Quite obviously neither a P&S or a DSLR is going to be what everyone needs
- if that were so, then one or the other would die. You simply can't
accept the fact that different folks have different needs and let it go at
that!

Right. Asking us to be mature. Like asking a starving dog to refuse food.

If you'll reread, you'll see that I was not asking folks to be mature - I
know that's way too much to ask. I merely requested that folks try to act
like adults for a while.

I'm sorry, I had assumed that our friendly anti-DSLR troll had
disappeared, but it's just that my Usenet filters were working too well.
I didn't post that to bring him out of the woodwork, it was a legitimate
response to the thread on Sony launching a line of simple D-SLRs. The
reason they're doing this is because they believe that there are a lot
of point and shoot users out there that would like to have the
advantages of a D-SLR, but that feel that the current offerings are
overly complex to use.
Rather than just making their new D-SLRs simpler, they actually have to
explain to potential customers that these products will solve the major
areas of dissatisfaction with point and shoot digital cameras, as no
doubt most of us have explained to our friends and relatives.
The two biggest complaints of point and shoot cameras are the lag time
and the poor low-light performance. Neither of these problems were
present in point and shoot film cameras, and there is no technology to
fix the problems in point and shoot digital cameras. Hence, at this
time, going to a digital SLR is the only solution and the company that
can capitalize on this mass market will do well.

Getting a little off topic there, I think. The point is that I'm sick and
tired of all the bickering - all the arguments about: "16 reasons to
choose a DSLR over a P&S" which begets "25 reasons to choose a P&S over a
DSLR" which begets "37 reasons to choose a DSLR over a P&S" which begest
"51 reasons to choose a P&S over a DSLR" . . . And then all the incessant
"you're crazy - no one would want one of those damned things" . . . ad
naseum.

LOL, if you don't like bickering, what are you doing on Usenet?!

Ah, OK. Pretty much the same thing to me, though. I'll rephrase:
Right. Asking us to act like adults for a while. Like asking a starving dog
to refuse food.
Bowser
So don't read the messages and don't extend the thread by replying. It's
pretty simple, no?
Paul Heslop
definitely not asking for maturity then... I thought we were pretty
much acting as adults do nowadays.

I used to, but I gave my P&S (Canon S30) to my sister. She's very happy
with it.

What they really want to say, but have a lack of resources and
intelligence to convey with is...
"I want a button on my head where whenever I push it the image that is
displayed on my eyeball rear wall is captured into my memory and I can
download that to my computer for later retrieval"
I wonder what kind of camera and lens will match the performance of the
human eyeball?
It's really simple - if they only could say that instead of the
"GREAT TASTE / LESS FILLING" troll whines.

I wouldn't bother using a camera as bad as that even if it was cheap.
