should I keep my DSLR

If you don't utilize the functions on your DSLR...if you keep it in Auto or Program mode and you get what you need from your G10, then I say dump the weight. Maybe you could get rid of it by way of a lottery on this site.

It sounds to me you have answered your own question. I will carry my G12 far more than the DSLR these days. There are countless opinons on this. regards

I have been giving great thought to getting rid of my DSLR and just sticking to my G10.
Reasons:
1. It is a pain to lug around
2. It really can do little more than the G10
3. I do not blow up shots to 8X10
4. For most of my film life I shot a Leica and like range finder cameras.
5. I can crop photos on the computer and achieve what I do on a DSLR in framing.
6. The range finder is not intrusive and I do street photography
7. Why should I keep the DSLR?

You shouldn't. While you're out having fun with your sleek, sexy, less intelligent, lightweight model, the poor dSLR is sitting at home, sobbing all alone, in the dark prison you keep it locked up in. So set it free to have a life of its own. Let a new owner who truly appreciates it take it out on dates in the light of day regularly. When its rechargeable battery is refreshed, your dSLR will quickly remember what it felt like to be appreciated and enjoyed and held by hands that caress it with love, as it's new owner takes it around proudly in public and they work in unison to make beautiful art together.

I'll keep my DSLR because the last time I went to Arizona I took a super zoom and I missed the responsiveness of the Sony DSLR when it came to BIF and airplanes in flight.

After over fifty years shooting with Range Finder’s, SLR’s and DSLR’s I took up compacts and a iPhone. For me personally,what made my photography was diminished some what. Still thinking on it!
