Best performance? You mean speed?
If it's PQ then I won't go into that DSLR / P&S story, cause everyone knows which is better. You said portability is not an issue, so it's DSLR. Zoom doesn't matter, so it's a DSLR. HD Video? P&S. Manual controls aren't a priority? P&S. So it's a tie. But P&S in your case, cause there is no DSLR in your budget which will have an Articulated screen, only 1100D will come in your price range.
If it's P&S I might wanna say P330, but it doesn't have an Articulated display.
Sujay might suggest you something ideal.
