Once again I disagree...the DSLR gives a greater range than a point and shoot. It has a better sensor. So it DOES make a difference.
and yes a good point and shoot is all most people need.

f/2.8 describes the opening of the aperture. I tend to use the words "wide" and "narrow" to describe the relative size of the aperture.
