Technically, a long exposure can be done by switching to manual mode and selecting the exposure time (up to 30 sec in your camera). But in order to get a good exposure you also need to set the aperture and ISO. Getting a good long exposure result might be impossible due to the amount of light in the scene and the physical limitations of the camera.

As answered before me, one of the differences between SLR cameras and compact cameras is the sensor size. Assuming we'll have a compact camera with a big sensor we'll encounter a problem.
Small sensor "creates" big crop factor: about 4-6, so a compact lens can give a nice range and acceptable focal length, but when you are up scaling the sensor size you ...

It's sort of possible, with a large enough sensor and good enough optics.
There are at least two compacts on the market that fit the bill:
Fuji X100S with an APS-C sensor. That's the same sensor size as low- to mid-end DSLRs.
Sony RX1 with a full frame sensor, same as high-end/pro DSLRs. (The price tag is also in the high-end DSLR region.)
Both of these ...

Yes it is. They key is that you said Quality and nothing else. There are several compact cameras which use the same sensors as DSLRs and they therefore output virtually the same quality.
These are known as large-sensor compacts which only a few exist at this time. This search gives you the complete list of current models. Recent models include the Fuji ...

Large APS-C sensor mirrorless cameras very nearly offer compact camera portability and can produce the same image quality as APS-C DSLRs when using comparable quality lenses, of which there usually some available.
Look at the SONY NEX, Fuji XE interchangeable lens cameras, and fixed lens models from Fuji, Sigma and Nikon.

The main differences between compact cameras and DSLRs are mainly 3:
Sensor size: compact cameras have small sensors, that give you little space to play with shallow depth of field, and give you a smaller dynamic (the ability to catch in the same shot bright and dark objects keeping details in both).
Ability to use multiple, different, lenses: above a ...

The main impacts on quality for an SLR are the sensor size and quality, the quality of the optics and the easy ability to adjust manual settings. Many of these features can be achieved in a compact camera. The Fuji X100s for example puts an APS-C sensor in a compact camera body and offers many of the typical manual controls.
Mirrorless interchangeable ...
