I mean, wow, I'm floored by this. Totally floored. [Insert Massive Eye Rolling, HERE]There are photographers and there are snap-shot takers and the latter don't give a flying rat's a-- about white balance or RAW vs JPG or chromatic aberration; they want the convenience of using a portable device they already tote around with them 24/7 to do something fun with. Photography for most is just something fun to do. Fun. That's IT, that's where it ends. And it's not a big deal to them if they don't have print-worthy resolution, tack sharp images and perfect color balance because that interferes with the spontaneity which, to them, is very important because of the whole FUN factor.  It seems to me mirrorless cameras are great for photographers who, for whatever reason, need a small form factor but don't want to sacrifice image quality. If the Big Players thought mirrorless was going to carve deeply into the cellphone snapshot-shooter crowd I'm not surprised to hear their hopes are dashing against the rocks because it seems clear to me they misread their target demographic......</blockquote>
