With one exception, that being a Sigma DP1. Then I'd at least have SLR quality photographs, although the 28mm lens (full frame equivalent) isn't the best thing for wildlife

I also prefer a dslr to a compact but isn't it really about the shot? When I'm cycling I don't want to be encumbered with stuff and I'm usually with others who don't necessarily have the patience while I set up and wait for the shot. I'll have to check out the Sigma DP1.
Mike is right I ride for enjoyment or exercise or to clear my head, if I see a shot it would be nice to have a P&S to capture what I'm seeing at that moment.
