Just JPEG results.
When I shoot JPEGs with my Optio 550 (which is all I ever shoot with the
Optio 550) in most well-lighted situations, the pictures that come off the
card and into my computer frequently need no post-processing.
If I use the istD as a point & shoot in the same way -- good lighting,
program autoexposure, save as JPEG -- I usually end up with pictures that
look overexposed or need post-processing for other issues.
So, then, the P&S is a very good P&S, and the DSLR makes a poor P&S.
But, I believe the default settings are different on the -Ds and again
on the -DL; I seem to recall Dario mentioning that.
