[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 215842, member: 9240"] I don't think the author is speaking so much of the goals of us in the "graying" demographic as much as he's commenting on how the market is driven by the expectations of those of us happy carrying around our 4-5 lbs of equipment, and questions whether or not companies are better off listening to other voices lest they be left behind. I have to say that I've reached a point where I am firmly convinced that if I buy another DSLR in the next 2-4 years (outside of replacing damaged equipment) I am a complete idiot. There's nothing out there or on the horizon that can possibly help me as a photographer where that's concerned. Perhaps a lens or two, but otherwise if there's an itch I've been wondering whether or not to scratch it's that compact and flexible mirrorless for just walking about, and working in a "limited" format - like the idea of shooting with nothing but a 50mm. Thankfully, without a decent camera shop anywhere nearby I'm left to reading about them instead of fondling them, and I'm not all that excited by that. I do believe I have a place for both, but for now I'm content. But that's just this morning. [/QUOTE]
