Need a new camera for upcoming trip - I'm an absolute beginner, budget is 500CAD. All I'm wondering is should I get a DSLR or P&S?
I am willing to learn how to use a DSLR properly, however I do not plan to invest into the camera in the long run - no extra lenses or anything of the sort.
For example:
>400$ P&S vs 400$ DSLR (lens + body - nothing extra spent on lens)
How close are they in performance?
