admit that it does so much and has ultimate manual control that if you are after a camera that does almost exactly what an SLR would but without the size and weight this is the way to go, this fitted into my tiny little tote bag in it's case without any problem. I have only taken a few photos so far as I have to wait until the battery is fully charged but you can see a few of the quickies on my website. It also has a fantastic macro setting without the addition of extra lenses.

The arguments between SLR and advanced P&S already exist for a long time, for film and digital. At one time people were debating Olympus IS series all-in-one cameras are better than SLR for cost and convenience.
Each has its own pros and cons, depending on what you need. To me, the optical viewfinder of SLR and the high quality lenses available from major manufacturers are the most important against cost and convenience.
