The SX10 IS is a presume camera, you cannot change the lens, and the sensor size is about 14 times smaller than the smallest sensor on a DSLR. Does it matter? You bet it does, particularly in low light. With a small sensor noise will be a lot more noticeable and bright areas are much more likely to burn out to white which will have no detail. Images taken with a SX10 IS may well look OK in isolation, a direct side by side comparison with the same scene shot with a DSLR and a prime lens is jaw droppingly, gob smackingly better.

Single lens reflex - SLR means that you view the subject through the lens, not a viewfinder. They have interchangeable lenses as well. And by me, superior images. The SX10 IS is a good camera and considered a prosumer digital camera - significantly above the regular point and shoot. A prosumer is the type of camera a photographer might bring as a backup camera or the type of camera that they always carry with them to have handy. That's what I do, and it produces great images, but my Nikon D80 DLSR is magnificent. No, it’s not. Single lens reflex – SLR means that you view the subject through the lens, not a viewfinder.
