With all due respect, Jerry, there's a world of difference between a
fair and balanced critique, and focusing on just negative issues, real
and imagined.

You can argue that a Ford Escort is just as fast as a Corvette, and
you can argue that a P&S is just as good as an SLR, but the truth
will still be that a bigger engine makes for a faster car and a bigger
sensor makes for better image capture.

Fatally flawed analogy that's typical of compact camera denigration by

"My Escort really is faster than a corvette!"

It probably could get you where you are going every bit as fast.

Yep.

Most of the time. But not always.

Pretty much all of the time if you don't break the law.

Oh, so now you're trying to adjust the situation to benefit you.

I'll take that as an admission that you can't defend your case.

Similarly, a P&S is often quite
capable as a camera, but there are a significant number of cases where
an SLR will outperform a compact camera.

Sure. And vice versa.

No, not vice versa.
