We all settle for a specific camera model based on its compatibility with our finances and its intended use at that time. Generally speaking they all 'feel' similar in the hand.
But when we try to branch out from this 'comfort zone', we invariably experience difficulties, awkwardness and incompatibilities with our established methods.
Ideally we need to decide where we are going, why we are going there and what is the best equipment setup for us.
Trouble is, there is 'make do' attititude in all but the most decicated perfectionists.
I have wellington boots...just now I ran out to the garage in the rain...in my carpet slippers. Because it wasnt worth changing for a few minutes.
Trouble is, I have a hole in my slipper's sole
). Knowing this ...I 'limped' across the backyard trying to minimise floor contact with that foot!!! Because it wasnt worth changing for a few minutes.
We frequently use zoom lenses despite them being optically inferior to primes. Because it wasnt worth changing for a few minutes.
All we are really doing, in trying to assign DSLRs to history, is hoping for something to replace it that has less bulk and weight, that can be used any time, any place, any situation ...but that retains its image quality and performance.
But in doing so, there will be trade offs and these will not be acceptable to everyone. Or at least, it will take some more evolutionary time to get it 'as right as the SLR'.
