1. Compact and can be stored in a glovebox and whipped out at a moments notice. Versus an expensive DSLR that requires a bag to carry and the worry that someone might crack a windshield and snag it.

2. P-n-S's are getting better in MP and lenses.

3. Tripods aren't a necessity to take good pics.



All lies.
If someone can't capture a quality photo with a point & shoot then they can't with a DSLR either. Simple as that.

Using a tripod will always yield a more crisp image and using the timer or a remote while on a tripod makes it that much sharper. A tripod enables a wider aperture range too allowing more detail to be captured.

Most mid level point & shoots are more than enough camera for the average DSLR owner...better gear doesn't teach the basics like composition and how to make the most of the available light.

Back to your circus of a thread.
