There are so many advantages, many of which have already been mentioned. Creative control, unlimited zoom with interchangeable lenses, larger sensor for a sharper more detailed photo, shooting in low light, much longer battery life ( this is shorter if you get a D-SLR with Live View and use Live View all the time), stronger flash, faster continuous shooting speed....the list goes on and on. Compact cameras are good for that “out of the pocket” shot. You may get or may not get a wonderful photo. The D-SLR camera is for when you always want to make sure you get a perfect photo...not just a snap-shot.
