DSLRs will get you the best quality; I've found portraits and scenery/landscape shots especially are extremely rich and clear. And it's easier to capture quick moments in that there isn't the same wait time you have with point and shoots in between shots - on these, it's immediate. For that reason, I think it's an ideal camera to have for family/friend gatherings and on more casual trips where it's not a hassle to carry around. The size is kind of obnoxious (the body itself is not much different than the bulkier P&S cameras, but even the standard lens is fairly big), and to be honest I don't use mine very often for that reason. It's not the ideal "on the go" camera; I've actually been thinking of buying a cheapie pocket camera to have with me all the time when I don't have the space/desire to bring the DSLR

I just did this! I just bought a Nikon D3100 and I absolutely love it. I got it because of all the other things the other person said. I got it with a camera bag, big memory card, and a card reader for $600 on Amazon. And I figure that my cell phone camera (which, when I finally get my new one, is 8 megapixel) is perfect for the every day stuff that I used to use my little point and shoot for.
