Wow. Thanks to this post, I expect to see all those big white and black
lenses at the football games, PJ events, etc start to disappear and soon!
Now that they know that a simple P&S will do a better job at capturing pro
football than their silly SLRs, why would they keep them?

As they improve and as more people realize how much more efficient they are for
all purposes, then yes you will see D/SLRs disappear. Just as you saw all
view-cameras disappear nearly a century ago at all major events.

Get it?

If not, then perhaps you should stand in the bleachers at the next sporting
event holding a view-camera on a heavy wooden tripod, with your flash-powder
tray in the other hand, both lofted high above your head. Then maybe you'll
begin to understand why it's only a matter of time, maybe only a couple years,
before your beloved, though ancient, D/SLR designs completely disappear from
common usage.

Get it yet?
