I'm looking around for a digital camera that's a step up from a point and shoot and I recently saw something about interchangeable lens cameras. What are the pros and cons of this sort of camera versus a DSLR? I'm also wondering about the range of lenses available to this sort of camera.
Answer
Olympus and Panasonic started the "mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses" trend with their Micro 4/3 system cameras like the Olympus E-P3 and Panasonic DMC-GF3X series. Sony has joined in with their NEX camera series and now even Nikon is on board with the J1 and V1. Pentax has also announced a model.
Olympus and Panasonic abandoned the traditional 4/3 lens mount in favor of the Micro 4/3 mount. Sony abandoned the traditional "A" lens mount in favor of their new "E" mount. Even Nikon has introduced a new lens mount for the J1 and V1. Pentax has also introduced a new lens mount for their entry.
While Sony kept the large sensor used in their traditional DSLR cameras and Olympus and Panasonic use the traditional 4/3 sized sensor, Nikon and Pentax have severely down-sized the sensors in their models. In fact, the sensors in the Pentax and Nikon mirrorless interchabgeable lens cameras are hardly more than what you'd find in a common compact point & shoot camera.
In my opinion you'd be better off with a more traditional DSLR.

Is a point and shoot camera with an interchangeable lens as good as a DSLR?

I've been looking at point and shoot cameras with interchangeable lenses and was wandering if they will take as good of a picture with DSLR cameras? Also with the interchangeable point and shoot cameras, will they capture night shots (for example the sky)? Thanks in advance for your help
Edited: The camera I'm talking about is the Sony Alpha Nex-5 which has interchangeable lenses but it has a LCD screen of the picture you're about to take which DSLR's don't use.
Answer
Two big things that determine the image quality are the lens and size of the camera image sensor. Most compact cameras have much smaller image sensors than DSLR cameras though there are some new more compact cameras that have either 4/3" chips or APS-C size ships which are equivalent to most DSLRs. Interchangeable lenses allows you to install a quality lens catered directly to the type of shooting you need. Don't expect to buy a camera with a kit lens and expect great quality though. Often good lenses cost $1000+ for a decent one though prime lenses (lenses without a zoom) will offer great quality without the huge cost. Some 50mm f/1.8 lenses are available for $100 with great quality. More tips at: http://www.learningcameras.com
