[QUOTE="J-see, post: 426771, member: 31330"] The quality of the D3300 will depend upon the lens you attach to it. The sensor inside is better than your P&S but to get the image on that sensor you need a decent lens and that's again another choice. Will it take better shots on auto? That depends entirely. A DSLR can take a good shot switched on auto but it can take horrible shots too. Your scene and how the camera interprets the light of that scene has much to do with it. A DSLR isn't really intended to be shot auto. It's a "starter" option until people learn to shoot the "other" modes. Will it take better night shots? Yes but you have to work the cam to make it do that. Since you can expose at 100 ISO for any duration you like, you can basically shoot in the dark and get a picture out of it but every night shot requires you to be in control and have some idea of what you're doing. Zoom is a matter of lenses. You can go up to 800mm if you invest the price of a small car and can even attach a teleconverter to that. 10x zoom is a bit of an alien concept to me since we use focal length.
