[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 175051, member: 13556"] Typically, a DSLR has the potential to perform better than a similar P&S, but it must be used properly, with talent to back it up to fulfill that potential. You have to work harder to get the full potential out of the DSLR than you do to get the most from the P&S. Once you reach the full limit of the P&S, you should still have more capability in the DSLR and your results should show it. By saying the D7000 files are technically better, I believe this to be the case. If it bothers you to not have JPEG files, you can change the D7000 to provide JPEG files instead of, or in addition to, the NEF (RAW) files. I suggest you let someone you know take the same shots with both cameras, process them to remove any identifying information, and view them side-by-side. If you can consistently pick which camera a photo was taken with, you have an issue. If not, you have two good cameras. WM [/QUOTE]
