    Is a regular handheld digital camera just as good for photography?

    I am wondering if a regular hand held camera is just as good for photography as compared to a "professional" camera (one that has removable lenses and many gadgets and gizmos). Or is it all the same until touched up in a photo editing program? I am wondering because I am interested in photographing things and getting warm glows and nice colors that look very natural. Help? I don't want to have to spend hundreds of dollars on a brand new camera when my new camera could possibly do the same things.

    dear friend
    nice photography is not job of a camera...it is within you...
    it is not about jazzy colors or effects... it is about composition...subject... what it conveys... practice with same camera... do read some book on digital photography to understand basics...like...exposure...shutter speed...aperture..etc.
    gadgets are secondary... human is primary...
    go and shoot....

    You can take a good picture with a point and shoot, but you will not have the control you get with a DSLR. Things like exposure, your depth of field, contrast, focal length, etc can not be controlled unless you have a very advanced point and shoot, or a DSLR.

    If you are interested in photography I would use the camera you have as beginner. Read some books on photography and focus on things like composition before spending THOUSANDS of dollars on advanced equipment. Once you have a feel for things and are starting to feel limited by your equipments ability move up to an advanced camera.
