Would a digital SLR gives a better picture than a point & shoot camera?

Question by T E: Would a digital SLR gives a better picture than a point & shoot camera?
I have a Panasonic TZ3, a point and shoot camera, but I find that the photo color of my plants and flowers appears "washed". Would a digital SLR camera give a more colorful photo and if so, why?

Yes and no. The bigger sensor as well as the better optics in a DSLR can and do give better results.

However, it still VERY VERY much depends on the person behind the camera.

You can put a fantastic professional camera in the wrong hands, and it will take lousy photos. A good photographer, on the other hand, can coax great photos out of even the simplest cameras.

Attend a class, borrow a few books on photography and read/ watch a bunch of online tutorials and you will learn a lot.
With some knowledge, you will take much better photos and you will know how to overcome (or at least realize) whatever limitations your camera has.

What point and shoot camera would be best for an indoor concert?

Question by Anoe1221: What point and shoot camera would be best for an indoor concert?
I found out I can't use my DSLR at a concert that I'm going to so I need to look into getting a point and shoot camera. What is the best camera for the low light indoor concert? I'm not very close to the stage so I need something with a pretty good zoom on it. I want to try to stay under $ 200 if at all possible, but if that is unrealistic then I can bump that up.

You will need one that has manual exposure capabilities and an f/2.0 lens like the canon s95 but with a higher price tag.

I was going to get the NikonD3100 but I have to buy lenses, and I can't afford them.
So now I'm going to look at a top end point and shoot camera that:
Takes good night pictures, has a pretty decent zoom.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Any of the bridge cameras should do you (such as the Canon Powershot SX40HS. Make sure the camera has the manual modes, too, to give you better control.

The most important part will be learning how to use your camera, to turn the ISO down and most of all, for night photography, to use a tripod plus either the timer function or an external shutter release.
