Yes, there's some new whizz-bang cool stuff going on with MDF that DSLR just can't match but it's not the same sort of total, all-encompassing leap in innovation we had in going from analog (ne, film) to digital. To borrow another technology, I had no trouble dumping VHS tapes for DVD's because it was a massive technological leap that was just jaw droppingly awesome on all fronts: smaller, lighter, better picture by far, so yeah, VHS to DVD: HUGE IMPROVEMENT. I'm having more trouble getting on-board with Blu-Ray over conventional DVD because the change seems more incremental. Hence, DVD to BluRay: NOT SO HUGE. And when it comes to complete changes in format there has to be some pretty freakin' huge payoff before I'm going to be willing to get fully on-board with it and for many reasons. Not the least of which is cost, duh, but also the new learning curve that, typically accompanies any new technology. I guess, soon enough, I'll be one of the old fuddy-duddies still shooting DSLR just like the old fuddy duddies that today cling to film. I use the term "Fuddy Duddy" with the utmost respect and reverence, by the way; so put down your Arnold Palmer and keep warming that rockin' chair.MDF will be the new DSLR soon, of that I'm quite sure. It's just not the format for me, at least not just yet.....</blockquote>
