There are a lot of people under the impression that in order to take compelling photos you have to have the most expensive gear, I can attest that this is not always true. Having a dslr is great because of the lens options, larger sensor, and manual controls; but aren't necessary all the time because depending on the lighting, the subject, and your required final resolution, you can capture roughly the same image with a point and shoot as you would with a professional dslr.
The photo here I think is a great example of this which was taken with my old Fujifilm J10 on a site visit for work. I think that if I were to have used my dslr the photo would have been very similar. Granted I did do some post work on the photo but I would have done that with the dslr file as well.
Being that I was there for work having the big dslr wouldn't have been very practical. I dropped my J10 on the concrete during this visit and I've gotten mud on it at other sites, not things I'd like to do with my expensive dslr so the J10 was the better camera to have. Sometimes there are sacrifices you have to make for what's practical, but as long as you know how to use what you have you can still capture photos you'll enjoy.
