Can you take good pictures with a point-and-shoot camera?
Point-and-shoot cameras cannot take high definition shots when the lighting is low and that is where the flash come in. The way for a good shot is by finding the proper lighting for your shot. Work with the light that is available.
Which is better point-and-shoot or DSLR?
A DSLR always gives better quality of pictures than a point-and-shoot. The difference is evident while shooting in low light; with proper lenses and settings, a DSLR delivers superior results. Most DSLRs have a battery life of over 500 shots on a single charge. The point-and-shoot cameras usually allow 200 shots.
When should I use point-and-shoot flash?
The flash will serve as a second light source filling in underexposed areas of an image due to the metering mode of a camera. So, if the subject is just a silhouette, use a flash during a daytime shoot outdoors. Flash can provide cool photo effects when used at night.
