Arguments are starting between DSLR and P&S advocates as digital camera
technology evolves. My hopes are on the DVC (Digital View Camera) as the
final solution to these arguments.

Early P & S cameras were considered just toys with their tiny screens and
minute viewfinders. Now as the view screens get bigger and the sensors
get
better people are starting to see better pictures coming from this crop
of
new cameras. The simple ergonomics of these new P & S cameras is making
better photographers out of the people that use them. Taking shots with
both
eyes wide open is a definite asset to any photography.

The DSLR is a dinosaur with its clunky mirror and one-eyed viewfinder.
Fortunately you can see from the latest crop of DSLR's that they are
taking
their pointers from the P & S crowd and adding Live-View and larger view
screens.

The end result of this evolution will be the advent of the DVC which will
have a large and effective view screen, combined with an excellent CCD.
The
new DVC cameras will mimic the old film view cameras that many true
professionals still use today.

To me, the SLR will not be obsolete until electric viewfinders have
the same number of pixels or more than the main image chip. Not many
7 Mp LCD screens around.


It would be interesting to figure out what the effective resolution of an
eye looking through an SLR viewfinder is. What with all the optics and
focusing screens in the way, I would suspect it would be quite low.
