You didn't expect a P&S camera to take as clear pictures as a SLR 
with a decent lens on it did you???

I usually carry both.  My Yashica T4 Super stays in my pants pocket, 
and can be whipped out at a moment's notice.  Usually, its reserved 
for people pix.  When I want to do a nice scenic, macro work, etc... 
I get out the tripod and my SLR/TLR or whatever I have in a "real" 
camera :)
