Because with a real camera, I could have done more. *shrugs*
That is indeed a cool pic!
I've taken great pics with compacts, too but as you say, the lights and everything else (plus a ton of luck for the right moment) needs to be right.
Two things really irked me with my compact: the shutter delay (and delay til the next shot) and that panning along with the action was really difficult as the display couldn't keep up (the F11 doesn't have an optical viewfinder). Despite it having exactly the same res as my SLR, the image processor doesn't stand comparison. Well, the £400 price difference has to be somewhere...
