[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 184523, member: 986"] I can understand that they may not be for everyone, but besides the obvious weight advantages over a DSLR and IQ over [I]most[/I] point-and-shoots, I believe the technical advances will evolve into the DSLR of the future. Why? The removal of a mirror simplifies the design (e.g. less parts especially moving ones), lowers the cost, improves the re-use of common components and reduces time to market. All advantages that the manufacturers seem to be chasing. To be honest, there are things [I]today[/I] that I can't do with my Nikon 1 that my DSLR can such as some low light capabilities, use of standard Nikon lighting products and extreme DOF to name a few, but it isn't that far off. But the Nikon V1 is a [B][I]fun[/I][/B] camera to use - despite a few quirks. As a hobbyist, isn't that why we purchased our gear in the first place? [/QUOTE]
