The beat goes on for higher quality point and shoots as more and more brands come out with the DX sensor in point in shoots.
It is intriquing to have a point and shoot like the old film point and shoot.
the old film days, the Lieca and olympus were two fine setups,, remember the Olympus OM1?
The OM1 was a little jewel (I still have mine),, where olmpus was proving they could make a fine little reflex camera.
Since both the SLR and point and shoot used the same film, then one could get close to the same quality.
For the longest time, that was not really true in the digital world, as the camera companies put itty bitty sensors into the point and shoot.
Finnally, as the iphones and such are eating the lunch in the point and shoot market,
the cameras companies are forced to provide what many of us have been begging for..
and to think they made earlier excuses of technical barriers.
So,, soon,, wonderful point and shoots or 4/3s are going to be giving SLRs a real run for the money..
I am waiting for a mirrorless Nikon, with a 7100 sensor, that will accepts both its own
ultra compact pancake set of lens,, AND... all of my other lens..
I will buy one of those... for sure...
wait wait wait wait...
