I have a very old film DSLR that I cannot IMAGINE carrying around, and although the new DSLR cameras are smaller I can't carry them around either. Plus, if I got a DSLR my parents probably wouldn't let me take it kayaking, to the beach, or really any place I normally would take it just for fun. I wish I knew of a camera that was both, but I researched on amazon and many other sites and came up with nothing so I would rather get separate cameras. I would only use the DSLR for real photography.
That's exactly my "problem". My DSLR will definitely NOT fit in my purse and I can't just take it everywhere as it gets in the way... when we vacationed in Hawai'i, I used my point and shoot for everythin; kayacking, hiking, on the beach -- places and things I just didn't want to risk breaking my DSLR just because I wanted "good" pictures. But for photography when I can plan accordingly, I definitely bring it
