This if fine if, as John points out, you're doing holiday snapshots. But why do that with a $1,000+ DSLR/lens combo when you can do JPG snapshots with a $100 P&S.
Because the optics and capabilities are better, for instance ;-) When doing "pleasure photos" I have the choice of taking my pocket Samsung or my D3200 Nikon (which is classified as entry level!). Depends if I want ease of movement or good optics (including a high resolution sensor). I may take a hundred photos, most of them just for remembrance, but then I may spot an eagle doing circles above me, and I know the pocket is not up to the task. Yesterday I lost a wonderful sunset. I had company and I could not find an advantage watching point. When I do "study" photos I may also take a hundred photos, many of them trials and checks to find out the best settings. Perhaps only one or two are worth it. I do not delete any! O:-) I tag the important ones instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
