A big factor for me when I was deciding which SLR to get was how it felt. I hate little point and shoots and I don't see the point of having such a tiny body if you're using a lens that winds up being 3X it's size.

The sensors are too small to really compete with DSLRs. From what I understand these cameras are also pretty slow. Slow and camera should not be said in the same sentence.

I think the idea of larger sensors in smaller bodies will get there someday. I'm just not sold on where the tech is right now. I also really really like my DSLR and it's four years old now. So.
