In good hands, a good P&S can produce images far better than much of what is posted today, with even $1500-3000 DSLRs.

Not from a technical standpoint, unless the dslr user is utterly clueless at using the camera.

A technical good picture does not make a good picture. I can make perfect images of a white wall with a 1D X, and it is not good. Turning around and using the P&S will most likely get better pictures.

If however you're talking about composition and subject matter then all bets are off. The cost of the equipment bears little correlation with the ability of the owner to possess photographic vision. I've seen many boring and pointless photos taken with dslr's, just as with any other type of camera.

And, the best photographers spend hours on their few best photos to make the that good. The pros will often not be happy about the result from the camera, no matter what camera.
