The fact of the matter is that most folks would be far happier with a P&S. Of course, I, myself, use a point & shoot in RAW mode... I feel that for the few times I need the capabilities of a SLR I can shoot film. My old P&S can do most of the stuff I use digital for quite well, if the manual functions were not clearly an afterthought I would be 99% happy with the thing.
