Default SLRs Make Less Sense With Digital ?

The SLR was a great idea when needed to have a seperate path for

viewing as well as the recording medium so perhaps less need for a
seperate path via flip up miror ?


...and that is exactly why mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras are
gaining favor. With the FF MILCs it is also a market Nikon, and Canon have
finally entered even though they did so 5 years late. They still have a way
to go to catch up with Sony in that market, and they are not even
contesting the APS-C, or M43 MILC market.

TEN YEARS late. The Panasonic G1 was launched in 2007. Nikon and
Canon let others do the ground-work.


I was refering to FF MILC not APS-C, or M43 MILC, that would be about 5
years. Before that Nikon had their pathetic *1* cameras which were MILC.
