The following list from TheTechLounge represents 10 good reasons to buy a DSLR over a point-n-shoot digicam:

1. Creative Control: These cameras have a multitude of settings that are just begging to be adjusted. Everything from shutter speed and aperture to white balance, in-camera sharpening and contrast, white balance and white balance shift, flash synchronization, and more…

2. Superior Sensors: DSLRs typically use a sensor that is approximately the same dimensions as an APS film negative (22.7 x 15.1 mm). The larger sensor translates directly to higher image quality in terms of detail, color depth, and dynamic range.

3. Less Noise: Contrast that with your typical modern DSLR, where you can actually make acceptable prints even at some of the highest ISO settings.

4. Accessories Galore: There are lenses, filters, adapters, extension tubes, flashes, strobes, brackets, and the list goes on. Some lenses serve special functions as well, such as those with image stabilization, macro abilities, tilt-shift functionality, and soft focus.

5. No Shutter Lag: With DSLRs, there is virtually no delay between the time that you click the shutter and the image is taken.
