Are High-end Point And Shoot Cameras Like Lumix As Good As Dslrs?

A common doubt amongst most enthusiast photographers is whether a high end point and shoot digital camera as good as a DSLR

. The answer is both: Yes and No.

What one needs to understand about digital cameras is that they are only a tool to capture photographs. Who yields them is something that matters a lot. Give a DSLR camera to a novice and watch him squander the opportunity, while give a common point and shoot to a professional and watch him capture some delightful images. Do the reverse and you might still get similar results.

Now how about the other condition when its a professional trying to use a point and shoot digital camera and a DSLR for comparison purposes?

Clearly, a DSLR due to its virtue of more controls offers far more settings and thus effects in your pictures. It wins hands down. Capabilities of a point and shoot digital camera are however limited. It doesnt offer as much flexibilities, not even the best cameras. Fortunately that divide is quickly narrowing down, thanks to the advancements in technology and its shrinking sizes. Think of cameras like Lumix, which pack a punch in all departments and provided that you dont want to capture a picture that is very DSLR oriented, deliver equally exciting results. After all, best cameras such as Lumix packs all the powerful insights and experience of Panasonic imaging team, which year after year has delivered some most talked about and acclaimed cameras.

Another way to look at the question is to factor in the conditions in which photos are to be compared. If its normal day light and no external lights are required, high end digital cameras and DSLRs would have almost similar results. Of course the bokeh, which is the blur present in the background due to bigger apertures afforded by a DSLR, would be absent or minimal. Otherwise sharpness and colors would be as good. The real comparison would be when both the cameras capture an image with foreground and background in focus. The differences would be hard to tell!

With modern innovations, the differences are so minimal that most professional cameramen today carry a point and shoot digital camera as a backup for its innate quality of capturing things in good focus. Post production being completely digital today also means that they can inject effects in the images later on as well.

In the end a high end point and shoot digital camera can be equally exciting as a DSLR provided one knows how to play around with the settings and understand what all can be achieved in post processing. Once you master than, you virtually do away with the differences between digital cameras and DSLR cameras.
