Why does it bother you so much that the majority of photographers, amateur
and pro, find P&S cameras more interesting, more capable, more
cost-effective, more portable, more adaptable, more publicly accepted, and
more important than DSLRs today?

Buggy-whip braiders in the early 1900's eventually had to find new jobs
too. I guess some people will just have to be dragged kicking and screaming
into the 21st century. You sound just like those that went on and on for
years crying about the benefits of film and how digital cameras will never
be better.

How many more years will it take for you to wake up?

That's okay. We'll wait. We understand why you are like you are.

If my opinion mattered, he'd be driving a Segway. But it doesn't. Neither does
yours. Or Barry's.

Rich, I have no idea when Dominion Day is, so I'll simply wish you a happy 4th
of July, and you can do the necessary date translation! ;^)

BTW, I mean no offense to the Brits in this group. Indeed, a case can be made
that our armed secession was unnecessary, since you'd have gotten tired enough
of us eventually. All I can say is that it did work out pretty well for us (at
least until those Bushes came along).

Bob,

All you did was set out more troll bait.
The fact is there are more P&SO cameras sold than DSLRs.
They are cheaper and easier to use. The trolls ignore or lie about the
limitations.

What's that? Oh, that's right. I hear your kindergartner-level photography
teacher calling you. You revealed the (lack of) depth of your skills and
knowledge about photography in another recent post. That's why I know this.

Bzzt, wrong.

The majority of photographers now use cell phone cameras. More
cost-effective, portable, adaptable, and definitely more publically
accepted.

As you like to point out, sales figures don't lie.

Counting the sales of cell-phones as cameras is like counting the sales of
microwave-ovens as clocks.

A point for the Troll! Always give credit where and when due.

Yes, a good'un. My cameras, and cars, TVs and telephones also have
clocks in them. Over clocked I am!
