How about at least TRYING to act like intelligent adults for a while? Quite obviously neither a P&S or a DSLR is going to be what everyone needs - if that were so, then one or the other would die. You simply can't accept the fact that different folks have different needs and let it go at that! > How about at least TRYING to act like intelligent adults for a while? > Quite obviously neither a P&S or a DSLR is going to be what everyone needs > - if that were so, then one or the other would die.

I'm sorry, I had assumed that our friendly anti-DSLR troll had disappeared, but it's just that my Usenet filters were working too well. I didn't post that to bring him out of the woodwork, it was a legitimate response to the thread on Sony launching a line of simple D-SLRs. The reason they're doing this is because they believe that there are a lot of point and shoot users out there that would like to have the advantages of a D-SLR, but that feel that the current offerings are overly complex to use. Rather than just making their new D-SLRs simpler, they actually have to explain to potential customers that these products will solve the major areas of dissatisfaction with point and shoot digital cameras, as no doubt most of us have explained to our friends and relatives. The two biggest complaints of point and shoot cameras are the lag time and the poor low-light performance. Neither of these problems were present in point and shoot film cameras, and there is no technology to fix the problems in point and shoot digital cameras. Hence, at this time, going to a digital SLR is the only solution and the company that can capitalize on this mass market will do well. >> If you'll reread, you'll see that I was not asking folks to be mature - >> I know that's way too much to ask.

Getting a little off topic there, I think. The point is that I'm sick and tired of all the bickering - all the arguments about: "16 reasons to choose a DSLR over a P&S" which begets "25 reasons to choose a P&S over a DSLR" which begets "37 reasons to choose a DSLR over a P&S" which begest "51 reasons to choose a P&S over a DSLR" . . . And then all the incessant "you're crazy - no one would want one of those damned things" . . . ad naseum. > Getting a little off topic there, I think.

So don't read the messages and don't extend the thread by replying. It's pretty simple, no? >> I'm sorry, I had assumed that our friendly anti-DSLR troll had >> disappeared, but it's just that my Usenet filters were working too [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > all the incessant "you're crazy - no one would want one of those > damned things" . . . ad naseum. What they really want to say, but have a lack of resources and intelligence to convey with is... "I want a button on my head where whenever I push it the image that is displayed on my eyeball rear wall is captured into my memory and I can download that to my computer for later retrieval" I wonder what kind of camera and lens will match the performance of the human eyeball? It's really simple - if they only could say that instead of the "GREAT TASTE / LESS FILLING" troll whines. SignatureSneakyP To reply: newsgroup only, what's posted in ng stays in ng.

I wouldn't bother using a camera as bad as that even if it was cheap.

Like asking a starving dog to refuse food. > >> How about at least TRYING to act like intelligent adults for a while? > >> Quite obviously neither a P&S or a DSLR is going to be what everyone [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > know that's way too much to ask.
