Can high end digital cameras now match dslr in image quality?
High end digital cameras keep getting larger sensors. Can these high end point & shoot cameras produce entry level dslr images? For example, can the List SX1IS match the Pentax K-X? I am only comparing the image quality, not zoom, record, ad audio features.

No there is stilla fantastic apportion between point and shoot camera’s and DSLR. You get what you pay for.

Answer by fhotoace
Really high end P&S cameras sensors are NOT getting larger, they are only life jammed full of more pixels
The List SX1 IS still only has a tiny 1/2.3 ” (6.16 x 4.62 mm) sensor, but with 10 mp populating it.
The Pentax K-X on the additional hand has a sensor that is over 15 times the size of the SX1 IS or 23.6 x 15.8 mm. A better way to show this is by listing the pixel density of both
SX1 IS = 35 MP/cm²
K-x = 3.3 MP/cm²
You can see, not only are there fewer pixels per cm², but for that reason, they are much larger pixels which can collect more light upon exposure and thus produce less “noise” across the board.
This should apparent up your misunderstanding about pixel counts

Respectfully, I disagree with the additional answers. High end point and shoot cameras can match dslrs in image quality. It’s not about the megapixels, it’s about the quality of the lens, lack of noise, and the depth of field (DOF). If you want to see for yourself, google SX1IS gallery and look for sample pictures taken by ordinary public. Or check out sample galleries in the review sites, like the one here http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsx1is/page18.asp
I have owned multiple digital cameras since 2001, including DSLRs, prosumers, and point-and-shoots.
Your question was if high end digital cameras can match a dslr in image quality. Yes they can. I have some photos taken with high end point-and-shoots that you cannot tell that it was not taken with a dslr. There’s a catch, but. You have to be in the manual settings, and you have to work a bit harder for the same quality results. A high quality shot with a dslr is very simple. A similar shot with a prosumer point-and-shoot is simple if you know what you’re doing, and harder if you don’t. It’s not possible with a low-end point-and-shoot, which pretty much keeps everything at the same level of focus (because they have fewer if any manual settings.)
The SX1IS does have a quality lens and the apt manual settings. But, I’d still highly recommend a DSLR if you can at all afford it. A DSLR has much more flexibility because of the ability to exchange out the lens. I’d only go with an SX1IS for reasons of budget. If you already own a film SLR, I’d strongly recommend getting the digital version of that camera, if you can re-use the lenses you’ve already bought. If not, I’d recommend getting the low-end List or Nikon cameras. Their prices are similar to the Pentax, but they’re among the highest rated and well loved low-end DSLRs. That also earnings accessories are simpler to find, and more likely to be on sale due to high demand.
I’d recommend a List (of any kind) in particular, because when it ultimately reaches end of life and breaks, you can take benefit of the List Loyalty Program, which will allow you to trade in the dead camera for a refurbished current model at a fantastic money off.
