Mine has Av and shutter control, but you can't compare the two. It's like putting a fart can on a Honda and calling it a race car.
Just look through all the shots you made over the years and see if you could achieve the same level with a point and shoot.
The way I think about it Tim is people that buy P & S cameras are not expecting to achieve the same results as someone that has a DSLR and if they are then they don't deserve to have a camera in their hands. Maybe I'm naive but I'm basing it on my own experience. I used to be into slr's. Normally I would have gone out with 3 hanging off my neck and a bag chuck full of lens. When I bought my first P & S I sure as hell didn't expect the same results but I did get a couple of damn nice shots. I suppose I was just lucky.
btw... there are some really, really fast Honda's out there.
