Here am I comparing my point and shoot camera, Nikon Coolpix B500 with a DSLR camera. Check out my Nikon Coolpix B500 photography tutorials at /watch/KgBWntLIBMWgcW6qy09ZOPWk_JYCi8tKLP=tsil&4O-swum23qS2W Nikon Coolpix B500 is a great camera with wonderful 16MP picture quality and 1080p video quality. Very easy to operate with a good battery life of about 600 shots with a single charge. But can these specs match those of a DSLR? Hmmm...

@marcozg775 years ago A dslr is a system. If you decide to go with a dslr, you have to be aware that the camera body is only the beginning. You need additional lenses to unfold this adds to total weight, volume and cost. It is also time consuming. Above entry level, dslr offer great manual control - but for that to use, you need to learn the very basics of photography; if you only know the automatic mode, manual controls won' t help you much. And to get the most out of your raw files, you need a lot of time, and you also need to learn how to process these files.
if you are willing to go this way (which i did) if and only if you are willing to learn and continue to learn and work on your skills, then you will be rewarded with great images as the dslr is an extremely powerful tool if you know how to use it right. But then it is a hobby, rather than just " i' ll have my cam with me, so just in case i see something, i can take a picture" however, it really might not be the right thing for everyone.
the b500 looks like a great tool. You can do a lot with such a camera. It' s versatile, but in another way than a dslr is: its versatility comes from its small size and little weight.
that means you can take it anywhere, but still have much more power than with a smartphone.
i had a look at your b500 playlist and as i live in a very touristy area i see tons of people with dslrs regurarly, and i can say:
you are maybe getting better results with your b500 because you go to the limit of what this camera offers, you really seem to be willing to learn, and to shoot.
while i see many tourists carrying heavy gear, just to show off, they use the crappy kit lenses and are shooting standard objects in a standard way - boring. ...Expand 7

@davidrobot78186 years ago The nikon b500 is a great camera that beats a dlsr in many situations. Some examples being; weddings, photography) party' s and events. i disagree that the b500 should be classed as ' point and shoot' it goes way beyond this as thetitle suggests. Although i agree it doesn' t reach the picture quality of most dlsr' s.
