Not everyone will be able to handle a dSLR, especially those egoistic and showoff wannabe kids with lots of money. Buy a dSLR but shoot pictures worse than P&S. 

Please look at the topic of the thread. TS already mentioned wanna look for a good pro-sumer, so please don't recommend dSLR. It is clear that TS' sister doesn't know how to handle a dSLR.

after having a DSLR - sometimes you just wish that you have a prosumer / digital compact.

anyway it's about their purpose. like what I mentioned in my article, prosumer you get ALL IN ONE package.

DSLR? good luck la, even used unit comes close to prosumer and that also with the usual 18-55 kit lens. zooming anything beyond 50mm? Ahahha......... good luck, spend around RM 600 more to get the lowest end 70-30mm.macro lens? prepare at least RM 1k more, or maybe you can get reverse-lens adapter to use kit lens backwards.

DSLR is definitely the superior one, considering you have lenses that costs a car.

just that let's say you wanna do many things with RM 2k, prosumer still has the advantage.

so G7 is better?
