Default Rockwell on DSLR vs. P&S

My buddy, Ken Rockwell, did a recent comparison of high-ISO
performance between DSLRs that can be found here:
http://kenrockwell.com/tech/iso-comp...7-10/index.htm

Note what he says about the Point & Shoots near the end of the
article:

"I was too lazy to include a compact camera, which as I showed last
year, is abysmal compared to any DSLR. A typical compact camera, like
the Canon SD700 I use all the time, is ten times worse than any DSLR.
My SD700 at its lowest ISO 80 looks about the same as any of these
DSLRs at ISO 800! "

LOL! Even Ken Rockwell says, "Sucks to be you, Point and ****ters !!!"

No he doesn't!

You've got to hand it to Ken for being consistent.

For the best advice from a true professional see:

I think he's the guy with numerous nicks arguing for the P&S
lobby.

I am not sure having Ken agree with us is a help.

I read it differently - where you have enough light for ISO 80 you may be
able to get as good a picture with a more compact and cheaper camera.

Yes, I guess he assumes no one actually reads his crap.
I would have thought it was a fairly safe assumption, but then you go and
prove him wrong! :-)

I'm sure that's from the guy with numerous nicks and
numerous posts in here - fighting the good fight for the P&S
lobby.

Is that the same Ken Rockwell who slated a Pentax DSLR without even touching
one?

Don't see how that helps your cause.

You actually read that crap? Has anyone with a functioning brain ever
suggested that a P&S is a replacement for an SLR? Or vice versa?

Remember the key phrase here: "functioning brain."

Do yourself a favor and stop reading ****, and keep shooting ****, bugs, and
mutts.

Roger Clark has posted a good comparison pic on his site.
