Myself, I have little problem with crispness of P&S, even Mobilephone compared to a dSLR at 100% but its at 1000% that the differences show-up. These days they all have the same number of pixels (20,000,000 or so) but the size of the pixels as well as the quality of the optics determines the number of RESOLs in the images taken and, thusly, the crispness in a much-blown-up image of, say, a small bird far-away that's a fraction of the total scene. I compared an Osprey quite far away in photos taken at same time with my Sony RX10 at 600mm (35mm equivalent) and my Nikon 3300 at 300mm (35mm equivalent) with both expended to the same size -- and the osprey was slightly crisper in the D3300 images.

See, that is why it depends on one's standards. I would have a problem with a point and shoot. I am not saying you can not get a good picture with one, but I would want superior pictures from such a trip.
