I don't agree that compact cameras can only produce snapshots, just because they give a huge DOF.
What if huge DOF is exactly the thing someone is looking for?
And creative work doesn't depend on DOF or the absence of it.

If you like the snapshot look from big DOF compact cameras, a compact will be fine. But no substitute for more creative work with a DSLR.
Slide film has a more dynamic feel, because of the special tonal curve. Also, you never viewed slide film photos in the same manner...
And "noise" with film is of a totally different character than the ugly noise from sensors... You are not being fair to slide film!
