The DSLR will have a better image quality, especially at low light levels. The sensor in this thing is very small, unlike the sensors in DSLRs or compact system cameras like the Nex. The smaller sensor also gives you much less depth of field, DSLRs are better at taking pictures with a sharp subject and a nice smooth background. A DSLR has an optical viewfinder, this one has an electronic one. A DSLR has exchangeable lenses and flashes. This thing is pretty compact, and has a great zoom range, getting lenses to cover this range on an SLR is quite expensive. In short, this is practical for travel, whereas a DSLR gives you more creative control. I have used a predecessor to this camera and a DSLR, both give great pictures and it is hard to distinguish a 20x30cm print. At a pixel level the difference is obvious and clearly in the DSLR' s favour, but that only matters for really large prints.

Voted hot, though.
Other options for similar cameras for bargain prices........
HS20exr or HS30exr from Fuji refurb site with 10% off using the code found in many HUKD threads.
I don't think I have ever found anything in stock close to me in Argos that has been posted up on HKUD.
Hope that helps

I just bought the Hs30exr from Amazon last week. Fuji make very very good bridge cameras - manual zoom and focus is a massive plus in my opinion
Non-interchangeable lens.
I have the g2 micro which is very good
As a really rough guide, in order of ascending quality, compacts then bridge then micros then dslrs
That said this Fz48 is good as you don't have to change lens it's a superzoom
Difficult to compare really as they are not the same things. This one has a great zoom range with good picture quality. A G3 will be a couple of steps up in quality but you'll spend an enormous amount on lenses to get anywhere near this zoom range (possibly into 4 figures!).
