Constance, I am not a professional but very much an amateur.
I have some very good SLR's but at this point cant afford a DSLR.
However even professionals used point and shoots and even Polaroids
to do pre work.
My dad (whose old exackta I have) even had point and shoots for the
everyday stuff. A DSLR is for good work.
I get a kick out of the folks who run around with DSLR's. It is a
status symbol or like bling to them, it does not make their picture
taking any better.

Compact digital cameras: here's a news flash: not everyone can afford
the latest multi-megapixel digital SLR with a lens as long as your
forearm. A moderately-priced point-and-shoot will let you do serious
photography on a budget. And if you only want snapshots of your
vacation to email to your homeys, a compact digital camera will do
the job just as well as a large, expensive SLR.
As someone who grew up in a family with a couple of dozen cameras
around the house at all times--my dad was a professional
photographer--I can tell you that this guy definitely doesn't know
what he is talking about.
