[Buying advice] Camera - ILC or DSLR or full frame P&S ?

[sujoyp]

yes scene modes like landscape,portrait,night, firework etc...they r there right on mode dial along with PASM modes

If DSLRs are bad on auto then no point taking them Looks like RX100 is okay for my basic needs. Will go to the local store and check out ILCs too.

Either ways I am not in favour of carrying so much bulk (SLRs)

bro AFAIK, full auto, landscape, portrait, sports, no flash, night modes are available along with PSAM. but those modes dont allow expandable ISO ranges, exposure compensation, etc.. and special ,modes for fireworks, sunset, backlght are not available on slrs. if so many presets are made available, the mode dial would be 1.5" wide..

ILC and SLR are basically same. but you would may like to check out Mirrorless.

@anirban if u want expandable ISO ranges, exposure compensation, etc.. then u can definitely use P mode in PASM....other auto modes r very simple just like P&S

ILC = interchangable lens camera = m4/3, nikon 1,4/3, APSC DSLR, full frame DSLR,Sony Nex,Samsung NX, fuji X series (dont know sigma and canon's small sensor series name)

i thought OP said Full Auto, All the Time??

aree bhai...landscape,portrait,firework,night,twilight noflash are present in my mode dial of D3100...they r fully automatic...just move the pointer to the required mode and the camera will set itself like that
